Hi All,
Got abit of an intermittent misfire on my 99 fzs600 since adjusting my valve clearances last weekend. Got a few working theory's about it but thought I'd get a post on here as people always have something helpful to add.
I have had the cam cover off again to triple check the clearances which are all nicely in spec. I've ordered some new plugs, seems unlikely to help but they are over due a change so cant hurt.
Main concern is my timing. In you experience how precisely should the timing marks line up on the fsz6? When I've done timing in the past on other bikes I know the marks can seem off by a few degrees. I was loosing light when doing to job so had to rush the end abit (not ideal), when the cam marks are perfectly lined up I'd say the crank is about 8mm below the mark I couldn't seem to get it any closer (do you think that's ok).
Could slight timing cause an intermittent misfire, surely timing is right or wrong?
Thanks All (Happy Christmas)
