Hi folks
My Fazer has started playing up. Difficult to start but when started it idles ok for a while but miss-fires when revved and the oil light and temperature lights come on simultaneously then go off, ideas rough for a while before settling down. When revved again it miss-fires and then cuts out. When trying to re-start from hot it doesn't want to start but turns over very quickly as iff it has very little compression. Have ordered a compression tester but would welcome any views in the meantime.
Only thing I have done recently is add a bottle of red-line fuel cleaner in an attempt to sort out the rough idle (thinking it was maybe gummed up pilot jets). Probably shouldn't have put the whole bottle in - now thinking I may have fried the effing engine....
