I still say change the oil for semi synth.....& i dont know shit about oil really....but with so much controversy over semi and fully synth and being that i think most fzs600 are run on semi synth then i think a nice little oil change for all the money it costs would be a good start.

A quick question before I need to run out of the house.
Took cabs of bike and the pics show what I have found. I do not think they are that bad but there are some concerns and need a little advice.
Pic 7 The filter in the centre of the cabs was not connected to any thing on the bike. Is this correct?
Pic 8 Second in from left screw and washer missing from chock rod. Will this be of detriment on its operation?
Pic 9 Float bowl drain screws. I can not get any of them to move. Do I need them in working order when back on bike and priming fuel?
Pic 12 Ordered new O rings as you can see with the clean gasket and dirty. I is normal ware and to be expected?
Pic 13 Diaphragm housing on carb 2 is sooted up which was not present on the first card. This sits beside the filter in pic 7. Is this normal?
How do you remove the needle from the diaphragm?
Will be stripping the other two carbs when I get back home
Thanks
Daz

quick answer.........yes
no....is correct
no
yes
no...check mixture screws
just peel the diaphram away,bit like removing a tyre,check for holes and splits and it is still nice and flexable....i think the needle is held in place with a top plate held in place with the big spring.
:rollin :rollin :rollin Red you sure sound like my Doctor. But I is comfort eating due to the bike been off the road for two weeks now. It's like loosing a limb :'(
Hope to be test riding tomorrow

Yesterday I put the bike back together and fired her up with petrol pissing out all over the place from the carbs. This was after putting in a new K&N air filter. The bike had been run for 10 mins with rad flush in the coolant system with no signs of a leak. I then drained and flushed with 15L of distilled water. There were fine black particular matter floating in the water that eventually ran clear. It took me and my bro an hour to strip carbs off as I had a good idea why petrol was pissing out of the float bowls. It was the new gaskets so I simply put the old ones back on that did the job.
But this is what happened when taking out the carbs

Did I say simple?
So eventually got the clip off put old gaskets back on but use (sparingly) rubber grease to hold them in place and refit. I did prior to this use carb cleaners for cleaning the carbs :think and I used a guitar string to ensure the fine holes were clear. Then I soaked all metal removable parts in carb cleaner for 30 mins.
So the cabs are back on the bike and home for a beer.
Got a call this afternoon from numb nuts and he says bike still fucked as he took it out as crash test dummy. I pointed out the obvious that the clip was missing and cause a vacum problem. I went round took the bike out and bloody hell the difference is amazing even with out a clip fitted so off the a spars shop and clip fitted and I is a really happy :faz owner.
The stutter is no more.

so a good carb strip and clean solved the stutter.....well done matey ....might be a good idea to balance the carbs now,if they hav`nt been done for a while you will notice an instant improvemant........now get out there and enjoy your fazer
Ive got a stutter in my pants right now!!!!......coz another :faz has been saved!!!!!!
Well done Daz & no spoiling it all by popping back on tomorrow saying it is back again!!! :eek
So you're off the kebabs & comfort food now & all back to normal eh...since the bike is back, excellent!
Just a quick one though, on your most recent post you say you stuck on a new k&n, had you tried that before the carbs came off???, i mean can we be sure whether it was the carb cleanor the air filter that cured the stu tu tu tter er er?????

No mate I was getting pissed of with doing one job at a time with the tank on then off. My pants don't removed as often as the tank. The filter was a last minute decision. I suspected icing was taking place as it was intermittent, up in high revs and at speed when stuttering was happening so a possible blockage on the coolant in the carbs. Air filter I took off had less than 100 miles on it but the K&N seating in the air box is second to none.
I is a happy foccer :woot
