stuttering fzs 600

[nick crisp]

You can suggest the Hubble Space Telescope if you like, all I can see is trees - where's the foccin wood?!  :lol

I noticed that you were too ashamed to post a pic until it was fixed - does it look different now it doesn't stutter?  :lol

When i say it's savage gear, i really do mean it!
I didn't trust normal mechanic gloves so used a glamorous pair of yellow marigolds instead, and you'll need eye protection as well.
And i got a black bin bag and wrapped it round the engine behind the downpipes to protect the paintwork.
Even with those thicker gloves on the tips of my fingers tingled for a couple of weeks, you really don't want it on your skin or worse still in your eyes.
Sprayed it onto a small square piece of green Scotchbrite pad and just rubbed away for a few minutes on one pipe at a time then carefully rinsed off with a hose with really good results. It foams up like washing up liquid so it's easy to see what you're doing as well.

its always looked good nick  .....a few small jobs to do and i have myself a classic in the making 


i see your happy with the ivans kit  ...thats got me thinking 

[nick crisp]

Well, the Ivan's has cleared up my own bike's stuttering problem, and generally smoothed everything out. Had a bit of a ding-dong with a zzr1400 on fast winding A road today too, and doubt if it would have been able to stay with that one like it did before Ivanising! But even if it's not more performance you're after, I'd say do it, cos it just makes it so much nicer to ride generally.

Hello all

I have today bought a 1999 600. it has done 32000 miles and is quite tatty - I only paid £650 for it though

I have previously owned 2 x 600 early fazers, 2 x thundercats and a naked FZ6 - so I must like them!!

It has a Scorpion race can on it and I took it for a test ride before I bought it- it rides ok, but did have a stutter on full throttle. I put it down to having a race can on it and that it has been stood for a year. I plan to put the standard can back on, put new plugs in and have the carbs balanced.

I read with interest this thread and it was good Saturday night reading!!

The paintwork is tatty so was planning on having it re-sprayed professionally. maybe a current white colour?

I hope that the above work will make it run properly, but will keep you guys informed

[Paulfzs]

this made for a funny read lol

[midden]

I don't normally read books let alone full blown novels but having completed this one i've  learned that it really is best to read the end first  :rollin
So as i now appear to be suffering a bad  'stutter'  (started mildly last year i think)  im going to get the multimeter out and start with testing the regulator.


Hopefully posting your trials & t's Paul will help ease mine, after a few paracetamol ofcourse  :\

Hi neil........chapter 2 is all yours  :rolleyes .....keep us updated .....

I've got the same problem Bike has an aftermarket can and pipes, my regular mechanic suggests it could be down to this.




So far I have done the following (some just because it needed it):

• Oil and Filter change
  
• New Spark Plugs
  
• New Spark Pug Caps
  
• Brake Fluid change
  
• Carbs Balanced
  
• Checked air filter - looks pretty good still
  
• TPS Checked and all good
  
• Replace Coils
  

Still to do:

• Regulator/Rectifier
  

Anyone have any other thoughts as I'm committed to fixing it now!

Did you cut about 10mm off the end of the HT leads when putting the new caps on? The internal wires get pushed into the outer cover of the leads over time making the connection to the cap screw not as good as it can be.
Do a quick TPS check and make sure that's positioned correctly.
Replace the fuel filter.
Difficult to suggest an air filter "looks okay", do you know the history of it? If not change it, personally i would go for a K&N, but if not don't buy the cheapest one you can find as they can be crap.

i read earlier about sealed in ht leads to the coils
i cannot garruntee on the fazers but these often can be redone with a bit of time and patience
i did some on my gsx1100 chop build i just used a bradawl and a little screwdriver while sat in the garden watching youtube
just started picking out the epoxy that was holding in the ht leads then yanked it hard (then got back to working on coils)
once out i was able to clean up the surfaces with screwdriver scraping, inserted new HT's and a bit of epoxy, job done

Thanks for the thoughts.  Forgot to mention that I'd checked the tps.


I'll order an air filter
