Ye tell me about it only chance I get to ride my bike is to and from work. On nights Monday so I might be able to get out in the morning if I can find an excuse not to finish the back bedroom before we're away at the end of the month.

I have a stutter/ bogging issue when warm mainly since changing the oil and draining the excess !!! And fitting a new filter itnow bogs between 7, 000 and 10,000 plugs didn't sort it either carb balance next week and see what happens hope you get it sorted

[Dead Eye]

Did you change the air filter as well?

[red98]

swapped and changed the air filter on "the stuttering one" and it does make a difference...took the new K+N out and put the hiflo in and it did run better.slight improvement without filter ....i have standard can on mine,if you have K+N and after market can/system iam sure a rolling road and rejet will squeeze a few more horses from this lump  .....i have an old suzuki gt250 x7 with microns spannies and k+n filters and no air box.re-jetting two sizes up made a hell of a difference    lifts front wheel in second just on the throttle...scared the living daylights out of me the first time  :eek :lol

If its for me I fitted a new air filter new new oil and filter new oil new plugs and trimmed the leads.

I have also drained the carbs I would say all the above has made it slightly better but not perfect.

It has to be the carbs as it was fine until the air filter was changed and the oil drained it did have 3.5 litres above the max !!!!!!!

Just a general observation for anybody chasing a misfire or stutter. During my investigation I cleaned my carbs, replaced my plugs, replaced fuel filter, cut back my ignition leads did a carb balance none of which did anything. My symptoms only came to light after riding the bike hard for a few miles and then she would misfire on hard throttle at low revs. I would recommend anybody who has a misfire symptom to replace the plug caps. You can get 4 NGK replacements for less than a tenner.
Another possible red herring symptom is a rough idle. I have a K+N filter and a Beowolf end can with baffle in. Even after doing all of the above my bike still doesn't idle smoothly but rides great so I'm not worrying about it.

ok.....change of plan,ive bought a complete running/motd/taxed spares bike as a "parts swapper bike" for "the stuttering one",needs a bit of fettling to make sure all is ok and then the swapping will begin.....not sure yet where iam going to start  :o ....a bit of thinking time at work today me thinks 

[Exupnut]

By the time u fix the bloody thing red you'll be an old stutterer urself. If i win lotto dont worry mate...i'll buy u a b.b.b.b.blue one.

given the choice between a stuttering red fazer and a blue thing.......i`ll take the RED one,every time  :lol :lol :lol

What's wrong with the new one you've bought? Or is it simply a matter of you refuse to let the universe win and you are determined to get your '98 back on the road without its stutter

not going to be beaten by "the stutter"....when its all sorted i`ll bring it along to one of the lofo`s ride outs and you`ll see why....its a cracking looking bike    in the best colour 
  not had much of a chance to look at the new one yet but a quick check over last night found.......missing centre stand,bent clutch lever,broken exhaust stud,damaged thread on front sprocket shaft, no nut !!,carbs held on with cable ties  :eek ....saying that it does start and runs well with a high tick over possibly caused by the blowing exhaust and cable ties letting in a bit of air,air box side of the carbs,a weekends fettling should sort these out   

[tony22]

Not sure if you have changed the air filter or not, but mine used to do the same thing, replaced with a k&n and no more stutter...

[nick crisp]

I think by now he's replaced everything but the tyre valve caps, but he can't remember what's been done - you'll have to start over again Paul!

[red98]

played around with the air filter a couple of weeks ago...it did make a difference between k+n and standard but stutter still there  .....with the new bike as spares doner it does feel as if iam starting again  :o

[nick crisp]

Cheer up mate, at least you've got the thou to play on meanwhile.

ohhhhhhh yesssssssss  ......had i not bought the thou,i like to think i would have had it sorted by now  :rolleyes

[red98]

update....i now have a spares bike  ....suffered the "front sprocket nut"issue and lost its nut on the M25 damaging the thread as it rattled around in the cover,thread repaired and new 12mm nut and tab washer fitted along with a new clutch lever and i was able to ride it down the road....tyres have had it but apart from that it rode very well  ....so tonight ive been stripping a few parts off it to try on "the stuttering one.parts include...
