When I'm travelling at high (i.e. unrestricted autobahn) speeds, my 600 develops a real reluctance to accelerate.
I'll be doing over 7k rpm and when I open it up it just dies for about a second before picking up again, like I've actually switched the ignition off, which makes overtaking dangerous.
I've had the tank up and checked the fuel lines are in good condition, not kinked or blocked. I've changed the plugs and had it serviced but it makes no difference. The battery is in good condition, TPS is fine (jumping to 5k when tested) so I reckon the next stage is to check the carbs.
I've not checked the rubbers or stripped the carbs down because in my experience with car carbs, any leaking inlet rubbers or sticking needles affect the tickover/low revs more than high revs. Is that wrong though?
The next thing I was going to do is balance the carbs, but before I start I just wanted to know if there's anything obvious I've missed.
What do you think?
Broken, bruised, forgotten, sore,
too fucked up to care any more.
Fuel filter dirty or partially blocked maybe.
Air filter
More people are born because of alcohol than will ever die from it.
Might be worth trying some STP Complete Fuel System cleaner before surgery - love the stuff.

Thanks for the link Tiger just ordered a 400ml bottle on fleaBay. Bike is running fine but it is supposed to help clean and maintain the whole of the fuel system so can only do good, and it will help prep it for an overwinter sleep engine wise. (About 10 to 12 weeks)
Hair dressers car in for a new clutch tomorrow.
Thanks for the replies, I thought the air filter would've been replaced in the service (60k) but I'll have a look at that and the fuel filter this week.

Ignore the instructions, lob the whole bottle into a full tank of fuel.

:agree

Is it only if you crack open the throttle open at around 7000 rpm and ok if you take it up through the revs say from 4000 to 10000?

Bit rude!
Oow! stop poking me like that or I might have to pinch you with my heated hair tongs :lol [/size]

Sorry for the delay in replying. Long story short: Cancer took a close relative, up to me to clear out her house, inherited her collection of cats, house got broken into and a few mates and I had to comvince some squatters it was in their best interests to leave.
Fitted new air and fuel filters, but both were spotless anyway, new plugs, new caps, a good dose of STP (tank almost empty, dropped a bottle in, 50 mile blast, then filled up) all made no difference.
Next step I suppose is to strip, clean and balance the carbs, but you've heard of the phrase cash rich and time poor? Well I've got fuck all of either. :rolleyes

That's exactly it. I can cane it from a standstill and it'll pull all the way up to 120 without a problem, but if I'm already doing 90 it just bogs down.

Change the Rectifier/Regulator
Will do, cheers.
Any recommended supplier or will it be an ebay job? I usually use wemoto but they don't list one for the FZS600.

Last time I had that very similiar issue on my sonss Fazer, I bought second hand one from Fazerspares in Bristol, be careful as there are 2 types fitted to the 600 fazers and the one you want is the SH650C-11. Just checked Fazerspares and they have one for around £25.
Static tests on the faulty one showed it was working fine. When I changed the original for the spare from fazerspares all was fine, just to prove it inconclusively we put back the original and problem returned. Only thing I could think of was that it was breaking down. Not a very common problem and which is why I took the risk of buying secondhand
The rectifier regulator from the FZS1000 is exactly the same model with a longer lead.
Thanks a lot for the advice bud, I'll put one on my shopping list!

Ordered it from Fazerspares this morning so I'll let you know how it goes soon.
