GÄNSEHAUT PUR!!!!! Das waren die geilsten Zeiten! Und ich war dabei. Ich danke Gott auf Knien(und meiner Mama) das ich 1977 geboren wurde und in dieser geilen Zeit das beste alter hatte!
Sad Sad man has to destroy everything the Flamingo ballroom in Ballymena has now gone the same way where all the worlds greatest artists except the Beatles played
Thanks for posting the before and after! I'm on the foc-uk website and found my way here after searching around. My top end has EXACTLY the same rattle noise and now I know what the problem is. I had the carbs out already last year following a long trip where I believe some dodgy fuel (and the original fuel filter on a 45000km bike) led to blocked pilot jets. It's all been a learning curve and I wasn't aware of the cam chain tensioner being under the carbs. I'll have to whip the carbs off again (they need bench syncing anyway) and I'll get at the tensioner. I just hope the chain doesn't need replacing as I think that's out of my skill level.
Dan Lucas Hello, im not convinced the cam chain itself if the fault going by my own experience. Id say its more to do with the tensioners. I replaced both while i had my fazer and the noise still returned and was advised to reset the tensioner once more to make her quiet again but by that time she was up for sale again. It does seem harmless but rather annoying to listen to.
ajls2 Yes I read that you replaced the chain in further posts. It might come to that as my bike is nearing 50000km. You managed to replace the chain without breaking the engine right? From reading the thread I see people talking about taking the cam lobes out, was that a required part of the job? I've done a few top end rebuilds now but never tackled the bottom end of an engine
60,000 miles on mine. The only things that have caused problems have been cracks in the rubbers that go between the carbs and air box and some sludge from the petrol tank causing the carbs to need cleaning out, tank flushed and a fuel filter fitted. Other than that, just normal service items - bearings, chain and sprockets etc. My fazer has been ridden hard, track dayed, toured to Czech Republic, Italy, Spain. It's been more reliable than my bmw. The best 3 grand I've ever spent
