awrite folks newbie looking for advice!! I have a 99 plate Fazer which was off the road for a while and when I put it nack on the road it developed this problem!! When accelelarating hard the bike stutters as if the carbs are flooding but the power kicks in after a second or so!

One Christmas Eve, a frenzied young man ran into a pet shop looking for an unusual Christmas gift for his wife. The shop owner suggested a parrot, named Chet, which could sing famous Christmas carols. This seemed like the perfect gift. "How do I get him to sing?" The young man asked, excitedly. "Simply hold a lighted match directly under his feet." was the shop owner's reply. The shop owner held a lighted match under the parrot's left foot. Chet began to sing: "Jingle Bells! Jingle Bells! ..." The shop owner then held another match under the parrot's right foot. Then Chet's tune changed, and the air was filled with: " Silent Night, Holy Night..." The young man was s…

o.k. new here so intro first, im jason, experianced rider with passion for 2 stroke. now down to the problem at hand... After many attempts and differing problems my tzr 125 88 made her first cough last week, build from bits with alot of help from ebay and haynes. BUT... she wont start, problem being no (very little) fuel is getting to the engine (spark plug's dry), so 1st thought CARB, checked float hight n condition, jets, pipes, tap, intake, everything, no visable or apparent problems, its a standard 28mm mikuni, custom air filter (k n N), ov bore 1.0 + piston oversize, single ring (top) she intermitently backfires and pisses fuel out from all 3 over flow pipe…

Hi all, Ive just got my sticky paws on an old '81 XJ550. Not too bad but runs a bit lumpy and there are the inherant clutch noises and the odd oil leak, as you would expect from a bike this age. Im hoping to rebuild her as soon as I can, and modify her in a few ways, prob streetfighter her a bit. I thought I would join this forum as it looks a good place for info, and maybe even sourcing parts. Thanks for having me !
