Thought I'd give you an update - changed two, kept two; cleaned air filter; flushed radiator. Everything is awesome! Working quite well. No more hesitation. If I had to guess, I'd attribute it to the filter. Thanks so much for your help Brian, Matt, Blackfin - I was standing next to my bike...

I think 3rd? It's an '09. Not carbureted. Stock exhaust. I'm afraid I don't know what an EXUP is. My air filter was also dirty, if that's relevant. And it's not at steady speed exactly, but steady throttle - while picking up speed, e.g. from each stop. Do your vacuum-sealed comments still apply...

I started all of todays various maintenance work because of the low rev "hesitation" I've been experiencing. At constant throttle, it tries to get going a couple times before feeling like it "catches" and running smoothly. Furthermore, I have also noticed the difference in engine note - to my...

Awesome!!! Thanks. I can ride again soon :) Now that I got two - these are Iridium code CR9EIX instead of CR9EK that I currently use - should I put them in? (I mentioned the type in case the non-uniformity is significant) And is there anything I should do about the leanness?

Cheers matt - if this picture works it's thanks to you.

Hope this helps. I totally agree - I expect putting em back in to be a total pain - but with Victoria day tomorrow, getting more will take time, and I could only manage to get two from Canadian Tire. I would've quoted both of you but I don't know how, sorry.

Hi, I just finally managed to get my plugs out of my Yamaha FZ1 - a physically impossible task if you have non-screwdriver arms. Here's how they look. Think they all need replacement? Do they tell you anything? I've managed to get just two replacement plugs so far. Would love for them to...

Damn that's a sexy beast! Great pics

There's a ticket for the mud flap? I'm assuming like a fender eliminator? I just installed one.. I thought it was fine??

Also, if it's relevant, there was gunk pretty much everywhere; around the hoses i removed from the cover , around the spark plug areas and the rubbers that go on em.. it goes on

I did follow the instructions mostly, tho not for the pilot screw part- It didn't seem right, left one of the ?butterfly valves maybe?(those circles that pivot forward to create an opening)open partly and when you push down on the spring thing that opens them it kept them uneven so I adjusted...

Done with the carbs, thanks for that Put it all back together but got oil leaking out of the left side of the engine still posted it on ex500.com too incidentally and with a pic (dunno if this'll work but: http://www.ex-500.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=37473.0;attach=36769), someone...

OK so got the new gaskets and spring in, checked float height and they seem within spec (17mm+-2).. Should I just proceed with rebuilding? What does that say about the fuel-in-oil problem? Cheers, the factorypro link was clear and simple

Likely buying a 2009 FZ1 with 7500km, planning on getting it thoroughly checked by a mechanic and certified at the same time. Everythings stock and unchanged including the tires, guy says he dropped it once while not moving but that nothing had changed I couldn't see it How much do you think the...

Haha phew thanks I thought I was just stupid

Okay, I ordered the gaskets still waiting though, i just wanted to know if these problems were separate or all caused by the carb issues?

ok on second thought I don't know how to check float height.. I couldn't understand that particular link

True I poked em and sprayed em Gonna get back on it finally cause the replacement diaphragm just came in

OK i'm a little confused I'm not sure if I'm in a couple threads or in one on ex500.com but basically I'm cleaning em, was waiting for a replacement diaphragm cause there's a rip in one of em, and it just came in I'll check float height and stuff, but would the rip in a diaphragm explain the...

"In that case" - are you referring to because of the one side wet thing only or do you mean that could explain even the leakage and gas in the oil?
