ZZR 600 losing 2 cylinders - update

Discussion in 'UK Motorcycles' started by Miles Reading, Aug 8, 2007.

  1. Well I bypassed the sidestand switch and it's still losing 2
    cylinders, opening the fuel tank didnt
    resolve it either so its not the sidestand switch or the tank
    breathers. Boo, today is a really nice
    day to be on the bike.

    Anyone got any ideas? I'm thinking plugs/caps/leads or a coil breaking
    down possibly?

    I was thinking of seeing which of the downpipes pipes on the bike are
    cooler than the others so I can narrow it down to a pair of cylinders,
    anyone else got any tips?

    Once I've determined which cylinders are not firing I'll swap the
    coils over and see if the fault
    follows the coils.

    Cheers

    Aye. Piss on the headers.

  5. That is headerist that is. What about the thumper riders, are they
    excluded merely because they have headers in the singular? It is fine
    for you lot who have more headers than brain cells but there are those
    who choose to lead a comparatively header free existence and your
    attitude towards them is intolerable, your sort should be hunged.
    Except that hunging is too good for you. At the very least you should
    have you headers taken away and given to those deserving poor who need
    them more than you do and see how you like that. Typical of your sort
    that sort of behaviour is. "oh look at me, I have got more headers than
    you". Well don't you worry I know who you are and I shall be watching
    you very, very carefully from now on.

    If a thumper rider has a coil problem - well, that's it, innit? No
    running on two out of four, as in the OP, you silly old fart.

  7. Well now you are just splitting hairs aren't you. And when was the last
    time you ever heard of a thumper doing anything other than working
    exactly as intended? Eh? Even Timo at close range couldn't stop one of
    those from working.

    Isn't that exactly what TOG mentioned n your previous thread?
    Grip them lightly. The hot ones are FUCKING hot.
    Sounds like an idea.

  11. I think not Fritz. We, the British Working Class, have dealt with your
    Hunnish ways before. We are not afraid.

    As Princess Lear might have said in Omlette Act II seen V: "Is this a
    gauntlet I see before me?"

    But do you have two independent ignition systems like those folk that
    keep all their wheels off the ground?

    That can't be right. Princess Lear would have *known* what a gauntlet was.
    Han Solo or Chewie on the other hand....
