Motorcycle Forum / Country Specific / UK Group / August 2007ZZR 600 losing 2 cylinders - update
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.

I stopped paying much attention to electrics when points vanished, but have you checked all of the electrical connections to do with the ignition circuit? Presumably there are still wires attached to the coils? It could be something as minor as a dodgy earth connection somewhere. > 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? It would help to know if it was a specific pair failing. > Once I've determined which cylinders are not firing I'll swap the > coils over and see if the fault > follows the coils. That's the chappy. Don't forget - if swapping the coils works it might only be that you made a better connection to one or the other when you swapped them.

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.

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. Signaturesteve auvache A Bloo one with built in safety features > Well now you are just splitting hairs aren't you.

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

Grip them lightly. The hot ones are f.cking hot. > Once I've determined which cylinders are not firing I'll swap the > coils over and see if the fault > follows the coils. Sounds like an idea.
