FZS600 Fazer / 2 Quick questions regarding chain adjustment
« on: 28 February 2012, 06:55:16 pm »
What size socket/spanner fits the rear axle nut?
 
Check slack on side stand as in Haynes and service guide, normal method!
OR - below taken from Owners manual:
 
To check the drive chain slack
 
1. Place the motorcycle on the centerstand.
 
2. Shift the transmission into the neutral position.
 
3. Spin the rear wheel several times to locate the tightest portion of the drive chain.
 
[font=]4. Measure the drive chain slack as shown [/font]

FZS600 Fazer / Withdrawl symptoms
« on: 12 February 2012, 03:50:29 pm »
It's been 9 days now since the hose split on the Fazer, originally told replacement would be in by end of last week but have now been told it's on back order with Yamaha UK and will hopefully be in middle of this week.   Bloody hope so because I'm getting rather pissed off now!!!!!
Could use the Kawasaki Versys 650 I also own, but I've laid it up for winter to keep it away from all the crap they keep spreading on the roads and don't want to use it for comute to work.  That's why I brought the Fazer!
Looks like I'm using the car again for another week, leaving early, sitting in queues, can't wait!  Going seriously cold turkey being away from 2 wheels!  :wall Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FZS600 Fazer / Brake Squeal!
« on: 02 February 2012, 08:24:27 am »
Had the Fazer (2001 600) about 4 or 5 weeks now and absolutely loving it! Brought as a second bike for commuting during winter months to save my Kwaka 650 Versys but enjoying it more than I ever thought I would! :D
Only one issue at moment, the front brake has started squealing when applied gently to control speed in traffic and stopping at low speed, doesn't happen under normal braking. To say it's driving me mad is a bit of an understatement! I've tried giving the disc, pads and calipers a good clean by spraying with brake cleaner and hosing off but it's still there, I seem to remember from my days of fiddling with cars ( :o ) that this could be caused by an anti-squeal shim which always seemed a bit ironic?!?
Any thoughts or advice most appreciated, help save my sanity. PLEASE!! :'(
