FZS600 Fazer / chain change price and good garage around Berkshire?
« on: 30 May 2015, 09:56:17 pm »
Hi All,
here we go. I have bought nice 2003 Foxeye. Today I have measured the chain and 10 links are 160mm. The manual says anything over 150mm it is time to do a chain change. Not too bad because I will go for some sprocket tooth change too.
I usually do simple stuff like pads change. But I am lazy and if I can find good Yamaha garage around me for a decent price probably I will avoid the whole chain/sprocket change hassle and pay a mechanic to get dirty.
Found this nice article how to change it, but the guy has lost me on regreasing the bearings. I am lazy and do noot like grease. Not a good combination for a chain change scenario.

Do you guys know what would be the time in hours that mechanic will charge for a FSZ600 sprockects and chain change? And how much would be the hourly rate in £££?
Finally if you can recommend me any good garage that you have used around Berkshire, Hampshire, Surrey, Oxfordshire?
thank you
cheers
