FZS600 Fazer / Chain advice

« on: 15 June 2020, 10:16:09 pm »

Hi all. Some advice please. I’ve recently picked up a 1998 fSZ600 with 24K. What would be your thoughts on this chain? I know the manual says 150 mm max. Also there are two points like the one in the below picture where there is clearly a chain link I was expecting there to be only one. There at two points like the one at the rear sprocket both on the same side of the chain. Is this ok and and I correct to presume that they are the connecting points.

FZS600 Fazer / Valve clearances

« on: 11 June 2020, 08:46:27 pm »

Hi all. My first post on here. I’ve just picked up a 1998 FZS600 which a very clean and tidy bike. I’m hoping to build up some experience and have a go at the mechanics on my own.

I’m planning to service the bike starting with the valve clearances. Then onto a fuel filter change, plugs, air filter oil, carb balance and coolant flush to get me started.

I’ve been looking for a comprehensive ‘how to’ guide at completing the valve clearances but I’m struggling to find one. I do have a Haynes manual but would prefer something specific to this task including the prep work etc.

I’d speculate some support on this. Based in Sheffield.

Thanks all.
