FZ6 / Fazer / Re: Need new chain and sprockets, what do you recommend?
« on: 21 April 2020, 02:55:22 am »
I replaced the lot last April before a 10,000KM trip to Darwin and then put another 2,500KM on them in December 2019.
The Darwin ride had a lot of constant high speed riding and the December ride was a lot of hard acceleration through mountain twisty roads.
 I found a  DID X Ring Gold chain and JT sprockets kit online for a good price and I'm satisfied with the performance and value.The old OEM set had amazingly managed 42,000KM before they were shot.
I did a lot of research first and found this DID info very helpful https://didchain.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/2020-Chain-Spec-Chart.pdf
JT sprockets have a respected name in the off-road world for value and quality.

Welcome to the forum from another newbie.
My recently purchased FZ1S is also the first bike with more than one cylinder that I've bought in over 40 years. Ridden a lot of my mates multi cylinder bikes though.Been lots of bikes in the stable over the last 40 years and all singles and almost all 2strokes.

G'day Riders
Had a look around for Fazer forums and settled here, as it has the most activity.
Just bought my 2009 FZ1S in very good condition with 43,000 km on the clock.
It has a few accessories and not much more I'll need to add.
Decided on a Fazer FZ1S as it ticked the most boxes on my needs list.
A group trip half way around Australia planned next year, and my regular DP dirt sled not an appealing choice for all that open bitumen riding.

I've been around bikes from some of my earliest childhood memories.
A 3rd generation rider and racer myself, with an international GP racer in the family extended clan.
Done most of my open competition riding on dirt with MX, Dirt Track and a bit of Enduro in the early 80s.
Had a bit of break for life, wife and family then went racing again from early 90s in VMX & Dirt Track.
So I'll be referencing the forum for needed info and if searches fail to deliver, I may posts up some questions.

Thanks in advance to all forum members for contributed info.
