FZS600 Fazer / Sproket Wobble
« on: 17 May 2018, 09:52:54 am »
Morning All,

I've reassembled the rear wheel and noticed the sprocket is wobbling which is causing the chain to judder. All the bearings are new as is the sprocket. I've checked and the sprocket is flat. I've noticed that the sprocket carrier wobbles slightly on the axle so I stripped everything back down and the collars wobble slightly on the axle. So the question is, is the play on the collars normal or does this suggest that the axle is worn or the collars or both? The bike has only done 17,000 miles but has been stood for a couple of years. The cush rubbers seem in good condition and I don't believe they would take up the play if I replaced them but I could be wrong. Any thoughts?

Thanks

Paul

FZS600 Fazer / Restoraion
« on: 11 September 2013, 01:33:09 pm »
Hi All,
Thought I best introduce myself as no doubt I will be asking for some help before too long. I'm not sure how I ended up in this position but I have effectively been given my Uncle's Fazer. It's a 2001 FZS600 with 16k on the clock. Before you all start calling me lucky it has a bit of a sting in tail. He has owned the bike for around ten years but it hasn't moved for more than a year; in itself this wouldn't be a problem except it was parked outside his house which is 20yds from the beach in Brighton. It's fair to say its seen better days. A breaker offered him £150 but I hate to see things scrapped so I've been talked into a full restoration. I've done classic cars before but not bikes so should be interesting.
I'll try and post some pictures later, I've started tearing it down so the frame can be powder coated, the engine is out and looks shocking; to be honest I can't believe it still ran but after a year of standing a bit of fresh petrol and a charged battery and it fired up first time!
I'll keep you posted.
Thanks
Paul
