FYI 15T front 48T rear is standard for all 98 to 03 model FZS600s
i got the new upgraded nut and retaining washer on ebay and it was only a couple of day delivery
Finally got round to doing the twin headlight mod using the write up on here, it looks a lot better now its not a cyclops (even if one is blue and one is yellow) . Not anticipating any MOT problems but I've put a fuse in so that I can disconnect for a re-test if needs be. Also, having experimented with the BT21s down at 32/36 psi for a few weeks, iv gone back up to 36/40. Feels immediately better, it's like a different bike!New mirrors for the next job, I'm sick of looking at my elbows. Also need chain and sprockets soon but trying to put that off for another few months...
Cheers for those links, I've saved them for when the time comes. This is the one I'd been looking at: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/400676831619. The chain has stretched past the limit they quote in the manual but still doesn't pull off the sprocket teeth very much at all, so I'm hoping to keep it going a bit longer. Need to keep an eye on the front sprocket wear as well though.Would be a nice job for spring / summer when it's warmer /lighter , and I can take the opportunity to regrease swingarm bearings at the same time
repainted front forks with new seals fitted new pads all round new wheels fitted with new bearings fresh rubberjust a carb balance to do and all sorted
always change sprockets as a pair
