FZS600 Fazer / Radiator fan
« on: 14 June 2020, 05:27:56 pm »
Hi,
So my search on the question did not provide me with an answer. I know that Gen1 Fazer radiator fan doesn't come on very often, not while idling on driveway anyway. But how do I check if everything is fine? Warm weather in and I'm a bit worried it may overheat if fan doesn't come on when needed. I don't think I've ever seen it come on.
I do know fan is OK as I plugged it to battery and it works. Is there a way to check if temp sensor turns it on when needed?
Thanks
Greg

FZS600 Fazer / New chain and sprocket?
« on: 21 April 2020, 08:13:29 pm »
Hi,
Need advice on the subject. I think the chain on my Fazer is an original one as it got DID 50VN7 stamped on the link. Bike has done 17k miles.I'm pretty sure chain needs changning. It's lost some o-rings and mesures more than 152mm between 10 links (manual says max is 150mm).Front sprocket has plastic/rubber bits missing all over but the teeth are OK, that probably needs changing as well.Rear looks fine, no excessive wear to teeth.
Quesion is, will new 530 chain fit properly on original sprocket? Is this 50NV7 different size or is it just called different due to age? I can't seem to find any info on it.

FZS600 Fazer / Broken exhaust stud
« on: 01 April 2020, 10:04:33 pm »
Hi.
I had to remove my ehaust due to holes in the collector under the engine. I've been soaking the studs in plusgas for 2 weeks while still riding to work every day. Managed to get 7 nuts off without any issues. Not so lucky with the last one. Snapped with stud sticking out from the head, so I bought a set of stud extractors. They look like sockets and grab the stud when you turn.
Snapped flush with the head now.
Tried drilling - drill slipped and went sideways. just caught the head. No major damage but I can't start drilling straight now with engine in he frame.
So last option is to try and weld a nut to it and try screwing it out. I'll have to ask my neighbour who has a welder but with this social distancing it's a bit awkward.
Last question is:It's 4th stud from the left, right in the centre of the head. What will happen if I just bolt the exhaust without it? I have new copper gaskets so will it squash them and seal with one nut missing? I really don't fancy removing the head to get this done.
Thanks
