Normal jump - think of it like the bike saying COME ON THEN!!!!
Parifin cheepest and does the job

There's no weight load so the momentum of the wheel is trying to overtake the chain but obviously can't, that's what causes the jumping motion, but it's totally normal and nothing to worry about.
Don't worry about the sprocket cover gasket, it's all rather pointless in my opinion, although you can use silicone or similar if you want but i wouldn't bother.


I've noticed you've asked the same question a couple of times in different posts, it's easier to just ask in one post so we're not all doubling up with replies.

& yes yamaha would change the nut...but you'll prob have to pay for it....but it doesnt cost much.....think you also asked this already?....whether you need to change it is up to you......but i would change it....& is the low price worth the worry if you dont change it and always worrying if it has just come off.


I used wd40 & a toothbrush to clean my chain....& wd40 & old t shirts to clean out inside the sprocket cover gunge.

Enjoy buddy


Everyone does these things...it's tricky trying to learn where everything is.


Along the top are a load of buttons (under the fazer pic)....one of them is "search"...if you get one of the techy kids to keep you on track whilst trying it out then you click on it.....then type in anything to the box......for example.........type in........"speedo sensor 600"...... Click "search" again & it will list all of the different times that anyone has used those words......quite handy although sometimes it takes a while because so much has been said about that subject & you have to go through them all.




For example...ive said it's tricky at the start of this....if you do a search on "tricky" it will prob throw up a few results....i think....surely.....im gonna have to try that now. .


Edit...just tried it and this post comes up as number 6.

Ye that's it


You go back into the 600 forum (if a 600 only question)


New topic


Type name of your new topic ie......why are silver bikes so fast?




Insert some shpeel..ie seeing how so slow blue bikes are has made me realise how fast silver bikes are, any fixes?




& post




Theres a general forum for general bike stuff...although anything seems to go including politics sadly.




& there's a meets section where you can either organise or join in on bike meets and rideouts in your area.




You'll soon be flying around.
