know this sounds unlikely, but, you did have a piece of wood or something through the rear wheel and against the swingarm, yes?




I did indeed....

Hi I have some parts for sale from an 06 fazer 1000,
2 indicators (rear) with clear lenses and 4 orange lenses and bulbs £30
I am in Ayrshire SW Scotland

Thanks for the reply (despite the dire prediction... :'( )


Stupidly, I never thought to take any pictures yesterday before I buttoned everything back up!


Will take pics on Tuesday/Wednesday when the 12mm nut & washer arrives.


 (I put blue loctite on it yesterday when reinstalling it - The bit of jerk/lash I was feeling rolling on/off throttle is gone {for now...} and I don't want to disturb it in the meantime as the bikes my only transport).


I noticed when I was taking it off/putting it back on that there is 2-3 turns that required the socket but closer in, it gets tight to a point but fairly easily goes loose again. Possibly the inner thread is banjo'd and outer is still good?






Have been trying to fined Unfazed's solution to the problem but everytime I see it linked, the link redirects to the home page!


I think he somehow managed to drill the shaft to take a nut after the sprocket?


I was thinking, if possible - drill the 12mm nut and tap this to take a 3mm grub screw and loctite it all in.


Probably fanciful thinking though, dunno if the nut would take a bore like that without fucking it (weld the outer edge after?) or interfering with the actual nut thread let alone would this be in anyway a string enough solution even if possible.

Hi folks, savage knowledge on here hoping someone can help put my mind at ease or maybe tell me I've bought a horror show😐


Just bought a 2003 Fazer 600 6 days ago - very pleased with it to say the least!


Pretty clean, lowish Kms (40k Kms).


Have done about 800k.s since then, long story boring - it has the old 9mm sprocket nut.


Have had it off just now to see what the thread is like - it appears good to me,doesn't appear to be damaged.


I have the appropriate nut on order (should be here Tuesday 🤞)


Question is - as I was putting the nut back on,nipped it up hand tight.
When I put the socket on it, tightens a tiny bit(with fuck all pressure) then goes loose...


Does this mean I'm in serious trouble or will the upgraded nut cure this/work and actually torque up?


The threads appear perfectly good both on the shaft and the nut itself.
 When this goes bad,is it a case that the nut is gradually wearing the thread as it spins off or would it be noticeabley fucked?


 As in, bare metal/wear marks where once there was thread - am I possibly ok seeing as the thread appears undamaged?


Any pointers,good or bad would be greatly appreciated,it's my only transport so need to get to the bottom of this ASAP!


Have a 200km round trip on Saturday and worried know I know about this, sometimes ignorance is bliss (rode home just over 200km at a fair clip - not a care in the world😅 nursing it the 25km round trip in an out of work now)
