Title: Headstock bearing wrench
Post by: His Dudeness on 09 July 2013, 09:07:37 pm: Does anyone know of a cheaper alternative to Yamaha's headstock bearing wrench? 9089001403
Seems a bit dear for what it is.

It says it does a 40mm nut. Could someone please measure their steering stem nut? I won't get a chance to check mine for at least a week :(

It is 40mm dia. Out of interest the slots are 6.5mm wide and 2.5mm deep. Looks like that tool should do it.

No that's not what I was suggesting. This is what it looks like and only 8 quid more. Means you can torque it up properly. Drop him a message and ask if he does one for the Fazer. If not he will probably make you one for FREE if you send him the nut. That's how I got mine for my Daytona 675.

Post by: His Dudeness on 11 July 2013, 11:22:29 am: The socket style one is probably handier but there is a slot in the back of the one I stuck up for a 1/2" wrench so you use it with a torque wrench too. Looks similar to the yamaha one in the part number
