wanted to remove front sprocket to give a good clean but not got 36mm socket...will have to wait untill tommrow when i can get too my local tool supplier and treat myself to some nice new shiny tools 

Then you will, of course, have a new tab washer there to replace the old one when you take it off and it falls to pieces? Cos it will.......

Ghostbiker,
Pic attached hopefully, if not I'll do it tomorrow on laptop rather than phone.

Whale,
Think it is fzr. If it is an import how could I find out? Chassis number and a Yamaha dealer?

Thanks for replies,

Deffo FZR - my mistake!
 
Like the others, I have never seen that on a Fazer (or any other bike) yet.

The Genuine Works Yamaha tool is to stuff a broom handle down there to lock it all up and then the nut should extract.
 
An air rachet is also a real help.

I am thinking of swapping my K5 1000 for a more upright bike but want the power and agility to still be up there.
 
What sort of mods and results can be achieved with Gen 2 on the output side? Can a R1 motor be flung at it for example?
 
Also, what are the suspension mods on the list to do?
 
Finally, anyone tried a Gen 2 and a B King which is also on my list?

That will be the Hi Level clutch cable that is really cheap but lasts days then...... 
 
Ask me how I know. 
 
Loads of posts about it here somewhere.
 
Buy a Yamaha one - no choice really.

214 miles and 22.01 litres went in - didn't run out either.

Any one got a spare one hanging around for a Gen 1?

Ah! So a discussion a totally different bike on a thread titled CB1300 is relevant??
 
Good - I quite like the Pan European myself.
 
Lets see where that takes us.

OE sprocket is item 33 on attached fiche - it is made with a rubber/plastic insert that deadens the vibes.
 
Can't comment on why Pitts was different but it ain't standard.
 
Non standard is a bit noiser IMO.

PS Lot's of counterfeit "branded" C & S kits about - beware!
 
 

I refer the gentleman to my earlier reply.
 
The fact it is an advisory says it all - it is NOT dangerous, just showing signs of wear/warping.
 
If everyone bought new parts for every MoT advisory we give at our shop then we would we be minted!
 
On the subject of back brake use, when I sold my 1000 with 102,000 miles on it the ORIGINAL rear pads were about half worn....
 
And I do get a bit of a shift on.

There is a slight warp in the disc but not excessive.
 
Leave it until it becomes a MOT fail then replace the disc AND fit new pads with the new disc.
 
EBC is a decent choice.
 
Ride more, worry less.

A pipe is legal if not stamped for "race use only" or "not for road use".
 
It will pass the MoT at the testers descretion if "not appreciably louder than standard".
 
Most pass at our shop.

Water in the fuel maybe? Your problems started after a fill up so could be related.

Turn the tank tap off and drain the carbs at the minimum although I would be sure and drain the tank too.
