Headstock bearing wrench

[His Dudeness]

Does anyone know of a cheaper alternative to Yamaha's headstock bearing wrench? 9089001403
Seems a bit dear for what it is.

There's a guy on eBay who sells these. Got one for my Suzuki a couple of years ago. His user name name might be something like old school suzuki, but just do a search for a headstock tool and I'm sure you'll find him.

I had a look there ruby and I spotted this one

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

Screwdriver and hammer has always worked for me, although obviously you can't buy adjustable torque hammers!

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.

Great. Thanks for checking limax

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

I cut down an old Hagon rear shock  C spanner and cut a square holein it to fit the 3/8 drive. Works great.
