Ordered the 12mm mainshaft nut and tabwasher from the Yamaha dealer in Abergele yesterday, they weren't aware of the 9mm nut problem, so he said but seeing as it was only £2.99. plus postage, i didn't push the issue.
So, on inspection of the chain and sprockets (the nut was tight), it seems a new set is needed, the front sprocket is starting to hook a touch and besides, the bike had been stood for quite a while before i bought it, the chain looked like it had just been oiled after a cursory clean off of the rust i would imagine.
Anyway, any opinions on who is the best supplier of the kit on ebay?, i'm aware that some people have had issues with some suppliers, so if anyone can offer a good supplier please?
I'm also thinking of maybe going up a tooth or so on the front sprocket, anyone done this?

G ; )

I have lost the top cap of my water expansion tank , are they available from Yam dealers , or does have one they are prepared to post.

hi all

  i have the dreaded head shake at 30-55 mph, bought the fazer recently with a worn front tyre (battle axe) one side the right was worn more then the other checked fork oil and it seemed to have different oil in each fork leg, anyway new tyre, front bearings changed fork oil to 15w and shes still shaking,  so just to be safe i am goning to fit a steering damper but cant find any info on them, fitting kits ect.
  anyone help me out looking at buying a budget one but cant figure out where they fit.
cheers neil2do..............

Have just bought 2002 version with 30k on the clock, every thing works well very pleased apart from rattle.  Have read on the forum that this seems to be a Fazer issue ?      I am going to sync the carbs and remove and check cam chain tensioner as a starting point.  Is there an idiots guide to removing cam chain tensioner and what should i look out for.  Thanks in advance 

Is it just me but is the site running slowly?? I am on the CBF1000.com site and the Z1000SX sites a lot and they run a lot faster than this one why????

Been trying about 6 times to put up a witty response to one of Kosmic's posts. 403 errors. Arrgh!!

picked this bike up for the missus after the nicked burnt out scooter , just taken it out for a spin and it wont get past 55 mph seems to be stuttering when getting upto this this speed its suppose to go upto nearly 70mph so got a new spark plug coming what else could be wrong ??

Any good? Or what other pads work well on the Fazer?

Has any gone up two teeth on the rear and down one teeth on the front?

If so will the standard chain length fit or will I have to add links?

Cheers
