Hi All

Has anyone here had experience of head bearing adjustment on a Gen1 Fazer. It's low mileage 12000

I have stripped and cleaned mine (and have done the swinging arm bearings as well) and purchased the Yamaha adjustment tool.

My question is that having followed the setting procedure I feel that the steering is much looser than it was before. I have just had the bike MOT'd and ask specifically for their opinion on whether they were loose. The bike shop said the bearings were fine.

I am satisfied that they are not so loose that there is any play in the bearing but they do not feel the same as they were before. I have ridden it since and I don't feel that I could apply the same amount of counter steering input as I did before without getting a surprise reaction from the bike.

Is it the case that the head bearings were over tight from the factory? Has anyone else used the Yamaha C spanner for adjustment? The Haynes manual states that the torque wrench is used at 90° to the tool, the Yam manual states the same thing but illustrates the torque wrench in a normal position i.e 90° to the axis of the bearing. Do I just tweak them up a bit until they "feel right"?

Comments please

Thanks

Tim

Hi there, previously advertized these on the Forum, but no joy, so now popped them on Ebay if anyones interested - you might get 'em cheap - starting price of £199;

Can the seals be replaced without specialist help.  I know if in doubt get it done professionally, but I want to weigh up my options.
Brakes were binding, calipers removed - very dirty.  My dad took them to a garage in the industrial estate he works in to get them cleaned.  I plan to putting everything back together and seeing if its fixed the problem.  Bikes got 11k on it and it sat for over a year 2011-2012. 

I had thought about changing the seals as per lack of history.  Need a closer look when I get them back.


Also wanted to asked a questions about brake lines on wemoto.

Race set only has 2 lines and a double banjo bolt at the lever.  Standard being the normal set up.

Was going to go for the race ones as there cheaper (always a good incentive) but wanted to know if anyone else has done this, is it better having the race lines, I read that the t peice in the 3 line kit can make bleeding abit difficult.

Any help would be great.

Cheers
