Excitedly started on the job to replace chain and sprockets on my 04 gen 1 (beats Xmas shopping) and I can't even get the front sprocket nut off! Following all the Haynes guidance such as put in gear and put rear brake on hard but it won't budge. Sprayed it with WD40 and gave it a few gentle knocks with a hammer.


Did anyone face this and if so how did you overcome it?


I need help quick before I have to go back in the house.


Cheers
Ian


PS Assume it is anti-clockwise to remove

Looked at a Steel end Can example at J&S Northwich yesterday, the quality looked good.  For the owners who have invested in one have there been any real problems or disappointments, did it fit OK?

as subject line, i am after some of the sw motech mirror extenders for an 08 fz1s .

if anyone has some they want to shift on, give me a text or email

cheers ian.   

merry christmas to all who view!!!!!

Thought i was getting weaker with age. I was having difficulty getting my gen 1 on the centre stand, after about a month of struggling i realised that the R1 forks were the problem, with the front end sitting 20mm lower than stock it makes it much harder to pull the bike back on to the stand. Problem solved by rolling the front wheel on to a 20mm thick piece of wood prior to attempting the act. Luckily i always use the sidestand when out of the garage.
On a different subject, and i realise this will be heresy to some foccers, i have been looking at the frame and thinking it looks a bit archaic. Got to wondering what alloy beam frame i could fit, guess an R1 would fit everything else on the bike. As one of my friends pointed out "why don't you just buy an R1 take the fairing off and put some high bars on" it's got me thinking.     

Hello all, merry xmas to you or bah humbug whatever yer preference!! Bin ridin me Gold fazer 600 since a passed me test in March and lovin it!! I try and get out in all weathers tho still not that confident in the wet!! What tyres people usin? Mine currently has BT21 rear and either 14/17 on the front can't remember which. Once Xmas is out the way gonna be lookin at renewing them so just wondering the most common for all weather riding??

Hi everyone, just saying hello, put a deposit down on a very very tidy 03 FZS600 S in blue, did my DAS on one and had no problems riding around all day so thought it a good idea to have one as a first big bike. Pick it up in the new year, can't wait. Anyway Merry Christmas and ride safe. Tony

is there a different clutch lever i can use , ie shorter reach or ideally an adjustable one like the front brake

what tests do they have to take?  in what order?  how many lessons starting from scratch? would you recommend an intensive course?
ta very much 

Just wanted to say Hi to you all!

Mmmmmm from me to me!  :rollin Bought a PCV, Autotune and quick shifter for my FZ1 and install. What a difference! Bike is very smooth, great acceleration, throttle control and and and. Quick shifter is really fun to use and definately does the "trick" when pulling off from a stand still! Should have done this years ago!
