Hi, I'm new to the site and new to owning a Fazer.

Bought my 98 FZS600 from ebay with approx 38k on the clock in June and have since decided to change the chain and sprockets due to a slightly iffy looking link. Popped the sprocket cover off and the washer is ripped in half, as in the photo above, the nut is wobbling around loose and the drive shaft itself is stripped bare. The inside of the sprocket cover is banged up pretty bad... If I manage to get Yamaha to pay for anything at all, what's the chance of them replacing all the damaged bits - there has been no warranty work done on this bike at all - I checked with a dealer who denied there were any outstanding campaigns on this model.

Did anyone ever dig out that "Inspection Notice" in the end? I'm going to give Yam a call tomorrow, but would like to be fore-armed.

Cheers!

I have been looking at getting Triumph T1050, 800, or speed triple, I thought lets just see what other bikes are out there b4 commiting, I own a VFR800 pre vtec.

I did a search saw a pic of a naked FZ1-N and i loved the look of it, found a "pre-registered" 2010 example, 0 miles, new registration, 24 mnth warrenty, 0% finance
for £ 6500, so i brought it.   

Delivery in a couple of weeks, like a child all over again!!!  (51).

I will be looking for, gel seat, screen, protectors and tail tidy. for starters...any advice, suggestions, greatly recieved.

Started to notice a high pitched whirry whine eminated from the front of my commuter FZS6. When it first started I wondered if it was some kind of wind effect as it starts from about 50mph onwards but it's getting worse and is deffo related to road speeds and i'm 90% sure it's the front.

So, I expect it to be the bearings. I'll inspect when I get a chance on the weekend and will attempt to replace them. Bike is on 56k now and has had many winters thrown at it so not surprised the bearings need replacing. The rear's went in April and they were a B****** to change and i'm expecting the front to be the same/worse.

Any magic tips to help? I've not removed the front wheel before but will go for the plank of wood and a car jack on the downpipes option methinks  :rolleyes

Mk1 FZS600  rev counter doesn't always shows the revs, it shows 3k, then the revs, then 0k.


I've had the engine out to drill out an exhaust stud and do a bit of painting, so I'm guessing I've not reconnected a wire, or pinched something. I can't find anything obvious though, and can't find anything in the manual. Can anyone help???

Bar is open, what are you having?

Since the Duck Billed Platypus lays eggs and also gives milk, scientists have determined that it is one of the few animals that can make its own custard.

It has been revealed that Police marksmen did have to open fire at the Dale Farm eviction.

Apparently they won a goldfish a teddy bear and a plastic inflatable hammer.
