I think it is time for new chain and sprockets.I bought the bike with 15000 miles and now done 22000.The bike had a tight spot when I got it and it just got worse, although the sprockets look ok the tight spot is bothering me as it is very loose else were.
I have cleaned and lubed regularly. On inspection I noticed that there are a few o rings missing and believe this to be the problem.
So a new chain set I think is in order,  but what to buy?
O ring? X ring? Heavy duty?  extra heavy duty? Gold ?and what make?
Any idea's and where to buy from as I hear there are a lot fake and cheap Chinese crap out there,and one final question, do you really need the Yamaha silent front sprocket?  is there a difference?

My own fault for being in a rush but the bike fell in my garage & I've broken the fairing above the rear of the headlight.. :'( :o


Any tips on fixing it?...
I'm thinking I can put some fibreglass on the inside for strength & then sand out the split line in order to skim fill it?


Fekking nuisance as I'm busy (& getting very skint) fitting new DID ZVM-X chain, Obigene sprockets & wavy rotors, Koso digital multi-guage, had new Metzler Roadtec 01 rear tyre, been tightenening headache bearings & generally tweaking things..........Grrrrrrr!  :\

Thinking of doing away with the fairing and doing a twin headlight job, so obviously will need mirrors. Of course there are the holes available but are the ones on the bars 8 or 10mm and are they the weird threads. Right hand on one side and left hand on the other.

I should get my Fazer back in a day or two once the engine has been replaced.
But I also need to get the old engine back and I don't want to pay the garage £30 for the privilege, so I need to figure if I can get it in a taxi then carry it in to my house.
Anyone got an idea how much a FZ6 engine would weigh?

i own two fzs1000's one is a 2002 and another 2005. After fitting a new end can to the 2005 bike I noticed three pipes inside of a larger pipe in the collector box after the exup which I took a disliking to so I checked my 2002 bike and it doesn't have them.
To me the 2002 bike feels faster but I've not really taken the new one out properly so this might just be in my head although it seems the mixture screw plugs on the carbs have been drilled out but the slide spring and needle look stock so I don't think the carbs have been played with.


Are these pipes some kind of restriction or something? Would there be any benefit or reason to either leave them in or take them out?

Hey!
Thought I'd update you lads after servicing the Fazer with new seals and 15w front fork oil: What an upgrade!


Just got mine back with new bearings, brakes, drivetrain and other items - and the effect of the shock upgrade was incredible. Thanks for convincing me! =D
((Is it a good sign when you ask the mechanic several times if he spotted anything that needs work, and he says 'neh - bike is almost perfect mate, you don't even need to do the carbs'?))

I no longer own my Gen 1 Fazer  :'( so I am having a garage clear out and have the following bits for sale.
Ohlins shock YA0502 or S46PR1C1S. It has remote preload adjustment and compression and rebound adjustment. It is in very good condition with only minor signs of use. There is no missing paint or rust on the spring or body. The only part that shows any sign of rust is the nuts holding the remote to the mounting bracket. I am looking for £330 plus shipping. Now sold.

Rentec engine bars. Never been fitted. Just minor marks where they were offered up to the bike. I had a set of these fitted to an FJ1200 some years ago and they did a fantastic job of saving the engine and fairing. I am looking for £40 plus shipping. Now sold.

Goodridge braided front brake lines. This is a twin line “race” setup that is new and in the original packaging with all banjos and washers needed. I am looking for £30 plus shipping.

Shipping is for mainland UK and possibly excluding The Highlands and should be no more than £15 for tracked and signed for. I am in Poole and am happy to meet or I am prepared to meet within a radius of 100ish miles for a serious buyer.
