first day in the spring festival, riding with my friends. almost full? :lol

can any kind soul let me know the clamp bolt torque settings on the top and bottom yokes.
Ta much.

Been experiencing grinding sounds in the chain department and a quiet knock on corners; thinking it related to the winter road crap and salt (how much lube do I have to throw  at this not year old chain ffs) I figure a clean is in order.




Removed the front cover, loads of crap around the front sprocket so the scoop out begins and suddenly once enough crud is removed to my horror the the sprocket wobbles.




The new wider nut has come off. I found the lock washer down below which had been bent round the nut as required   


but some how flattened off.










I replaced the chain and sprocket in May, torqued correctly (imo) to the spec suggested for wider  nut.

Just wanted to confirm that this is the right spring to be looking at if my gear lever seems a bit sloppy in that it doesn't return to it's proper position as it used to making gear changes a bit less positive - http://www.yamahafz1oa.com/forum/showthr...ter+spring


There was talk of trying to find a stronger spring that would fit or even fitting 2 springs instead of the one, has anyone had any success with either of these options? Any other things I should be looking at to help with the gear lever action? I've greased up the rose joints.

as per title any one lowered them bend in knee hurts

Any ideas on why my dash lights, speedo and rev counter dies while the everything else is still working, this can last for a few second and then comes back on. I can go for miles and no issue but can also go off several times in a few minutes  :rolleyes

No responses from my Wanted post so it looks like a new fairing infill panel for me...


£46!...for a bit of plastic that only cracks 'cos it's made so thin in the first place!

:eek :eek :eek :eek :eek
:'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

gave the bike a bit of a clean after a blast out and noticed that the scottoiler vacuum adapter looked like it wasn't fitting the spigot tightly or was too small.
I contacted scottoiler and it turns out that the fazer gen 1 requires a different fitting to what comes in the standard scottoiler and they tell me that by using the standard fitting ( black) and not the larger ( grey) that it could cause lean running and burn out the valves which has now got me in a bit of a panic because I don't know how long the previous owner had it fitted ( although it looks quite new ) and I am getting some symptoms of lean surging.
Would a dodgy fitting scottoiler vacuum adapter cause the lean surge and is the burnt valves Armageddon warning from scottoiler a possibility ??
Also a warning to anyone with a gen 1 that hasn't got the grey adapter fitted that they should have one.
I'm not going to use it until the correct one arrives from scottoiler ( £8.50 inc post )

Hi


I'm looking to buy a Fabbri double bubble, does anyone have one to sell?


Cheers

does anyone use a gear indicator on their fazers, do you think it helps.
