Horrible final drive clunking - Mr Juju - 03-04-13
Hi All, new to Fazer ownership (3 weeks) but haven't smiled soooo much in ages.
I am getting a horrible vibration / clunking through the pegs most noticeable at about 4,000 revs - 40 mph but seems to be there whenever I throttle on.
Don't notice it when I hit the powerbandÂ
Any ideas , I have had a quick look around the forum but can't seem to find anything.
Cheers!
Pete

Check your drive chain adjustment and the front sprocket!

Look at the actual chain as well for links that don't appear to be as horizontal as the others, you may have seized/rusted links.
They tend to sit at a slight angle, and will make the chain a bit lumpy which will be felt through the left foot peg.
Maybe worth laying off the power band until you sort this problem out!

I had the same problem last week and it turned out to be a tight spot in the chain, Im fitting a new chain and cogs tomorrow so ill tell you how it goes

Had this when I first bought my red bike, turned out it needed new chain and sprockets... happened at exactly the same speed / revs that you mentioned as well

I suddenly had 2 links seize up on my chain, even though i cleaned and lubed it regularly, i think the bad weather and salt just takes it's toll over time.
Had a nice new chain and sprockets fitted yesterday, now it feels sweeeeetÂ

Excellent! Thank you all for your helpful and prompt replies.
I will give the chain a thorough examination and see what I can find
