Where has me nut post gone then !!

[Dead Eye]

I would wager that you would have just as much trouble finding the answer to that question for any specific year of Fazer. There are too few active members on the forum who have had the bike from new - there's probably a handful on the site of the some 7,000+ Fazers registered in the UK

[fazersharp]

Good point
Although they dont have to have it from new, just the knowlege that the sprockets are origional would do. I know still a tall order as most that age have had new ones by now.

Have you tried contacting Yamaha UK for an answer (can't remember if you did or not)? Might be worth it, if they're willing to give an open opinion.

01932 358000 (switchboard - ask for technical: wow, just remembered that no.  (checked it just in case) off the top of my head from last using it about 5 years ago!)

Mine is a 99 though its on the original sprockets. I get the wheels back today after having new tyres fitted so will swap the nut later today and also measure the shaft. Anyone know the correct torque for the modified nut? Standard torque is 70Nm but I've seen on here 90Nm but that might be too much if the shaft threads are shallow in the nut.

A few people have gone the specified 90Nm, and a few others stopped at 80Nm including myself, the choice is yours!!

[Dead Eye]

Mine is up at 90Nm... just for the sake of posting

I know it's not a fazer but my lads yzf750 1995 just stripped it nut the other day, so I would suspect a lot if not all yamaha 9mm nuts are suspect.

Perhaps I should start a newthread--- ive just looked at my torque wrench and it only goes up to 60nm
So
Recomend me a torque wrench please

Draper 1/2" Torque Wrench - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Draper-30357-Mic...que+wrench

Have had two of these (first one died in a garage fire) and two Silverline 1/2" ones as well - the first Silverline sheared the head off but was replaced under warranty. Most heavy duty tools I tend to go for a good name and that to me is Draper

It was my local yamaha garage
I rang my local yam dealer and as expect (from reading this forum) they knew nothing about it. Thanks to you guys I was armed with the service note 2005-12a which the chap on the phone went and got and then said he would ring Yamaha and call me back. He did and gave Yamaha my reg number and they came back to him and said that my bike and quoted my chassis number and engine number I guess from the reg is not an affected model.
So no I have not done so directly but thanks for the number I will

[fazersharp]

Thanks dead eye I will look into that one
My current one is a halfords professional which I have had for about 12 years
Any others anyone ?

[Dead Eye]

Halfords Advanced kit is usually pretty damn good - is it a 3/8" drive? That would explain the max of 60Nm

I have a 1/4" drive one as well to fill in the gaps between 5Nm and 30Nm that my 1/2" Draper won't cover

[fazersharp]

yup 3/8    8-60nm
The halfords 40-200 is £74 ouch

[TonyW]

Nut job done.    The original nut wasn't loose but wasn't as tight as I was expecting. I took the time to measure the shaft thread, it was 17.9mm so chucked on some bearing retainer and the new nut went on at 80Nm.

Yeah, good quality, but extremely expensive as well

I think the Draper one I linked is about £30?

[fazersharp]

Apart from the sprok nut and the rear wheel to take drive chain slack (i think 114nm ) what else am I going to need over 60 nm for. So £75 is a lot for those 2 jobs, but is there any poing in paying low price for such an item when the whole point is to be spot on with the torque, I do fancy the draper one or teng from screwfix which is inbetween the two

[Dead Eye]

I agree, £74 is a lot of money and I certainly wouldn't buy it. However, they do come in handy as you probably know from your 3/8" one

[Buzz]

Can get the same wrench for 25 notes on Ebay, I'm deffo getting one.

EDIT: - Just seen that the Bandit recommended settings for the front sprocket is 115! 

EDIT2: - I've just bought one.

[Ebme Geek]

I have the Draper one, and am happy with it

[fazersharp]

Been looking at torques and there are only 3 places I am ever going to go over my 60nm so think I will be going for a olwer cost one, thinking if they are not as acurate then no matter as anything 80 90 120nm aint ognna break if its a bit tighter, - unlike somthing that needs to be 20nm.
So ive got my new nut and ys it has an extra 3 threads but look at my picture as I have hardly any threads left showing and what is there tapers so wont be doing anything so by a bigger nut Im not gaining anything.

Not measured my shaft yet but tony w says his 98 is 17.9, could that be the reason 98s are ok as we 98s have thicker shafts than everyone else
Gonna start a new thread
"How thick is your shaft"
