After hearing all the scarey stories about Fazers with failing sprocket nuts I thought I'd go check mine just in case. I would have just gone ahead with it as I have done with other bikes, but I had a Haynes manual at hand so thought I'd have a look at that first.
Anyway, it said that there is a gasket that needs replacing if you take the sprocket cover off - is this correct? On previous bikes, it's just been a matter of removing the cover, usually plastic, and that's it. All I want to do is check the sprocket nut and shaft - do I need to buy a gasket beforehand or am I getting confused?
Thanks!
