Hi, i have a 2003 fazer 6, had it 2 years as a summer commuter.
I took it to castle combe bikesafe day yesterday and it lost all drive after a few laps (it was my first time on a track and i wasnt pushing it very hard)
its currently in the garage waiting for the mechanics to come back after the bank holiday but im pretty sure this sprocket nut is the cause of the problem, it has happened to my dad's fazer 6 (2002) twice! once on a motorway with a lorry up his backside and my mum pillion!!
my bike has got 21k miles on it, i havent changed the chain but i dont know if its original or not.
my dad has told me about an aftermarket kit which has a thicker nut or washer number 90891-10124
if i go into a Yam dealer will they supply it at a subsidised cost since it seems to be a design fault?
thanks v much
