what did you do with your fazer today ?

[dazza]

Foc.....yep, your right there dazza, every now and again shit happens    :\ .........just out of curiosity how old  was the chain ?

on the bright side......not long now till the new bike arrives  :thumbup

another answer to your problem, how are you with the spanners, how about buying just the engine cases off ebay/breakers and swapping over yourself ?

Hello Paul, yes, got to take it on the chin haven't I. Can't really say that I'm that gutted, Had nearly 5 years of reasonably trouble free biking from her and Like you say, less than a month now and I will have my new bike. This will give me a little project to tinker with.
It's ironic as I had just left my brother after he rode it to try out the new bars and I had mentioned that the chain and sprockets were approaching 30k and the chain had a very noticeable tightspot. Replacing them was next on my list, so I was aware. :\
As for spannering, pretty confident with most things but can't say that I've ever stripped down and rebuilt  a four stroke engine....How hard can it be ?  :lol
After Nickodemons comment about his mate repairing his crankcase, Exupnut may have a point with going down the repairing road. we'll see.
And Harry, you may call it misbehaving but when no one else is about, I call it having fun
