what did you do with your fazer today ?

[tommyardin]

A ride to Bala to drop something off at my friends house. Dry and bright when I left home. Mist and rain in Bala. Took a flask with me expecting to sit by the lake for an hour. Instead, I had 30 minutes sheltering under a tree, drinking my coffee. Four bikers went past heading towards Dolgellau, so I wasn't the only nutter out today. Just finished washing and drying the bike.

I am not a believer in LocTite, but there is one and one only acceptation for me, the infamous front sprocket nut (12mm), along with a new sprocket washer each time it comes off.
LocTite 620 is what Yamaha recommend.
If that bad boy comes undone it can throw you up the road big time if the chain jams up in the engine area  :eek  , whilst fucking the output shaft big time, I'm told it is a complete engine strip down to replace it, or weld the nut to the shaft at the risk of cooking oil seals.
