The front sprocket nut and washer saga

[Jazz999]

That's the one but wow! Expensive! The kit from fowlers was £4.74 plus vat,  gasket about £2,delivery first class £3.50 odd.

You did ask for the part number i stated earlier didn't you?
That sounds too cheap, especially for Fowlers?

[Jazz999]

Yep, quoted that part number - checked on live chat first then rang a little while later to order. He confirmed it was the lock washer AND nut kit.

I thought i paid about a tenner for mine but maybe it was the bloody postage that bumped it up too  :rolleyes

[Jazz999]

Prob! I was pretty happy with the cost seeing as it's piece of mind and will fix a potentially expensive breakdown if it does go big style!
This is why forums like this are invaluable IMO as otherwise I would have been blissfully unaware - So Kudos to all Foccers out there who keep each other Foccing!

About a mile as the crow flies west of the Airport.
Where abouts  are you?

Ballinhassig area so? I'm in the City...southside. I work on the Airport Road so you might see my blue Fazer with white wheels floating about!

Fowlers and Wemoto are normally very quick with their postage, i think they simply understand that when you order a part you basically would like it 'yesterday' 

[Jazz999]

Yeah definitely - Wemoto have been quick as well in the past for me too, both recommended. Chap on the phone at Fowlers was very good - scarily polite in truth!

Some people on here from much older posts have tried but their dealers have denied all knowledge of any known problem, so for the sake of a tenner they've just bought it and got it sorted for peace of mind.

Out of interest how did you get in touch with Yamaha? As in what phone number did you ring?

Thanks, Chris

Apologies for reviving a" thread from the dead" but this issue is still arising.
Mechanic mate of mine had an 03 Fazer 600 in last week for a new chain and sprockets,took the front sprocket cover off and there was no retaining or washer to be found! He knows the problem so the bike was checked before the modded part was ordered but obviously there are still bikes "out there" in a potentially dangerous condition.

Just had the same problem myself. My chain had a few tight spots from previous owner and I have decided to change the chain and sprockets even though there was plenty of meat left. Having read this thread, I decided to check to see if I had the old nut or new modified nut......I have NO NUTS!! Not a good position for a guy!!

Anyway, thanks to this thread being revived, it probably have saved my life or my body from serious injury.
