chain

It's dirty I know and I know! So I've been using Dupoint Chainwax without any dust collective issue. It just came upon once the shop changed my rear tire and put some wax on my chain...it was sticky white chain lube and totally different what Dupoint wax I was using. After 500 miles, I...

Hi Guys :welcome: Went to adjust my chain tonight as it seemed a bit loose and guess what? The chain side axle nut is gone! Being I need my bike for tomorrow just a few quick questions. 1) I noticed the chain being "loose" for about a week and have been riding my bike all over but can't be...

Rode my 07 fz6 last week. Lubed the chain over the weekend and started it a couple of times. Went to ride it today and it cranked but would not fire up. I ended up having to take another bike. Sent a text to the old lady 30 min later and asked her to try to start the bike and it fired up right...

Hi guys, I just installed a JT 17-tooth front sprocket (what blasphemy) in hopes of lowering my RPMs on the highway as that's where I'm mainly on. Everything's real kosher, but my FZ seems to have developed a weird vibe. In 4th gear, travelling between 65-75 km/h, the bike develops a...

A friend of mine works at the Hutchinson factory. They produce, O-rings for all kind of uses, from water tap to aerospace, you name it. I ask him about the chain O-rings and the tolerance they have to products like WD40, kerosene etc. The answer: The O-rings made for a certain application may...

Hey guys haven't posted in a while because I've had brilliant problem free riding But today I went to adjust my chain because I had this weird wooing sound accelortating and at about 20mph I suspected it was the chain being a little loose so I set off adjusting the chain did the one side (chain...

I adjusted my chain and all seems right until i move my back wheel and the chain seems to too tight....move the wheel some more and it is loose again. Wats up with this...chain or sprocket or both??

I adjusted my chain yesterday since purchasing it from the previous owner. The chain slack was able to hit the bottom of the rubber swing arm chain guide, so I didn't bother to measure the slack. I adjusted it using the tick marks near the aluminum chain adjuster block. I then measured and it...

Hey all I have a quick question for you all. I am in need of replacing my chain and sprockets and I have seen that D.I.D have both an upgrade and extreme upgrade chain and sprocket kit for the Fazer. My question is what are the differences? I cannot seem to find anything other than longevity...

I'm just curious how you guys make sure your bike is there for you in the morning. I have a Kryptonite chain, but i can only get it though the front wheel, as the frame is too tight to loop a chain though it. Is there a better location to chain the bike? I also have a Xena brake lock on...

I just ordered a JT Sprockets JTF580.15 15T Steel Front Sprocket. My question is do I need a new chain and new rear sprocket as well? Is the stock chain a 530 or 520? I think that the sprocket I ordered is designed for the stock chain, but I'm not sure. Any input is appreciated.

hi i am just after purchasing a chain wrench as my local diy store only had the oil wrench for a ratchet in large sizes to fit a car. i bought the chain wrench as an alternative. in my haynes manuel it says not to use a chain wrench as it will damage the new oil filter. what is your view on...

After scraping the bugs off the FZ from our ride yesterday I saw the chains contact pattern is not ideal. (Edit: title should say Contact - not Wear). I thought I'd had the rear tires alignment proper but according to the contact pattern on the chain that may not be the case. Because the...

Just wanted to post that after scouring the forums for the proper way to tension the chain, I found out that I had been improperly tensioning my chain since I bought the bike in April. I thought that the noise (whine) coming from the bike when I eased off the throttle with the engine still in...

Hey, Can anyone please tell me what is the recommended size of 07' FZ6 chain (530?/520?). And also the recommended teeth in rear and front sprockets? thanks. harel

I decided to get a 530 48T rear sprocket to give a little umph. My only question I haven't found specifically answered is, Do I need a longer or shorter chain If I just go up 2 teeth in the rear only? I am buying a sprocket for a 530 chain, I think like stock, with 2 more teeth than stock. I...

I am looking to change my chain and both sprockets on my bike. I want to get a better launch off the line (top end speed absolutely does not matter to me, I don't need 140+ speeds at this point in my life lol) so I was wondering if there are any "all in one" kits out there that I could purchase...

When I first bought the FZ6, I also bought whatever can of chain lube was at the dealership, which happened to be the Maxima chain wax. For about 2,000 miles I have used this to lube my chain at 250-300 mile intervals. When I first applied the Maxima to the chain, it was very watery and brown...

For the Readers Digest version, see the bolded section :D So I followed what the manual said to do and got my chain nice and snug. The problem is I can't get the axle nuts tight without throwing off the alignment. Using the stock tools, I put one wrench on the right to hold the axle nut, then...
