So I'm trundling down a hill into Hampstead Heath when all of a sudden I'm free wheeling like I'm in neutral. Straight away I knew what had happened, thrown the front sprocket, just like my last bike.

Called Carol Nash breakdown, only to find the bastards had not continued my breakdown cover or bothered to tell me. Long story short I paid SOS Motorcycles to get me home. Carol Nash = bunch of cunts who should be impaled on very large rusty skewers, SOS = bloody brilliant, an hour in the cab chatting with a proper old biker eased the pain a bit.

Anyway, got home, pulled the sprocket cover and, no nut or washer, no sign of either, no broken bits or anything. The cover goes right under the sprocket and bolts onto the gearbox casing, so I can't see how nut/washer could have escaped. I can only conclude that the cretin who did the last sprocket change didn't put the nut back on, how can anyone be that thick!

So where's a good place to get a sprocket nut for a 2010 FZ1S Fazer?

The bit I don't understand is, if you weld the sprocket on then surely you should remove the retainer so the weld is actually on the sprocket.

A new nut and washer from Fowlers (thanks Nobby) sorted it. Wasn't even difficult to fit. Still a total mystery as to why/how it was missing in the first place. Confused

There's a one word explanation for that.

Bodyguard.
