Chain and sprockets

In the states, this was the upgrade to the FZR600. In other places, this is called an FZR. Either way, many of the components of the US YZF600r fit onto the US FZR600.

Chain and sprockets

Post by scottfzr »

Hi ive got a u.k 1995 fzr600r or yzf600r and i need to change the chain and sprockets. Can i cut the old chain off and split the new chain to fit it? I had a look in my haynes manual and it says about removing the swing arm?!? Would rather not if i dont have too. Thanks in advance! :shocker

Cut the old one, new chain shouldn't be in a loop yet, should come with a rivet master link. Its a pain if you don't have a chain tool, but I've done it by using a c clamp to piss the pins through, then back the link with a sledge and use either an air hammer or regular hammer and progressively obtuse punches to swedge the ends over.
