G'Day fellow FZ riders. My 1st post is a question
I dropped my bike last sunday. Due to the Lock nut on the drive sprocket coming loose and falling off.
Lucky for my daughter and I it was a slow speed left hander, Top of Mac pass NSW. chain wrapped around swingarm and rear sprocket locking back wheel and highsiding us at about 45k's, low speed high impact.
My question is. Has anybody had this happen or heard of it.
Ive since been told by a mate who owned an FZR600 he had this happed twice. and it may be more comon than we realise.
The lock nut is not usually in my check list.
Ive been racing for a rew years and never had this happen befor.
Changing sprockets for diffrent tracks you notice things like that!.
Oh and i am looking for a new engine case. The chain took a peice out of this one
Regards Tony.
