Ohhhhhhhhh........someone else to pinch a map from

Have you done the trimmed flies slappy?........did you have trouble getting the screws out.....any tips?

slappy · « **Reply #5 on:** 10 July 2015, 08:31:29 am »

No I haven't done the flies, as to how best to remove them a little bit of heat and a perfectly fitting screwdriver is the way to go.
One of the things I have done to my FZ1 some people will find strange

, will list my mods after I get map and power figures.

Well, once my boy goes home, I'll need to strip the forks off again and take them back to the shop to fix them as they didn't foccin do it properly in the first place

Have fitted new foot pegs, lowered them by about 27mm so tomorrow is test day. That is as long as the weather is not boiling again 42 degrees here today.So maybe a short run.

You mean pad pins?
They shouldn't need an impact driver at all, in fact i would avoid using one, steel pins in soft metal should come out easily by hand with an allen key.

Try to find somewhere relatively local to get the tyres replaced - urgently!

Grahamm · « **Reply #21 on:** 30 July 2015, 12:05:07 am »

Finish off putting on the new sprockets and chain!

No the bung that covers the pin

Went a bought one and two taps and out

Done 1800 miles to Germany since

Bike now needs a clean and possibly a chain

Take two on tyre fitting - thought sod it, and went for a spin instead today

Dead Eye · « **Reply #24 on:** 31 July 2015, 09:56:40 am »

Planning on balancing the carbs on the thou and possibly replacing the fuel filter (if I can find the one that I think I have somewhere $:\$ ). It's jumping / surging a little at low revs in the mornings when I'm riding to work

Might even get round to cleaning it up a bit before I get nagged on Sunday :P
