Yesterday Thursday. Got my Fox-eye Fazer FZS 600 out of garage as its been tucked away for last 10 weeks, bit damp in there, condensation on the corrugated asbestos roofing sheets. Slight amount of mildew on rubber parts and seat. (Like a slight bloom)
Bike was given a full service before being tucked away, all the usual stuff, oil and filter, air filter, drained flushed and refilled cooling system with deionised water and red antifreeze, Drained down and new brake fluid to both brake systems, new plugs. Chain cleaned adjusted and lubed, Washed and polished.
So I proudly swung the garage doors open to reveal my beloved to the world, swung my leg over the beauty, keys in the ignition, choke lever to the start posi........... Fuck it!!! choke cable broke. Back indoors on eBay new cable £9.95 free postage. Jobs a Gudun. Choke cable arrived in less than 22 hours, great service. Fitted new today cable and did a wipe down/clean with a WD rag under the tank and frame work, gave the electrical connections and wiring a blast of WD, tank and seat back on,
[size=78%] tank and seat back off, connect the fuel gauge connector and tank and seat back on again, I know how to do that now. Choke lever to start position one short dab of the starter button and my beloved burst into song. Washed and shampoed her and got the mildew bloom off. When the for a quick blast about 6 miles only as it was starting to get dark (no I'm not scared of the dark, it's the boggeyman) tomorrow I will polish it again and break out the autosol for the peg hangers and and exhaust pipes and can. Will post a piccy or three when polished. Love that Fazer. Why the foc has the font gone smaller?[/size]
