Driven about 500 miles this week, so doing a basic service this weekend.
Almost there - needs a quick road test to settle a few things (clutch cable adjustment & balance carbs) and then its sorted.

I know mine did yesterday on the first ride since finishing it. Took a couple of 10mm open ended with me to adjust the gearlever position. Hope all goes well

Hope all goes well Since I last rode it in September '20, I've fitted progressive fork springs, had a blood clot removed from my leg and given the Thou a bit of a spruce up (new clutch and throttle cables, oil & filters and carbs ultrasonically cleaned), so I'm not sure what to expect.

Hope you’re now fit and well and ready to enjoy your revitalised Fazer. I suppose there’s no way of changing the throttle cables without removing the carbs, as would like to replace mine as a precautionary measure.
Planning on changing them soon, as a precaution. Would really spoil a trip if one let go whilst abroad. Not exactly a roadside job.

Nothing worse than having to spin too many plates, as concentration levels drop a bit I suppose. My wife suffers from arthritis in her hands, so can sympathise on that score. I now have to limit myself to one job at a time, or else nothing will get done properly .
