Braved strong gusts of wind and mucho tree debris whizzing around me head to pop down to H's café, Dorchester, where I got a very good look at a luuuuurvley pair!

See "get yer photies out" thread

Faffed around trying to get my soldering iron to work and finally managed to get a switched live feed wired in to the fuse box so that I can power my heated grips via a relay... just need to figure out where the hell I am going to mount the stupid bloody switch so that I can route and crimp the remaining wiring... damn nightmare as I'd rather not drill in to plastics...

Removed exhaust and ais ( ais was a bit fiddly to remove ) and cleaned front of engine .

Put cams in and tightened the cam shaft holders. Tensioner back in. Engine cover on and carbs back on. Spark parks in. Missus shitty with me for hiding in the garage. Oh deep joy.

Spark plugs I mean. Grrr can't edit with tapatalk.

Taxed it online (first time - they're dragging me into the modern age, lol).
Now just need some nice winter days....

Is it bad that I completely missed that typo in the first message and read it as Spark plugs regardless :P

i think GAV was right first time....he has "parked his sparks"

Gav · « **Reply #1336 on:** 27 October 2013, 05:49:41 pm »

Hehehe. I actually almosy pooped myself bcus when I tried parking spark no2, it seemed to take forever to wind in. I thought the spark park thread in the head had stripped! Massive sigh of relief as it finally tightened up to stop.

Fitted new clutch plates to the Fazer 400. Accelerates much better now

Exupnut · « **Reply #1339 on:** 29 October 2013, 12:23:35 am »

fazer 4.... accelerates much better now...? no no fella... thats a BIG contradiction.... 400 and accelerate dont belong in the same sentence....especially if it's yellow (fart) silver/red (grandad) gunmetal (dont foccin ask) or black. it has to be a blue 6 or 1 for u to be able to truly post with utmost confidence

Dead Eye · « **Reply #1340 on:** 29 October 2013, 10:30:32 am »

What's wrong the gunmetal now... :P

apage16 · « **Reply #1341 on:** 29 October 2013, 10:44:39 am »

Today I exacted a short to mid term Gun-gum and stainless welding wire repair on the popped collector plate.

Before:

Details

During:

Details

After:

Details

That should hold it!

Hopefully until it's too cold to ride so I can set about removing the downpipes and welding them up without worrying about having her laid up. Or until I can afford the obvious upgrade to stainless pipes!

You have got it all wrong, it is the fastest of all colours Yamaha Racing; Red, Black, White,

which means acceleration is in the M1 league.

The M1 in blue is the slowest, as is the blue R1, blue fazer 1000 and blue fazer 600.

They even look slow in blue

Tapped the holes left by removing the ais & fitted the bolts , hardest part of the job was finding an 8mm tapered tap , luckily I was able to borrow one .

First ride to the office after I put in a new cam chain and a pair of datatool heated grips. nice 1hour ride from Hampshire to Dorset with lovely n warm hands and smooth engine. Happy bunny!

Fitted lever protectors on to stop my Oxford Muffs pushing against the levers. Seems to work. Also had new gold DID chain fitted. The last chain lasted a proxy 4500 miles. Expecting at least 12k from this chain.

Fit a scottoiler, it'll last at least twice as long next time.
