it's harder to get much lower due to the low foot pegs on the Fazers...



Have you jacked the bike up with smaller dog bones?, gives a little extra ground clearance & tighter turning.
Also is that a Simmi end can?, looks like mine from what i can see.


The bike is jacked up at the rear and the forks dropped through around an 3cm, also have aftermarket footpegs which are a little smaller... It's actually a scorpion carbon fibre can! Sounds so nice!  :lol

New oil and filter, twiddled with the suspension and got confused by the rebound being on the right fork top and the compression being on the left...

I am correct about the rebound/comp being on different fork legs arent I....???

Learnt how to get my knee down, so happy!  :D 

You might not be so happy when you realise that, unless that's a private road, you've just left evidence of yourself engaged in Careless Riding (the wheelie) and your number plate so you can be traced...  :stop

Looks like a wheelie school's track to me... ;)

Nothing, looked at it on the lift. Looks really sad all in bits just to get two new exhaust studs in.

Changed a rear light bulb. The downside to having a modified rear....What a kafuffle.

Got back out in to the garage. Leant the bike right over on to its side and refitted the forks and front wheel so that I could finally lift it back upright and put it back on the centre stand after its little escape attempt last week. So now its secured by 4 axle stands so shouldn't be going anywhere this time.

Unfortunately found out that the bolt on the top of the old '99 forks is a size not in my collection so that sort of stopped me in my tracks for the day. But at least progress has been made. I was surprised at the lack of damage to the downpipes as well - they were holding a fair bit of weight for a while there and haven't deformed at all

Left Wrexham at 8-30am for Bala-Dolgellau-Machynlleth-Tal y Bont-up the mountain road to Nant y moch reservoir-down the other side to Ponterwyd-Aberystwyth promenade for dinner, and back home via Machynlleth,Dolgellau,Bala. 188 miles and very little traffic. A really nice ride.

Fitted my new eBay £99 380mm not quite a stubby endcan (easy fit, seems good quality and sounds very nice) and then rode the estuary / coast road in glorious sunshine from Exeter down to Babbacombe, thru Starcross, Dawlish and Teignmouth to meet an old buddy for coffee, then blasted back up the A380.....nice day.

Paid a mechanic to replace the piston seals all round yesterday, seals off ebay €40 and 6 hours worth of labour (some were tough b*stards) all in €160 for a brake overhaul. He mentioned I needed new pads all round so went out today and bought some EBC HH pads for the front and fitted them. Yet to break them in, work tonight will give me an idea what they are like.

But they were worn to limits too, right? Not trying to teach granny what to do with her eggs, but you wouldn't replace them just cos they're glazed?

Nope, still a bit of life on them, I've kept the pads so I can dicky them up if I need them, but for the peace of mind I put the new ones in since I had them. I think it was the original pads as well (sumitomo ones?), so I don't mind putting new ones in. The ferodo platinum ones feel much better anyway, so glad I've done it.

Just need to do the brake lines now :lol

Just fitted a waterproof charging socket and phone carrier to the fz1, then spent the next hour sewing conductive thread into the index finger of my left glove so I can use my phone with gloves on. It works too! :D
Stop polishing it and ride the bloody thing!!
