balls it up dave
« on: 30 March 2016, 08:53:44 pm »
Hello all im a newb to riding and have had my 1999 fzs600 since october last year. Every time i go to do a simple job, i.e change brake lads adding heated grips or just removing the wing mirror to take off the fairing i royally foc things up and make more work for myself. Im sure you lot will be having a right laugh at my expense. Hey ho im learning.

Welcome to the site..... I am SO glad it's not me.  The number of times guys on here have told me something is an "easy", 1 hour job and the next thing there is a long post of all my foc ups and weeks without a bike!


Just see my bit about "CHEAP chinese levers" that turned into a new master cylinder and 2 new calipers and was far from cheap.

Your big mistake in doing any bike diy is that you clearly are not swearing enough, a good selection of profanities are the most useful tools in your tool box.

 ;) They must be metric profanities though.
