Took the fairing off and took the bike to the shop to change fork oil and bushings. I took the fairing off because of the aftermarket HID headlights and the rat's nest of wires that I did not want the shop have to deal with.
Also there is a small fuel leak at the carbs, either from when the carbs were cleaned back in November, or maybe from the lowside in December. I noticed the leaks back in January.

Hopefully, I will have the bike back for the week end. If not, I can always ride my daughter's FZ-07 (she is pregnant

Rode it to town and back and dodged the showers .

Dropped it in to the dealer for a service and new chain & sprockets (I know I could do all that myself but I'm one of those people that are cash rich but time poor).
Got a new MT-03 as a courtesy bike. 300cc twin, like riding a bloody vibrator on the motorway!

I like to think of it as a meat tenderizer on wheels...

UPDATE:
I've since found out it's not the latest model, it's the previous 660cc single.
Fuck me is it sloooooow! Riding it I thought it wasn't a shitload faster than my old 125 so assumed it was the new 300cc bike.

Your analogy is closer, a vibrator at least has some sort of pleasure associated with it!

Racing grease? Is that better than normal grease, more slippery?

Washed it and took her for a spin in the sunshine

Gave the infill panels a spray of impact resistant gloss black

Come on Freck you must have tried racing grease before haven't you? I say tried cos you have to be quick, once the lids off the tin it's gone.

Absolutely nothing because it is in the shop for fork service

I thought about it, does it count?

However, I rode my daughter's FZ-07 and had fun with it, even though the lack of windshield would prevent me from riding it on the highway for more than 50-60 miles (I did about 40 and it felt good to be back in town...)
I honestly do not understand people who ride long distance without any kind of windshield. A friend of mine has a Harley without any windshield and he is going to bike week (about 500 miles one way from here) TWICE!!! (this week end and the next).

Had a good blast on the 6 in the afternoon sun. I really like riding it chucakble and enough poke. I'm looking forward to getting the fz1 back on the road with some new bits fitted

Not really a fan of the FZ6, but have to admit that is one smart looking machine you have there Brooker.
