day off yesterday...was planning to take the thou out....must have been the wettest day this year ...did tax it though ....had a good clear up in the garage and took a load of stuff to the dump...kept the stuttering fazer before anyone asks,so now have a nice tidy garage to sort the bike out,will be ordering the tyres this evening and have them delivered to work as always someone there...working this weekend but should have time to spend on the fazer... so in short................no progress
are you sure he got right bike???.....fuel injector,valve ?....
Got Fazer back and feels really tight and sexy. :-) According to the mechanic it was the fuel injectors/valve thingy that needed clearing (I actually totally forgot on the ride back as I was having too much fun) Eitherway, it was something that the mechanic says he hasn't done in 25 years . . . . .I remain a little apprehensive cos I have eroded trust, however, if the two bikes I test tomorrow don't match up, or I don't get offered more than £1300 part ex, then I will probably be keeping it . . . . .
hey red!!....picking up thou at wkend?....settled at £600..BUT....no luggage!! dont blame him though?...had a offer for £200 for it!!...we struck up a deal though?....hes so confident that motors ok?...he,l give me a 100 bk if owt wrong with it? .....he also thinks that he may have a spare key?..as he can remember putting one...as he says?..safe in his garage??.. ....ile not keep me hopes up on that hey?....anyway if it does go tits up!... yourself and many more will enjoy the spares .......
