I guess I’m starting to miss my Fazer. She’s sorn and was lying abandoned at the side of the garage while I tried to make up my mind what to do about her. So, travel restriction has been lifted this weekend in Scotland, but guess what – it’s pissing down. So, I started fiddling.
There’s no hurry here. Just do one thing at a time, and as I please or not. Of course, I worry I might start breaking things. If I do, or I get bored, I can always off-load her – presumably. Also there is still space for another a bike – I keep searching e-bay…………..hmmm.
Having bought the FZS1000 zero miles pre-reg in 2004, the one thing I regret is not popping the downpipes off a dozen years ago or so! Looking at them now I’m thinking – just leave em. I’m guessing some of them will just snap if I try.
So, radiator is off, for a clean up and a lick of paint. Wondering if I should treat the bike to a new set of hoses. I’ve seen the Samco stuff – but umm, 175 quid a set! Is there anything else out there?
And, has anybody managed to change the wee short hose behind the downpipes – that is without first removing the downpipes? Can it be done. I take it all the other hoses are straightforward?
