Bags packed, tools still in use, though ... my '99 R1 is getting some TLC after sitting out most of the winter on paddock stands.  :)

See you all this weekend some time.  Don't be late ... ;)

Cheers!!

Mike

French ATC strike is affecting flights today but hopefully all will be back to normal tomorrow.  Please keep a close eye on e-mails, guys, because if I have to postpone or cancel, that will be my first line of comms.

However, if you hear nothing from me to the contrary, assume that all is well and that I am on time and in the place you expect me to be on the day! 

Cheers!

Mike

I can - 'hand on heart' say getting my bike ivanised transformed it from a slightly woolly throttle response to a sharp and precise one. The bike feels as if it's come alive. I have to be honest when i say i bought mine brand new and was slightly disappointed because it felt like a honda! Did everything smoothly and revved with no massive kick in the pants, but after ivanising it became like a free revving nutter with a sweet powerband and loads more grunt in the midrange, absolutely amazing. Still own it after 9 years... Nuff said.  ENJOY :D  Ps.. Mikes a genius  Pps send the cheque Mike.. :lol

Hi all,

Looking good, I hope.  Outbound flight from Stansted to Murcia appears to be on schedule so fingers crossed that there's no other spanners in the works to come.

Hasta pronto, hombres! :)

Hi all i had my bike done on Saturday. just the slip on with std can BUT OMG
and WAW what a difference it makes :eek .
rode up the midlands 134 mile's and ride home was 160 miles in the rain!
so i had a really good ride, bike is smoother, bike starts much easier, pick up is there from near idle speed. fuel consumption is really great 160 miles on just over 3/4 of a tank of fuel so work that one out :b  but i did not really push it 70- 80mph because of the weather.
If there is anybody thinking of this mod it is a must, and i would not hesitate in doing it BUT get it done professionally.
mike is a really great guy and very professional , his knowledge of the fazer is outstanding and he is a genius in his own right. I would like to thank the host Nic of the venue and the 3 other lads who i met a really nice bunch of lads.
Rich can you PM me for more details on your shock please.
again thank you mike for working on my bike.
jools

Hi all, I am new on the site and decided to add to this thread. Mike has just done the “full monty” on my Gen 1 (Blue now the even faster colour!!!), what a top bloke, this man knows his stuff, mega professional and a nice guy as well (he brought 10 BHP in a suitcase to my house!!!)
 
All the things that have been said about this mod are true with all the benefits as discussed on this forum so if you get the chance on Mike’s next visit get yer wallet out and pay the man.
 
Thanks a ton Mike I hope that you got home OK.

Thanks, everyone. :)

Got back home here just after midnight yesterday, tired but happy to leave 13 'new' Fazer owners in my wake. ;)  Everyone clearly very chuffed with the outcome of the 'Ivanising' which makes me well-chuffed, too.

Big thanks to Gary, Nick, Jimmy & Paul, and Mike yesterday for providing me with facilities to work out of and to all of you who made the journey to meet up with me.  I'll need a day or two to catch up with my work here and then I'll get on with investigating the things some of you asked, like R1 shift linkage and Pipercross cleaning kits.

Right, who's next .... ???? :)

Mike

I hope we can get more Scottish fockers lined up so mike can do a Scottish trip this year, or even early next year.

Just upgraded from a fzs600 to a thou in April and would love to get ivanised.

Post by: Falcon 269 on 20 June 2013, 04:56:48 pm
If I can get enough interest, I would be happy to look at making another trip in mid-September, to the north of England and Scotland in particular.

Drop me an e-mail if you'd like to know more.  That's e-mail, not PM via the forum, please ... mikegreatorexAThotmail.com :)

Cheers!

Mike
