FZ6 / Fazer / changing front brake lever
« on: 06 March 2013, 05:29:26 pm »
Afternoon all,
First things first, this is a newbie technical post, appreciate any response you have time to give....
Long story short, taxi plus me on my S reg Fz6 equals me on the ground, no major harm done to me or the bike thanks to engine bars, only a front brake lever bent almost totally around at the end. Brake is still working fine and I've been riding no problems. Got a spare front brake lever in the post and was going to fire away and replace. Looked simple enough, one bolt, decided to newbie-proof myself in case it wasn't that simple, don't like messing with brakes....they're kinda important to the whole stopping side of things.
Saw a post online about problems with the little hydraulic plunger popping out when the lever is taken off, brakes locking up afterwards....
Is this something that I can do myself? Am I going to do something stupid and regret it? I'm learning my way around the bike which I have since before xmas but have a long way to go.
As i said, any and all help will be appreciated.
Cheers.

Introduction / First Fazer coming this week, hi to all.
« on: 12 November 2012, 04:32:49 pm »
Have sold my trusty Virago 250 which has been very good to me over the last six years. S reg gold Fazer getting delivered Thursday of this week, can't wait.
 
Been looking around but any new-to-Fazer tips (it will be doing south to north london and back each day, city based most of the time) which would help me avoid first day fails are most welcome.
 
I like my bikes and have been riding twenty years, not super mechanical though so don't worry about posting something basic if you think it might help, no offence to be taken here.
 
Cheers.
