happy so far
« on: 16 May 2012, 10:45:59 pm »
Well thats me survived the first week of fazer ownership and im happy with it. So far so good  :) .
Stuck a new pair of tyres on yesterday went for pirelli angel st in the end and have done just over 100 miles will have to see how they go but seem pretty good so far.
Also fitted a powertech can and link pipe with the baffle fitted its not much louder than stock and hasnt affected the running any. Pulled the plugs and they look the same colour as with the standard can. The baffle is riveted so need to break out the drill before i can see what its like with it removed. The can itself seems pretty well made especially at the price £125 including link pipe and clamps.
Cheers Allan

You've bought one of the greatest bikes ever made. Glad you've joined the club!

Got a couple of jobs still to do. Had the 7k error a couple of times so retensioned the cables but the exup needs lubed at some stage. Had the same with my 99 R1 so no big deal. Been spraying the bolts with penetrating oil every day so fingers crossed they come out ok.  :)
Also got a set of shorter dog bones to stick on while im underneath. Had a set on my bandit 12 and it made a massive difference not sure how much it will change the fazer but time will tell.
Cheers Allan

Well thats my new shock on order decided to go for devilyams R6 shock upgrade so just waiting for it to arrive now. Had a look at the usual suspects nitron etc and after reading the guys on heres reports decided the r6 one was the way to go. Looking forward to getting it and slinging the old one in the bin. its the only real weak point on a great bike.
