bought oil, oil filter, filter chain wrench and what an absolute waste of £4+ that was.
Ended up using the classic screwdriver punched through filter method.

Explored some more Cotswolds roads today, found some nice ones. Windy on top of the hills tho. And actually had it almost flat out in top today too - I'm not telling you where (think I took a wrong turn and wound up on a German autobahn - or was it my mates private drag strip?  ;)   :lol ) Not something I plan on doing often!

So, with a full ivanised kit, on your mate's drag strip - what did you do?  :)

Well, I pointed it up this long, straight bit of tarmac, tucked down a bit, whacked up the gears and held the throttle wide open........ :lol

If you'd had Puncturesafe/seal/whatever it's called in the tyres, you'd have been fine.
 
Do I have it in mine? No, forgot...... :\   :lol

Had a cracking local ride with some friends, my fzs600, a heavily modified Z750 called Alice, a modified Sachs 125 and a bandit :-) chips and a shandy and home again! Happy days

Picked up the noggyfighter...complete with Cristo's now shiny downpipes...& correctly flashing indicators...& new front mudguard
still a couple finishing touches to do during the winter & next year i'll look at getting a decent looking fairing on.
Downpipes are really nice, i cant notice any difference in performance, thought they'd just look nice which they do but im surprised at the nice raspy growl they produce. :)

I reckon a little clean & a couple bits of paint and it's ready for a new piccie :photo
 
fairing wise i'd love to bastardise a fazer fairing to somehow slot it over the little single headlight and cut off  the ears a little bit so i can still have handlebar mirrors & maybe cut out the join between the 2 headlight holes.. i mean i could just go original but i refuse to pay money for another headlight unit for the fazer which is universally known as being shite.& the main thing is that i want to keep the front bracket for the clocks to mount to.
 
decisions decisions!!!

popped the front sprocket cover off to check on the front sprocket nut and clean some of the gunge out the cover from the scottoil. think i have pinpointed my deceleration noise as a non-OEM front sprocket? then adjusted the chain and refitted the cover.

now its time to clean and polish it (again :rolleyes), before covering it for the night :)

Filter and oil change. Not very exciting but something to do whilst the rain falls monotonously down.

Left Wrexham in the drizzle at 8-15am to Corwen, Cerrigydrudion ( met Trev as arranged), Betws y coed, Capel Curig. LLyn Ogwen, Bethesda, Brittania bridge, on to the Wirral 100 club race meeting at the Anglesey Circuit. Overcast, but dry, and some good racing. Hit some rain between Bangor and Betws y coed on the way home. Arrived back just before dark. Bike needs cleaning tomorrow. 160 miles in total.

While the bike is hung high and dry i thought i would degrease the rear sprocket and give it a coat of gold paint to match the chain

WTF, tell us the name of the shop where you had it repaired and we won't go there. That is an absolute rip off.
I had mine repaired with a mushroom  patch 3 weeks ago for €10
