Got in a couple of hours of Fazer-time this afternoon, first ride in over a week. Didn't go far, couple of twisty lanes, but still put the smile on my face

Took the long way home from work on the Gen 1 as it was the first day with bone dry roads in a week

Wasnt too keen on the paint when you first posted it all in bits, but gotta admit, it looks pretty good now its all back together!

Took the noggyfighter for a little 70 mile spin over the hills, got some fuel additive with rust protecting properties from halfords, dumped it in the tank, filled to the brim with petrol because im back to work & no doubt today was its last ride before proper winter as im back to work & im away on a course during my next time off.

Plus i fitted by HD stealth camera to my exposed front sub fairing, good mounting point but it was a bit squint.

Spent about 3 hours trying to piece together a 4 minute video......totally infuriating.....not even sure if its gonna work yet but im a stubborn foccer.

After yesterday's downpour. The M27 had several inches of standing water. My Thousand is proper filthy. No time to clean it as I'm on nights so gave it a thrash in tge sunshine. Amazing how the crud has stiffened the side and centre stand up. Almost seized up. I'll need to lube them up as really hard to get the stand down when sat on it.

Went out for some carrots. ....Hull to Wetwang a166 to York a64 to Staxton then towards Driffield off to Sledmere back to Wetwang back to Hull bought carrots and home about 110miles and does she appreciate the effort I've gone to..well what do you think.

I got a licence for it

Mod 2 with zero faults. Should be insured in the next half hour. Its bound to piss down with rain just after that.

Well done, get out quickly then before it rains and if it does we all know who to blame..

Split the old cam chain and thread a new one through on me FZS600

stevierst · « **Reply #1317 on:** 24 October 2013, 10:32:56 pm »

Handed the keys and v5 of my trusty 600 over to my son. Now just got to replace her with something worthwhile.

Rode it down to the Ace Cafe to try out the K&N and have a Big breakfast to boot. Performance was definitely up until it popped the top off of the (rusty) exhaust collector on the way home!

Dropped mine in at the dealer for work on the brakes, hopefully I'll get it back today. If not then I've got their 13 plate Gladius to ride for the weekend.
Interesting bike. Only 66bhp apparently but it feels faster than my Fazer. Probably due to the torquey V twin but it feels like it's not revving as much as it actually is.
It's not on my Christmas list though.

Found a water leak. Was sitting at traffic lights on the way to work with a puddle developing under me, and it wasn't because I'd had too many coffees in the morning. Managed to temp fix it to get home in the evening though and need to replace the pipe this weekend.

Found my old VFR rear seat cowl in red, so got a close colour match,resprayed it and made it fit, also fitted some tiny rear indictators and strengthened the floppy tail tidy someone had fitted, oh and with the same stainless steel i made the indicator brackets.

Very pleased with my rear end now,

Cleaned bike, dried it, Yamalube in and brimmed tank. ACF 50 applied. Carbs drained, plastic taped over exhaust to stop little creatures making a home in there. See you in April, Fazer ! Out on XJ600 from now on, probably up to Bangor Pier tomorrow, weather permitting.

esetest · « **Reply #1323 on:** 26 October 2013, 03:53:12 pm »

I started the jobs I was planning for winter , removed the battery , fuel tank and radiator so I can remove the ais and paint the front of the engine. Loosened off the exhaust header nuts which were surprisingly easy to undo - then rain stopped play .

Skippernick · « **Reply #1324 on:** 26 October 2013, 04:18:55 pm »

Fitted a new rear braided brake line and bleed it all up.
Front ones to fit on Monday.
