Dug it out in the shed, washed it then rode it for half and hour, after 8 weeks off it, wayheyyyy, scary power up the top end,and the roads were greasy so had to stay safe

Just arranged to meet up with me mate and another fella fresh out from England. So meet up at 10.30 me on the FZ1, mate on his 900 Hornet and Andy on his 600 Hornet. Will be a slow one as Andy is not used to riding on the wrong side of the road. Just to piss you all off forecast for the next week here in Spain is wall to wall sunshine and 18/20 degrees.
Will post a few pic's
Looking forward to it

Fitted a scottoiler, changed the oil & filter and eyed up other little jobs to do.

At the weekend, cleaned the rear caliper, bit of silicone grease around the pistons (have not got any red rubber grease) and fitted Galfer Semi-Metallic pads with a bit of copper slip as appropriate

Went for the G1054 compound after seeing good coments on here, cheers guys,
bought the same ready for the front, but not fitting those yet as I still have fair bit left on the fronts.

Particularly liked ......

I found that swapping from EBC to Galfer pads has stopped a hell of a big brake dust problem which i'm sure contributes towards the seizing of calipers.

...... I don't like cleaning the bike, I prefer to ride it

Oh, and I have ordered some Bosch spark plugs

Stripped the wheels down for some paint.....(time for a colour change...

Just for you Slimwilly.
Todays ride out took place in glorious sunshine.
If any of you get out this way the photo with the bikes at a fountain is on the road to Guadalest which is in the mountains not really that far from Benidorm. There is a fantastic Motorcycle Museum here some fantastic old bikes and well worth a stop. Will post a few more pics in later.
really great day out. Just to cheer you up Spring is on the way I have Daffodils out in my garden already.

Looks great out there. BBC has just promised sleet and cold rain here for tomorrow morning. Was going to take the Fazer for work, but postponed I think ...........

Just took a pic of another Lecturer's bike next to mine. Oh, made a jack up kit for his (Silver), as he realised his was sitting lower than mine!

lew600fazer · « **Reply #3815 on:** 14 January 2015, 01:39:50 pm »

Just give her a wash after yesterdays run as they do still treat the roads up in the mountains here in Spain no sign of salt on the bike but my policy is look after it and it will look after you.

Went out on the fazer to machine mart to get a ball joint splitter. Not been out for a while and felt good. Took out the delkavic exhaust baffle for extra fun. Got the splitter home only for it to snap in half when releasing the lower ball joint on me mini. I think I over stressed it. So back out on fazer for another one. This time I tensioned the splitter on the joint, then applied blow torch flame on the lower suspension arm to release the joint. Made quite a BANG when it gave way.
Out n about on fazer, played with spanners and car passed MOT in the end. Enjoyable day really :P

Another couple of hours in the cave replacing the shite stock cheese bolts with stainless even in places u can't see as there's nothing worse than one of these snapping....

anyway nearly all done......just a few more to order...

Skippernick · « **Reply #3818 on:** 18 January 2015, 08:48:08 pm »

Rode it for the first time in 3 months.
Using my 125 to commute to work at the moment so the gazer is in bed. She started the second time of asking and when i sat on her and blipped the throttle the biggest grin spread across my face.
Roll on Spring

Start spraying belly pan.

Rexr · « **Reply #3820 on:** 19 January 2015, 02:08:16 pm »

Stripped and cleaned the wheels and the bolts the discs back on with brand new titanium bolts....

slappy · « **Reply #3821 on:** 24 January 2015, 07:26:27 pm »

Changed the oil and filter, took front wheel off to get a new tyre fitted but tyre shop was closed when I got there,used to open all day Saturday but now closes at one o`clock. Day off on Wednesday so get it fitted then, a new Contimotion, they were on when I bought the FZ1 and i can`t fault them for my style of riding.

Kosmic Kartman · « **Reply #3822 on:** 25 January 2015, 01:47:25 pm »

I had a plan that involved riding a Fazer on a quick recky to some garden centres and to try out my new Gerbing heated gloves... AWSOME TOASTY HANDS. Got pretty squirrely and sideways out of some of the corners. Makes you feel alive, especially when you hit mud in the middle of the road and you realise your actually out of control doing about XX5mph... Ooops 55mph. Long time since I've had that slow motion feeling when you think it's all going to end in tears by the side of the road.

Tuckerhauser · « **Reply #3823 on:** 25 January 2015, 05:54:15 pm »

Roughed out a brk to mount a bellypan,
removed front wheel, mudguard, pads, calipers and cleaned
Painted ends or rad to cover a few stone chips

Now thinking about getting wheels painted or power coated
