what did you do with your fazer today ?

[AJM]

After passing her MOT and having new tyres fitted I gave her a nice wash, didn't get out as planned though

[noggythenog]

Would be a shame to break the habit of a lifetime & ride it so after yesterdays triumph i just washed it & degreased the downpipes & oil coller area whilst the bellypan is off.


Downpipe flanges or whatever you call them are still looking a tad rusty....ideally could do with some new ones & studs etc....ill add that to the list for next year.

I did this!!

Why have you put a gas mask on it?

I was given it with the lights so thought I'd see what it looked like, I think it's better with, what say you??

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder,,,if you like it,,thrash it

[fazersharp]

Not a fan of bar mirrors -- makes it look like an ant ( sorry )

[Dead Eye]

It's not bad - just needs something to tidy up the clocks imo. They are one of the few things that always let down the naked fazers imo

I agree, that's next on the list along with a new can, new grips, new levers and a paint job.

[Dead Eye]

Just the bare essentials then?

 Rode home from Arromanches, Normandy after my weekend of visiting D-Day sites.


Didn't all go smoothly, during the ride down on Friday bike started pissing out fuel from overflow, couldn't stop it at the roadside so decided to continue onto Normandy, used about twice as much fuel as normal and bike would only run properly at over 6000rpm.
Pulled out the carbs & stripped them down at the B&B Friday night but couldn't see anything wrong put them back together and got all back on the bike Saturday morning, no leaks so well chuffed but can't understand what the caused the original problem.


But all in all a great weekend, would recommend Normandy to anyone thinking of going.

Pity about the bike playing up, but sounds like you enjoyed the trip nevertheless. What did you see/where exactly did you go? Pics? So many WW2 battlefields I'd like to see, and maybe will one day, if I can stay shiny side up for long enough  Was probably safer being zeroed in by German 88s than riding my bike - the hedgerows of the Norman Bocage have nothing on Welsh ones     

[brooker81]

got me some new summer boots for the way to work sick of putting the sidi's on for 5 mile ride.

[Mike01]

Fitted Renthals and tried my new givi tank lock bag 

[AJM]

Really like the look Mike01 ^^^^exactly what i want to do to mine too, how long did it take you and was it fairly easy to do? Short levers easy to fit?

Hi.
Yep all easy enough and straight forward! Not put my end weights on yet as i need to sort some threaded plugs for the bars but saying that it is riding as it was with them so it will only be to close off the bar ends.
Theres a guy on youtube, DellBoys garage or something, great vid for fitting Renthals (to a Bandit but you get the idea) if you are unsure about anything.

Edit: around an hour for the bars taking my time and 10 minutes for the levers 

[AJM]

Cool, thanks Mike01, it kinda updates/freshens an area of the bike that needs it, will take a look at the youtube clip.
 
Thanks again
 
Andrew.

errm..... dropped it off at friendly bike shop after been recovered of A3 this morning as it spluttered & died 2.5 miles after filling up!!
(I might have put diesel in but pretty sur I didn't. No I don't have receipt as it was pay at pump & wasn't bothered bout little bit of paper.... No I cant remember if it was green or black as was early)
 
didn't smell like diesel but low fuel light had been on for 10 miles last night so could just be dirty fuel, big clouds of white smoke when it restarted but then cut out!!
 
14/5/15 edit: went back to petrol station & reprinted receipt & lo and behold yep diesel!!! 
ah well it was gonna be serviced & MOT'd after Rorkes Drift Rally anyway so now it be done before!!!

[bri h]
