gave mine its first clean since i got it, and replaced the old worn out number plate:
So today the weather is good again, pretty hot. I figured before I go out for a run for the afternoon I should give my Fazer a quick once over and fit the first of the new bits i've bought for it.
A few bugs present on the front (bleurgh):
most of the rest of the bike is just a thin film of dirt/dust, like this:
in particular the wheels:
and top of the priorities list of parts to replace; the number plate which has started to delaminate at the top (and which also strangely has 4 holes in it, but two bolts? (possibly re-holed with new tail tidy?):
Some mess left from the Scott oiler (anyone tell me how to adjust this to lower the rate, this whole side of the bike has some oil contamination so i assume its set too high?):
After a quick clean down with some Prima Hydro, Autosmart G101 and a sash brush for the crevices (and then protected with HydrO2 to help keep it clean):
New plate fitted, with some new bolts (legal sized
):
And yes, I did go back out after looking at this and square up the yellow bolt so both the slots point the same way
I'll more or less keep riding and doing quick washes till the weather gets worse, during the winter I will strip the bike down and correct all the panels, but for now I would rather be out riding it
