Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - stevierst - 22-03-14
Took it for a spin to glasson dock with my bro-in-law with the intent on hitting the lakes.
Just tucking into my sausage butty when the heavens opened. No choice but to ride it home again. Arse!

(22-03-14, 07:43 PM)nick crisp link Wrote: New chain kit fitted - not sure that it's the chain I would have preferred; the mechanic I use got a DID VX for it, instead of a VM, which is what I thought it should be. I think it should be ok though, maybe won't last quite so long. Unbelievable state the old chain was in, after riding through flooded roads and not getting to clean it immediately afterwards. Still, those were, I think, the original chain and sprockets, 27.000 miles-ish, so not bad for a bike with no auto-oiler.Curiosity got the better of me after reading your post about the VX or VM , so I looked up the DID website. The last chain I bought for the Fzs1000 was a VX.
And now washed and shiny again. Happiness is a clean, shiny :faz

Reading this it appears that the VX is stronger then the VM. A sigh of relief here

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - mickvp - 23-03-14
Got a quick fly round with some super resin polish, and got 3 coats of paint onto one side of the engine, was just about to start the second side of the engine when the heavens opened (luckily that side is not too bad). Cover is now strapped over it tightly.

First decent run of the year yesterday, port william via girvan and newton stewart then down to port patrick and back up the coast via stranraer and girvan, a couple showers but nothing serious, about two hundred miles all in
.and ordered a new front tyre this morning a pilot road 3 £99 fitted which i thought was an OK price
