Nothing yet, but might take the tent to Wales this afternoon - would be a shame to waste what promises to be a nice weekend  Big Grin

Yeah, I'm pretty good at conveniently "forgetting" to buy replacement crush washers.

Just found one on eBay for £1.69 plus £1.10 P&P, so ordered it :thumbup
[/quote]
Surprisingly my local Yamaha dealer only charges 60p for a crush washer(sump plug type)
[/quote]
more like a reasonable price. best tell him to stock up the foccers could be coming his way lol
[/quote]

£1:13 at my yam dealer. Reading manual it implies renewal isn't necessarily needed


Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - noggythenog - 29-03-14






Gonna take mine to work tonight....got a call & there's sickness cover going......a new bike wont pay for itself.


Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Mattsplat - 29-03-14

Fitted my new Renthal 755's and they looked stupid on the OEM tall risers  :rolleyes

Ripped everything back off and sourced some shorter Bandit risers, just waiting for them to arrive so I can enjoy the sunshine  Smile

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - esetest - 29-03-14

Washed it , polished it , applied GT85 to metal parts( not discs) , applied WD40 silicone bike shine to rubber(not tyres)  and plastics , polished exhaust , cleaned and lubed chain , checked coolant and oil levels . 


Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - unfazed - 29-03-14

Pushed back the rubber boots on the Coil end of the Plug caps and coated the area with Vaseline.
That will stop the water getting in and causing the rough running. Smile
Replaced my worn clutch lever, clutch back to normal feel again. Big Grin
Difficult to see the hole wear in the picture, but the difference is always amazing

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - unfazed - 29-03-14

You will just have to trade it for the real Fazer. You know, the one with the carburettors and real seat. :lol


Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - jason1 - 29-03-14

Stripped rear caliper , needed a major clean and new seals, plus one new piston as the old one was marked badly.
Lucky i did this too as both pistons were missing any form of dust seal, just crud.


Then took her for a spin and rear brake works a treat. Should be ok for MOT in a few weeks. Smile

Today i decided to give my 2005 fazer a good deep clean including
Polishing the exhaust and the manifold. There i found a problem!!
On the nearside downpipe there is a crack. It goes all around the pipe. Anyideas how serious this is and how it can be sorted please?


Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Red Ceri - 30-03-14

Went to Ilford to pick up some pannier liners for my Givi E41 panniers, forgot how wide they make the bike and tagged a couple of mirrors when filtering on A12.

Tomorrow pick up a set of 2001 R1 forks with modified Fazer lower yoke and CNC top yoke.
