Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - mr self destruct - 09-04-14
Got pulled over by a couple of coppers at the end of my road on the way into work, who informed me my tail lights weren't working. Nice enough blokes, rather than do me they escorted me home instead. Turns out my sidelights are out too so I'll have a look when I get home tonight. Probably a fuse or something simple like that. :\
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Gav - 09-04-14
Whipped off bellypan and downpipes for a spuce up. Sanded em back a tad ready for a coat of black hi temp paint tomorrow. Also wanted to replace the downpipe header studs but they're not.budging so rather than accidently snapping one off,I'm leaving them. Just new gaskets n nuts. Also cleaning the crud off the front of the engine and repaint with Granville engine paint with a brush.
Finish it tomorrow bright n early as I've got the day off.

Check your ignition barrel, chances are you've sheared a wire at the barrel. I had that very same fault, and another bloke on here recently had the same issue. Easy to bypass if you don't mind losing your parking lights.

Cheers for the advice! I stripped the light switch yesterday and gave it a clean. It seemed to work but this morning I noticed a bit of a flicker when I turned them on, so I'll have a look at the barrel tonight.

Serviced the beast. (it was a little overdue):-[
Whoever put the last oil filter on needs slapping as it was tighter than a nuns chuff! Filter wrench kept slipping round it, ended up hammering a screwdriver through it and levering the bugger off!

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Gav - 10-04-14
Yeah nuts came off with 2 Mins of Wd40 soak and engine startup to warm em up a bit. Came off no problem. I must be the lucky one. Not going to attempt to remove the studs though. Even though I have a new shiny set on the shelf.

Bit of copper grease on threads before replacing nuts-better still fit domed stainless nuts to keep the crap out!
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Dead Eye - 10-04-14
I've had a taste of both worlds when it comes to the headers...
On my first 600 they all came off with ease without a hint of any issues. They looked pretty bad but were fine and this was at circa 23k miles
My second 600... well... every single one snapped, 2 of which flush with the head. But this was an 82k mile machine :\

I have got the nuts off 2 years running now without breaking them, same method a week of soaking with wd40.
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - zippywight - 10-04-14
Happy dayz. Thats bike passed MOT for another year!! No advisories.!! Really happy..... its always a nervous day!!
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - esetest - 10-04-14
Cleaned it and lubed the chain .
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Grahamm - 10-04-14
Replaced the alarm that had a knackered motion sensor only to find that the replacement I'd bought from eBay had the wrong remote fobs, so I couldn't arm and disarm it!
Had to put the old one back in and get in touch with the guy I bought the replacement off to see if he's got the right fobs lying around
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Gav - 10-04-14
All done. Front of the engine block cleaned with Gunk and a tooth brush. Sprayed up the downpipes, painted the front side of the engine with Granville black and then refitted the pipes with new gaskets and nuts. the skin on my hands is now fooked but bike looks a bit tidier lol

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Dave48 - 11-04-14
Took Rhondda Red shopping to WheelHouse Tyres. Had a nice new Michelin PR3 fitted to rear wheel. Didn't realise what a difference it would make to the way she rolls into bends! :lol Wallet lighter but happy!
