Bought Arrow headers. booked in my dyno session for when they are fitted.
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - slappy - 13-08-14
Removed the Delkevic exhaust ( now on ebay) because the noise was just a bit too much and put this Micron on and I think it is even louder! I must be getting old.
I will keep this on for a bit because I just like the way it looks.
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Dead Eye - 13-08-14
Definitely one of the better looking FZ1 cans I've seen

Getting old = going deaf = can gets quieter! :lol
Looks nice and tucked in, understated :thumbup

Fitted new brake pads to the front and now trying to find a suitable place to mount my little red LED rear fog lights.

Nice run up to Oban today weather was ok, stopped in Inveraray for a brew on the way back, on the ride back down the road just up from the Dunoon turn off there was a truck coming towards me a big artic truck then the arsehole driving it decides his mobile is more important than keeping his truck on the road, truck veers to the left on to the grass banking at about 40mph, I was doing 60mph and the next thing was a wave of grass, dirt and rocks being scattered all over the road, the bike and lastly me got a lovely bruise starting to develop on my chest fucking legs got it as well.....fucking arsehole drivers leave ya fucking mobile phones alone and look where ur going....... :grumble

sounds nasty. looked a nice day for a ride out though, I would probably have seen you up there if it werent for the fact I was trapped in work all day :'(
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - brooker81 - 14-08-14
All done arrow headers finished remaps tommorow then on the dyno next month.
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - chunk166 - 14-08-14
Tightened the chain, dropped the forks through the yokes by 10mm & adjusted the shock to make it a bit softer as i have now lost nearly 2 1/2 stones in weight

went to weston bike night in the pissing rain to pick up my new seat from dave at digger custom m/cycle seats.
phoned him yesterday to organise getting my seat done,and he'd just finished doing a 600 boxeye seat,so put first dibs on it and picked it up today.
great work,he puts extra padding in which raise's the seat slightly,and he puts a firmer bumstop in the seat to keep you in place.
he will be doing another couple of 600 fazer seats soon,only takes 4 hours to do apparantly (he's been doing em for 30 years so he should know what he's doing by now!)_ so if you like the look of them,give him a bell. and he still has the gen 1 thou seat that i put in the 'for sale' bit a few weeeks ago.
cost now is £130 plus £15 posted with parcelforce 48

That is a fine looking Fazer 'Brooker81'
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - brooker81 - 14-08-14
Thanks ten2ten. I love it just to get it dyno'd see what it's producing it's gotta be near the 150 rear wheel bhp.
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - NorthWestern - 16-08-14
Replaced the Dunlop q2 rear with a Michelin pr3. Topped up the oil with 15/50 fully synthetic.
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - noggythenog - 16-08-14
Typical noggy day really.
Intended on doing mega miles....ended up doing only 200.
In the arse end of nowhere in North Wales my gear shifter decided to disconnect itself at the engine spline pivot......no houses nearby....no mobile phone signal
....pic number 4 is the breakdown site.Bodged it on enough to select 3rd gear and then i made it to just outside of Coris.....still no signal so i walked to Coris where the very helpful folk at the steam railway said that if i could freewheel my bike another 500 yards down the main road the train mechanics might be able to help me out.....so i did......& they got me home 8)
Turns out the receiver end by by the splines where the allen bolt goes into was all mushed and the bolt must have worked its way out......they re tapped it enough for the bolt to go all the way in again and tightened it up.
Not wanting to tempt fate i made a beeline for home and i've just noticed that it has worked loose again so i just made it home in the nick of time.
Ill be ordering a new spline and bolt unless i have my old one off the 600 still kicking around.
A couple pics but i never got to the places i intended on exploring......glad to be home in one piece.

Went to Bristol Bike show, bumped into crisp nick again! and devilsyam.
I think nick has a tracker on my bike.
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - nick crisp - 16-08-14
Checked up on Skippernick in Bristol, cos I know he's a bad boy and needs close watching :lol
Killed 2 birds with one stone - met someone from another forum at Bristol to loan them a tent, then on to Luke's for R6 rear shock fitting. Thankyou very much Luke, it's really appreciated :thumbup
We had a quick look round the Bristol bike show - sorry, no pics, but wasn't that much that really caught my eye TBH.
Not the best ride home as a bit too much traffic to really assess the difference, but did feel noticeably more planted, and with it now dropped 10mm on the forks (again, thanks Luke) definitely a bit more flickable. Surprised myself by the speed I took some of those bends on the A4 at one point and eased off; I think it would have felt a little less "together" at that pace before. Needs a trip to those lovely Welsh roads to really get a feel for it, hopefully coming up at the end of this month.
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - rustyrider - 16-08-14
Took it for the MoT, passed with only front tyre getting thin and non E marked can as advisories. Decided to treat it to an oil and filter change then remembered that the belly pan has to come off to get the oil filter out. So bought some VHT black paint, took the downpipes off, gave them a wire brushing and made them look pretty again.
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - red98 - 16-08-14
Sold it......my spare 600 to a guy in cleethorpes, a round trip of 420 miles to deliver it......you only get that level of service when you buy a :faz
