I'm a little sad that it's gone and hope that the new owner gets as much pleasure from it as I have. In the three years I owned it never once did it not fail to put a smile on my face. Hopefully I will feel the same about the gen2, the little changes I've made since buying it from noggy are starting to make it feel like my bike instead of one I've borrowed.


I just pissed about with it in an attempt to make it right for me but in the end it just wasnt.......hope it goes well for ya as it has obviously had a little bit of a troubled past.....the little things just annoyed me more than they should have....im the same with my new bike.....ill be the same with every bike that isnt new..........but im still glad i experienced that rush of pure power, woulda always wondered what it was like........to think there are bikes out there that are even quicker is quite mind boggling at times.

Keep and eye on it especially before and after the longer journeys  :thumbup

Had a tear in my eye as I handed over the keys to her new owner.

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - NorthWestern - 09-10-15

Considered washing it. Looks like it's just finished a wet le mans! Might do it tomorrow before it takes on a monochrome look

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Amylicious - 10-10-15

1, Covered the swing arm with carbon fiber. Took only a few minutes not counting the cleaning before Smile
2, Looking to close detected quite a few screws and washers which need to be replaced.
3, Realized that even though she’s getting maintained regularly, my mechanic doesn’t seem to care about the little things Smile
4, Noticed that the main stand needs to be painted asap!!!
5, Scheduled a proper shower for her tomorrow realising how dirty she’s got during our little trip through the hills yesterday

Nice job there Amy but as you say "mechanic" doesn't care, so it's all down to you to maintain it to your standards Smile

We've got the best roads here but unfortunately the worst weather at times Sad So you might have to do more maintenance than those soft southerners :rollin

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Amylicious - 10-10-15

you're soooo right... Will be a long night again spending hours ordering tiny little things for her that no one will see without glasses  Big Grin Hope we'll have a few more weeks to make her dirty though Smile

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - sinto607276 - 10-10-15

Who cares what people see? It's what you want to do as it makes it right for you and you'll know it's done Smile
At least I can still ride at night if I want to unlike Paul down south http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php/topic,18446.0.html

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - esetest - 11-10-15

Rode too Bibury and back , overcast and chilly but at least it was dry , a lot of traffic heading too the Arboretum , lots of bikers about today .

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - the cueball - 11-10-15

rode it like the dirty little bitch she is....


:rollin

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Didier9 - 12-10-15

Replaced the air filter today at ~16,000 miles. Was not as hard as anticipated but still harder than it should, which explains why it had not been done by the po... Also greased the chain (1,000 miles since last time) and gave her a general cleaning. There was a lot of crud under the tank and the side panels, so it looks better there now. Nobody but me will know but that's ok.

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Smurfbud - 14-10-15

Dyno run at Ian Bell Motorcycles (see "happy with 141" post) and a wee blast whilst the sun was out .......... followed by cleaning the chain lube off the back wheel !!

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - nick crisp - 15-10-15

Fitted the Scorpion can that arrived today. Started easily on the button with no choke, something that it hasn't really been good at with the Delkevic that was on there. Then it rained, so didn't get a chance to get out and see if this can works better with the Ivan's set-up, as I suspect it will, and indeed, did on the last one. Still suspicious that the Delkevic was a little too restrictive.

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - nick crisp - 16-10-15

Took it into town; runs so much sweeter with the new can, well chuffed. Smoother in lower gears in traffic now. In fact, I found I could drop down to 1.5k rpm in second in traffic and no snatchiness, hesitancy or bogging. It really has confirmed what Mike said about the Full Monty needing a good, free flowing can to work at it's best.

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - nickodemon - 16-10-15

Owned the bike nearly a month and put nearly 1000 miles on the clock. All the issues it had when i bought it have been fixed Big Grin

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - kitcrazy - 17-10-15

fitted some crash bungs and took her for a Little ride

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - NorthWestern - 17-10-15

Ordered some front pads and bearings for the rear wheel.

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - red98 - 18-10-15

Took the 600 for a bimble, burnham beaches, ace cafe, bushy park  and home via brooklands, oh, and gave it a quick wash before the ride.......still looking good  Wink
