Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - bri h - 29-10-15
Treated it to an oil and filter change and tightened the chain for good measure.
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - stevegixer - 29-10-15
made a set of jackup dog bones in work today, as rear end was really low when i got it, ( after speaking to a mate realised it had been lowered below standard)
aint tried it yet but think it may be a bit high,will find out on ride to work tomorrow, so ordered an r6 shock off devilsyam, also ordered an aftermarket seat .( not off devilsyam lol)
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - JKay - 29-10-15
Got home on fazer 1000, tried to key in ignition to restart it to ride into garage and it won't turn on, jammed rowlocks off to work on the suzuki dr250

6 months to the day since I had my little fall, I took it for a spin on some private ground and found that, with enough painkillers down my neck I can actually ride again.
Don't know how long it'll be before I've got enough strength in my arms to ride again but I can't wait. Just to be able to do some tinkering on her would be nice but don't have the dexterity in my hands just yet :'(

It's a pisser isn't it?
You'll get there sooner or later. 
Managed to ride mine to the Yamaha dealer and it hurt like a bastard, trying to twist my foot in to reach the gear lever. It passed the MoT though, which I'm over the moon with.
While I was there though, they let me have a play with a Tracer and a 650 V-Strom.
Found the Tracer's bars a little too wide for my liking though, but the Suzuki was the most comfortable bike I've ever sat on.

Done in my cartilage in my right knee and hobbled to changing room, put on my bike gear, then rode 20 + miles home, to be greeted by the (now ex) wife, who had to try and hold the bike while I made sure it was put away in the garage. Then she took me to hospital, all in it was pretty sore but deffinetly couldn't move my leg once I got home, just as well it was only resting on the right footpeg, don't know if I'd been able to change gear if it was the left leg :b
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - nickodemon - 30-10-15
Today i changed the oil, oil filter, yesterday i swapped wheels with one of my other fazers as the bike didn't like ruts in the road or white lines. it had new tyres, but the profile was very steep, so i swapped with a flatter profile and it seems to have worked. I have 3 fazer thou gen 1's at the moment! Tomorrow i am changing the front sprocket and air filter. I hate having bikes that aren't serviced and running as they should... I should name them, so everyone knows which one i'm talking about :lol I have my first one which i bought new in jan 2005, it is full monty 2008 r1 front end, r6 shock, carbon and loads of other stuff, second one is standard with f.s.h, third one is same colour as first one, but has earlier r1 front end, r6 rear shock, part service history ( the one i'm servicing at the moment. I will be selling either No 2 or 3 in the next few weeks :'(

When I stacked my FZ750 (one week from new), I cracked the scaphoid in my right wrist. Picked the bike up and rode it straight to the dealer to order replacement parts. Got a cast put on the wrist afterwards, supposed to immobilise the thumb, but I deliberately broke the loop of it that went around my thumb so I could ride the bike. I could only get a thin inner glove over my fingers - they got foccin freezing riding up the M11 to work :lol

Not too keen on white..... I dont know how to do it but are there not ways of overlaying a picture with different colours, so i can look at them? I am thinking of a light purple shade...[/quote]
