Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - nickodemon - 08-11-15
Fazer No 3 has been serviced, cleaned and greased, lubed and adjusted everywhere. Fitted stainless bolts in a few places and it's looking a lot better than when i bought it
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - joebloggs - 08-11-15
Painted the rear disc centre
Caliper next, really not looking forward to trying to key in some of the fiddly corners

I found a few sellers having those on eBay for $40 or so, not cheap for a few bolts

Are they m8 x 25 like the 600? If so why not use stainless button heads, not expensive and no special shoulder on the stock ones (well not on the 600)
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - nickodemon - 08-11-15
The disc bolts were rubbed down and painted :lol This bike is for work, so not spending too much on it.. I replaced the mudguard bolts and a few other ones with stainless

I have not removed them, my torque wrench is broken, so I would rather not take them out until I know I can put them back with the proper torque.
They appear to be common to a multitude of bikes though: FZ1, FZ6, R1, R6, FJR and Bolt and many others.

I've only ever used a torque wrench when rebuilding an engine, and even then have always knocked a few pounds off the recomended settings after a rather costly accident when using the manufacturer's recomended settings
As for everything else I check the bolts after a couple of days just to make sure nothings vibrating undone (safer than relying on torque settings only to find I missed one during re assembly)

That's what I have done for most of my life (I am 63), until I actually got a torque wrench a few years ago. Checking myself against it I found I had a tendency to overtorque pretty much everything... so I developed a religion and I now use it for at least some of the more critical items. I do not routinely use it on everything, but it looked like the brake bolts would be one of those more critical parts. Before the wrench broke, I last used it on the rear axle and on the oil filter for instance. The hardware on bikes being somewhat smaller than equivalent hardware on cars, I am even more concerned about overtorquing, so I have just ordered a replacement torque wrench.
Regardless of torque wrench or not, I also like to check after a couple hundred miles, particularly when bolts secure aluminium parts (most everything on bikes), as they tend to expand and contract more than steel and therefore tend to get bolts lose. Typical examples being aluminium wheels on cars, these will get lose if not torqued properly.
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Didier9 - 12-11-15
Rode the Fazer to the shop for an Ivan jet kit, and checking the choke (has never worked since I bought this bike in July, was not a problem until now).
Temperature dropped down to the 50's since the middle of last week, at least in the morning (I know, it's terrible) and the lack of choke started showing. The bike would not start or would not keep running after starting. Since it has been going on for about a week, and I only have a typical 15 minutes ride to work, the battery was not recharging sufficiently after the lengthy attempts to start the engine, so this morning I had to put the charger to start the bike.
I had planned to have the jet kit installed anyway and I was indeed waiting for the temperature to drop enough to make sure the shop could see and fix the choke problem. Hopefully all this will be done in one day, I miss my bike already...
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Didier9 - 12-11-15
Stopped at the shop over lunch. Carbs were pretty cruddy, he will have to replace the gaskets, so I will have the bike tomorrow. He said I probably won't recognize it
The bike was already fantastic before, looking forward to ride over the week end!
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Didier9 - 14-11-15
Pretty frustrated rider here. The truck that was supposed to bring the gaskets today did no show up, so no bike for the week end
The worst part is that this looked like a great week end for riding, not sure how many more we are going to have this year.
It's in times like this that I really want a second bike...

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - unfazed - 14-11-15
Just collected a set of Metzeler sportec M7 RR for the 1000.
Now to fit them and the Wilbers fork springs.
Back to playing with the suspension settings again, now all I need is a few dry days :'(
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - nickodemon - 14-11-15
I've fitted the purple wheel rim tape :lol Let me know your thoughts... The pics make it look brighter than it is. I think the flash didn't help
before and after....
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - bigbluebear - 14-11-15
That's your second Fazer yeah????.....what master cylinder is that off
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - nickodemon - 14-11-15
Yes it fazer no2 was no 3 but sold other one yesterday. It's the standard 2002 r1 master cylinder and fluid reservoir.
