Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - tommyardin - 17-04-16
But I would still pull on them very hard whilst stationary just to be sure with cheap imports, If you do snap it at least your life is not at risk. 8)

Put my new chinky levers on, £15 well spent i reckon. Then went for a quick blast. Then washed it.
Are they the ones made out of carrot that snap the first time you pull hard on the front brake or are they the celery ones. :eek
Don't listen to me I haven't got a clue what I'm talking about.

Dunno what you're talkin about tommy i got the carrot ones before & they helped me brake in the dark 8)
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Aky208 - 17-04-16
Did a bit of overall cleaning, re-oiled the chain and fitted one of these:
![[Image: image_2.jpeg]](http://s1057.photobucket.com/user/9akermanj/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_2.jpeg.html)
Haven't wired it up yet but looking to use a switched live from ignition.

Yes I am but that's not the reason in my case, my bike was first reg beginning of May and has kept the same MOT date.

MOT just done on Friday with no printed advisories.
Guy recommened new chain and sprockets so back end stripped ready for parcel arriving tomorrow!

Was a nice real easy job surprisingly! Make sure you have a chain riveting tool handy for the final link as I never :lol
Took me longer to clean all the crap from the casings and re-allign the rear wheel than it did to do the job itself!
I was also hoping that a new correctly tensioned chain would help to eliminate some of the typical Yam gear change clunk, but, nope....

Well you can put your mind at rest, I yanked back on them really hard an they didn't snap.
[size=1em]Plus they are cnc billet aluminium which is very unlikely to snap, the weak points are the pivot points, but it uses the original yamaha bolt so therefore is no weaker than the orginal levers. The other weak point is the adjustable span point which has a stainless bolt in them which could shear but unlikely with the stresses involved in this application.[/size]
So i'm happy.

I Good I'm really pleased cos I would have hated the thought of of panic and fear when the twat in the Ford Focus failed to spot you and pulls out giving you milliseconds to respond and the lever then letting you down.
I just gave a little shiver thinking about that.
imagine just having to rely on a Fazer rear brake in an emergency, the two extremes are almost nothing to full rear wheel lockup. with little to no feel or feedback.
Right I'm off now to change my boxers.

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - dazza - 21-04-16
Serviced the exup valve and adjusted the cables, still got a slight rattle which is irritating. Goes away when I put my earlugs in though.
I don't know if it's just psychological but it definitely feels punchier low down
