Took the two side led marker lights off and connected one under the nose cone, making that my side light as I also took out the standard side light and connected the led for that, not a lot, but least I was tinkering :lol

Didnt do it today did it yesterday but i did a lot to her.
I replaced the knackered rear brake caliper with a 1000 rear caliper i picked up off eBay in excellent condition put new pads in, got a new rear tyre on it and also shortened my exhaust myself as the end was dented and i hated it, plus i prefer a shorter exhaust anyway.
Thinking of changing the levers to gold as the bikes gold anyway and i need to find some of the 03 model mirrors as mine are battered and the 03 ones arms are longer which is better in my opinion.

You saw the pics from when i was playing around with putting a street triple headlight on i guess?
I've always had the fairing on for actual riding, and now after i've had the bike a while i've decided to keep it (and make it work with some clip ons...eventually)
Also i changed the oil, managed to not get oil on the exhausts, win!

Bought a 32mm flat-drive hex socket from the used tools stall at the local boot sale for £1. (sprocket nut).

(Tried to) give it a bit of a clean. Its obvious that I need some more tools and products to help with this. Ol' sponge and bucket that I use for my car not really cutting it. Too many nooks and crannies to get in to on a bike! :lol
On this subject, what can people recommend for cleaning the engine: removing dust etc in hard to reach places, keeping it generally looking (and being) clean, degrease (??) etc?
Have heard of using ACF-50 during the colder months, I dont suppose this is worthwhile in other parts of the year?
Cheers!

Fitted the new back wheel I had to buy because I couldn't get the rear disc mounting bolts off the old one so I could replace the rather worn rear disc. I ended up snapping the little bastards off in the wheel despite the extensive use of penetrating oil and a heat gun. In the end I just couldn't be arsed to get them drilled out and helicoiled so I bought a new wheel which although not cheap is very shiny and sexy. :'(

Today I changed the new uprated front sprocket nut and bendy washer thing. Being proactive inal, I've done it before the old one flys off. Phew. I can go fast again.

Today I started some much needed maintenance by changing the oil and filter. The previous owner had left the bike standing for six months.
Also ordered K&N air filter, NGK plugs, Colourtune and stainless down pipes (mine are holed) and looking for a cheap Carbtune Pro.
Had to remove the rear wheel and replace the tire valve, which was leaking around the seal.
Got hold of a set of feeler gauges to set the valve clearances.

Have changed the spark plugs with CR8EIX iridium ones. Twice :'(
Because the first time I forgot to remove the spacers that are screwed at the top of each plug and once you screw the plug you cannot remove the spacers. Hence removing the plugs again :lol
All done now. The bike has doubled the power now for sure
Re: What have you done to your FZS600 bike today - Val - 03-09-15
Just has changed the rubber footrest covers the mounting screws are a bitch to remove :'(
A lot of penetration fluid and proper phillips head has done the job finally :lol

Finally all done now have changed the rad cover. Using T27 Torx a hammer to tap it and a lot of penetration fluid :lol
The cover is ugly because it is not a perfect fit, too big hence slightly bended in the middle, but who cares LOL
At least the cover was cheap £25 - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/YAMAHA-FZS-FAZER-600-RADIATOR-GRILL-/231679802358?
Here is the final result, looks good enough to me LOL

Maybe if you put these in you wouldn't have the bendy bit?
