Took out a fence panel and got it in the back garden. I've got a puncture in the front wheel so need somewhat safe to leave it on bricks when I take the wheel for repair/replacement.

Went for a late blat to make the most of the sunshine before it rains for the rest of summer. Tootled up past Blubberhouses then back again but the fuel light came on as I turned around so had to ride like nun to get home. :-(

Hey christo, if you got someone else to balance the carbs for you then out of interest how much did it cost?,mine could do with a fettle and although it would be easier to just ask my local garage since you've mentioned it & you is in the land of expensive then would be good to have a ball park figure to compare against.
cheers!

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Ian-man - 22-06-13

I had my riding assessed to qualify to ride Northumbria Bloodbikes bike.

Paul (the mechanic) is a friend of mine - for fitting the plugs and balancing the carbs, he charged me £50. Minus £10, as I'm a starving student and he's a nice chap, and minus another £5 for finding some info on his bike on the interwebs.

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - ponkster - 22-06-13

Fitted a thou rear shock to my 600 after swapping the springs over, not yet given it a ride to try it out to decide how to set it up.

Likewise. Again. Aaaargh! So gave bike a quick polish for Cassington, cos I can't let Red98 get away with that! (although I'm guessing he's got the kind of bike that if you looked at it too long it'll probably burn your retinas out  :rolleyes :lol )
