Yep, Merc lump it is. Driven about 500 miles this week, so doing a basic service this weekend.

[/quote]Is the Fazer finished?. Thought you had some carb issues.
Re: Whoever posts last is best - fazerscotty - 03-05-21
Almost there - needs a quick road test to settle a few things (clutch cable adjustment & balance carbs) and then its sorted.

I know mine did yesterday on the first ride since finishing it. Took a couple of 10mm open ended with me to adjust the gearlever position. Hope all goes well :thumbup

Since I last rode it in September '20, I've fitted progressive fork springs, had a blood clot removed from my leg and given the Thou a bit of a spruce up (new clutch and throttle cables, oil & filters and carbs ultrasonically cleaned), so I'm not sure what to expect.

[/quote]Well your health is the priority, everything else is metal and plastic. Hope you’re now fit and well and ready to enjoy your revitalised Fazer. I suppose there’s no way of changing the throttle cables without removing the carbs, as would like to replace mine as a precautionary measure.

Changed my cables purely by chance - I'd taken the carbs out to clean them and noticed one of the cables was frayed. Best to change it before it breaks at the worst time...........
Changed as a pair.

Planning on changing them soon, as a precaution. Would really spoil a trip if one let go whilst abroad. Not exactly a roadside job. :eek

I think it may have been easier if:
a). I wasn't rushing to do stuff between my daytime jobs
or
b). I wasn't suffering from arthritis in my hands.
hence the odd FFS. :lol :lol
Re: Whoever posts last is best - robbo - 14-05-21
Nothing worse than having to spin too many plates, as concentration levels drop a bit I suppose. My wife suffers from arthritis in her hands, so can sympathise on that score. I now have to limit myself to one job at a time, or else nothing will get done properly :lol .
