Ohhhh! I think I have a little damp spot, check out this bad boy.
Yes may favorite man with the big white van delivered this bad boy to me today, made me smile after the disappointment of being delivered a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge from Yodafone yesterday that had a duff nano sim card included in the package.18 mile bike ride tomoz to the nearest Yodafone shop to grab another nano sim.
But in all fairness to the magic Yoda they have been brilliant for the last 20 odd years I have been with them, I have 4 phones on my account: Me, Wife, Daughter and Son's and this is the first clitch we have had with them. They reduced the contract down from £37 a month to £28 wavered the £30 upfront charge and put a £5 gift into my account that can help pay the next bill.
Would I recommend Yodafone, goes without saying.
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - TOADY - 14-10-16
i wonder if they make them for the slower black model

Hi Toady
I contacted Yamaha and they said that the Slow Black FZS 600 don't actually need a rear shock absorber.
The thinking behind their statement was if someone was thick enough to purchase a slow (Black FZS) machine they most likely would not be aware enough to even notice the bumps, and, as the machine is not capable of anything above moderate speeds handling is unlikely to need improvement. :moon :finger

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - TOADY - 14-10-16
Etch primer and two coats of silver get me sorted then. :lol
I'll have you know that I've just removed all brake fluid from my reservoirs, and removed all 3 calipers. This 2.2 kilo weight saving must surely add 12 to 13 mph by my guestimate :b
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Ckennedy - 14-10-16
Washed, polished, engine oil and filter change

I heard that customising the seat not only saves on weight but is also a safety feature which stops you completely coming off the bike in the event of a spill, comes in various colours to match your bikes paintwork.
Can also give an increase in speed and positively aids acceleration
Please see the attached image:
The model shown is the out and out sports customisation, a touring version is available for carrying pillions, its called the twin peak.
Hope you find this valuable as a safety feature and helps you feel more secure whilst riding. :rolleyes
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - TOADY - 14-10-16
That's on my "I need one" list. I'll probably end up getting one once I've finished removing the petrol from my tank and the oil from the engine. 1 litre of fluid is equivalent to 1 kg this 21 kilo weight saving will see me easily hitting 190mph in a headwind if my basic calculations are correct :rollin

Your calcs are spot on, we must use the same calculation formula, mine came out at 191.27 MPH with a 13 MPH headwind also calculating in the wind speeds occurred traveling at that velocity.
Do post some pics in here after you finish the customisation it might encourage others to follow suit.
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - TOADY - 15-10-16
I will post some photo at the end of this modification journey..for now I am contemplating future modifications.
I need to google bamboo handlebars and see if their is a significant weight saving to be had. I've also contemplated using helium in my tyres, and riding whilst facing the rear of the bike so the curviture of my spine improves the Co drag efficiency .

Hi Toady
I think we should bring an end to this as we will get our backsides kicked form the admin as it is: 'What did you do with your FAZER today' post.
But you will notice that the author and proliferater of the post should also have his or her arse kicked as they very disrespectfully using the lower case 'f' when spelling FAZER.
But I still look forward to seeing the completed project, the only thing I would add is be careful with the Bamboo Bars, I will say only one thing 'Woodworm' :agree
top I am in the process now of converting the Fazer to left hand drive.
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - TOADY - 15-10-16
I agree. Back to being sensible again.
Ordered a new rear tyre today. 71 quid delivered. I work for a college in Essex. Just so happens the nice people in the bike workshop will fit and balance for me. Yay

On my way home this evening, musing on what had been a monumentally grim 12 hours at work, I rounded the day off in suitably crap style.
For anyone else as distracted/stupid as me: the stretch of roadworks at Junction 10 of the M4 westbound now has average speed cameras.
:wall
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - unfazed - 21-10-16
Put 23 litres of unleaded into the 22 litre 600 tank this morning :lol
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - fazersharp - 21-10-16
Are you sure it was unleaded
