Had a ride out to a mates in staxton north Yorkshire only about 70miles round trip but it's a decent road so I enjoyed it.

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - noggythenog - 12-07-13

Put the fazer on the trailer & set off for a trouble free drive home to wales, leaving scotland at 0930am Smile .....350 miles later & the car decided to die :\ .


An RAC visit followed by a recovery truck followed by an eventual recovery home seen me walk through the door at 1110pm :'(




On the plus side the  :faz [size=78%] is ok [/size] 8) , & my only reliable transport! 8)

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - nick crisp - 12-07-13

Yeah, but Noggy, you're back, you've got the bike AND IT'S STILL SUNNY! Smile Smile  And it looks like you had a good time - more pluses than minuses in my book. 8)

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Enceladus - 12-07-13

fitted a new set of iridium plugs.
looks like the old set were the original ones that came with the bike (2001 & 9k miles) !
fired up with a very light touch of the starter Big Grin

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - nick crisp - 12-07-13

Nothing. Why? Cos it looks like I've come down with a viral infection - was sitting in the garden in hot sunshine with a pullover on, shivering! Someone cheer me up... :'(

Cut my recently aquired double bubble screen  ,it was lifting the airflow to a stupid height,right at your head,doh,


So Sunday will prove if the clean air undisturbed is quieter than disturbed air.

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - littlejohno - 13-07-13

Purchased some redex and plug resisitors to get fitted later Smile and hopefull stop my bogging issue

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - slimwilly - 13-07-13

Thought about the smart gold chains !!!!!!!! :rolleyes




So cleaned the sideplates , bought some metallic gold,brass airfix paint and painted it,,the only way to see if it stays on is to try it  :eek

Dabbing the paint on with a pad of kitchen roll

There,, all blingy for £1.70


Leave it in the sun for a couple of hours to bake then re-lube the chain ,i never cleaned the whole chain,just the sideplates with white spirit.

So the cut down screen and gold chain,,haha, it's coming together.

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Farjo - 13-07-13

Written in retrospect: balanced carbs - took about 40 minutes, a lot of which was spent squinting for adjustment screws :rolleyes A squirt of WD40 helped as they then glint in the sunlight.

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - red98 - 13-07-13

ordered front sprocket nut and clutch lever for newly aquired 600,and oil filter for the mighty thou  :lol .....wemoto £21 for the lot delivered  Wink

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - nick crisp - 13-07-13

I never used to trust aftermarket oil filters, as one mechanic told me they're generally not very well made - anybody else heard similar?

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - slimwilly - 13-07-13

No !!!


I expect and trust them so far,, for my bike and all my cars and vans,even my new hilux has aftermarket filters.

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Skippernick - 13-07-13

New front tyre on.
Cleaned and greased the spindle etc whilst the wheel was out.
Next brake lines. Gulp.
