:lol rode mine to the mot, passed, no advisories. Rode home. Its very easy really red98!!!!!
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - tommyardin - 08-04-18
Did nothing with my Fazer or my lil Honda. They both came out of the shed ya week or two ago for MOT's and I decided not to put them away as I am scooting about on the C90. They are locked under a long lean
-to beside my house, on passing them today I noticed that they are both covered in a very fine pinky grey dust that looks as fine like talcum does. Now I know I love my bikes and treat them well but I draw the line at talc.
Wtf is going on. :eek
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - dazza - 09-04-18
Warm air coming up from the Saharah I would imagine.
My ex mother in law turned up at my door last night with two suit cases in her hands and asked if she could stay for a couple of days.
Of course I said.
When I opened my front door this morning she was covered in it too.
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - tommyardin - 09-04-18
Serve the bitch right, she deserved it just showing up like that, it's only fair, some people need to learn a lesson :lol

Got my bench polishing mop out 8)
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Trebus - 09-04-18
Looking good! What compounds and mop heads are you using to achieve those results? Have got a small bench grinder but never had a go at polishing with it. Normally just go by hand with Autosol and finish with Belgom Alu.
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - fazersharp - 09-04-18
Forget that - by hand - if I can get if off easy then its on the bench. I got all my stuff from here http://www.thepolishingshop.co.uk/acatalog/Polishing_Compounds_Menzerna_-p1.html I used the finest grade yellow one but they were pretty shiny to start with. I have 3 grades of soap and the matching 3 types of mop and do not mix mops with soaps.
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - fazersharp - 09-04-18
Just looked at my receipt and I have
yellow Menzema p175
blue p164
green 439t
all in quarter bar size
close stitch mop to start with the first grade soap (cant remember it that is blue or green)
G quality mop with the next soap
WDR loose mop for the yellow finishing.
These are what I decided on after a little reading on the subject
WARNING - IT IS ADDICTIVE.
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Trebus - 09-04-18
Cheers Fazersharp, much obliged!
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Trebus - 09-04-18
Double post!
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - fazersharp - 09-04-18
Here some more I did a while ago but because its just steel I had to lacquer it but it still gos rusty so I will just stick to doing the ally stuff http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php/topic,17296.msg244380.html#msg244380
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - robbo - 10-04-18
Took the rad off to clean all the tar that had congealed on the front of the engine after riding on a newly surfaced road in France last year. While I was at it I thought I'd copper grease the exhaust flange studs. Seven of the nuts came off sweet as proverbial nuts. But there's always one motherfoccer, no matter what you're doing. The nut was fused to the stud which was just about turning, but after a squirt of Halfords Shock and Unlock, it was quickly out. Phew. A stud and a couple of nuts ordered together with pads for the front, so will no doubt do the exup valve tomorrow whilst awaiting the parts.

Great weather in Morecambe today so cleaned her then a ride up to Kirby Lonsdale and finished off at Sunderland point in Overton which is where the photo was taken. Lots of bug splats on the lid too which makes me happy.....summer is finally here, fingers crossed it stays long time.

First ride on the 1000 since last October, having spent the winter and 3000 miles on the 600. Just over 100 miles on the quiet Shropshire and Staffordshire roads. Beautiful day, sunny, 15 degrees. Off to the Raven Cafe, Prees Heath, in the morning to the Big breakfast meet.
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - tommyardin - 14-04-18
Took the Fazer FZS 600 & the Mrs out for a very short run today.
We done some work in the garden to start with today, that earned me a short ride out this arvo.
Pooped down to Loomies Biker Cafe in West Meon, Hants. We grabbed a mug of tea and went home.
Simple!
It was crowded at Loomies, hundreds of bikes, all the time (1 Hour) we were there there were bikes in and out at all times, some really nice bikes some not so nice. Spotted a Fazer there a yellow FZS1000 on a 03 plate, anyone we know?
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Skippernick - 14-04-18
Washed it. Took the centre stand off for a repaint, its in remarkable good condition considering some that i have seen on here. Hopes it relatively easy to get back on!!

Bit of furtling with the lowere fairings that i bought a while back. I wanted the crash bungs and fairings, so ive had to cut out where the bungs fit. Rubbed down and ready for painting, but cant decide orange or black
