New battery in the 1000.

There's a stupid clip buried inside the frame that is very difficult to get to, so you need to take the airbox off to reach it.
Then I discover that the clutch cable has two metal sections (presumably to hold the bend in the right places or something) which are an absolute bastard to wiggle through the narrow gaps around the engine and, even worse, by the side of the engine and through the front of the frame to the clutch lever
By the time I *finally* got the old one out and the new one in place it was dark and I've only got a little hand-held fluorescent light to see by, so there was no way I could get the airbox back in place etc.
I'll have to finish it tomorrow...
Blimey!! I thought it was awkward on my FZ1 :eek

OGRI : Heres a bad memory for you, wet 4" clinker breeze on a cold winters days wearing your finder tips out till they bled. Only being able to lay 3 courses of the ba**ards before they wagged about, while being payed by the yd. Dam going to have to go for a lie down and a couple of aspirin till the thought wears off lol
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Grahamm - 27-03-19
A follow up to my previous post:
After running out of daylight yesterday, I got back to reassembling my bike although getting the airbox back on was a nuisance until I undid all the collars that secure the rubbers to the throttle bodies and smeared them with some red rubber grease.
In any case, I'm glad I did the change because the clutch is *so* much smoother and easy to use now :thumbup

Christ thats going back some mate. my old man really struggled when guage went from four bricks to the foot to 300mm lol. he reckoned metric would never catch on, there was too many numbers in it
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - steve 10562cc - 28-03-19
We were paid by the yard but the site agent measured by the metres, yep thieving t**t. when I started my apprentice ship was either the first or second year we had gone metric. Metric was great easy to work areas and volume out bo**cks to yards, feet, and inches.
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - mtread - 28-03-19
Just think of those poor Egyptians building the pyramids. Being paid by the cubit
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - steve 10562cc - 28-03-19
only one bit of advice for the old Egyptians use smaller bricks you can lift.
