Made a new numberplate/indicator bracket after the epic fail of the last one on the egg run a few Sundays back. Undertrays are cool,but need some fabricating where indicators and numberplates are concerned. New rear pads to go on tomorrow. Should be ready for a whizz out on Sunday.

Got the  :faz its 18th MOT  Smile

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - agricola - 18-04-19

Well, Tuesday actually. Apologies. Too tired to do much yesterday. Donington Park, unrestricted noise noise day. Pretty much full up. 99% track and race bikes I reckon. And me on the humble fazer. More room on the track for the late sessions in the afternoon, maybe only a dozen or so for the last one, bags of room. Lovely day out. Back again at the end of April, going to try the Inters.

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - agricola - 19-04-19

Fitted the new airbox to injector rubbers along with the new clamps, re-checked the injector balances just in case, all good.

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - mickvp - 19-04-19

Yesterday, actually. I took the ' winter ' Fazer to Barrie Walters of Premier Motorcycle Care, Whitchurch, Shropshire, for a treatment of ACF 50. Takes around two hours. Wash , shampoo , rinse , dry , apply ACF 50 , final wipe down. Protected as much as possible for the next 12 months. Taking my other Fazers there in the next few months. Barrie is a top man. Founder of Raven Riders Motorcycle Club, Raven Cafe, Prees Heath, Shropshire.

Thats pretty much how I do mine 3 or 4 times a year. I apply the ACF50 with a low pressure gun around 5psi, no more. or a lot of it just goes to atmosphere. I really rate the stuff, super at renovating bumpers on motor cars too

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - coffee - 23-04-19

Looks good,but have never been a fan of jet washing bikes,I used to do car valeting a few years back and the problems we got through steam cleaning engines were horrendous,sometimes when you finally got 'em running as they warmed up you'd get condensation and moisture in all kinds of nooks and crannies,it's a bit different with bikes I know but just not for me.I do rate ACF50 though,cracking stuff. Smile

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Anquetil - 23-04-19

I agree totally regarding jet washing motorbikes and just use a hosepipe at home. Barrie was using the jet at a low setting and was very careful and was fully aware of the dangers, having done hundreds of bikes. He said that in the wrong hands, ( mine ! ), it is not a good idea and that a hosepipe should be used.  After two winters of use the underside of the bike was absolutely filthy and needed some assistance to move the crud. I have been using ACF50 for years and all my bikes are treated. As you say, coffee, it's cracking stuff and really does what it says on the tin, which is needed here in North Wales, as at the slightest hint of freezing conditions the salt is laid down.
What type/make of high pressure gun do you use, agricola ? I would consider doing as you do in future.

I use this. Bought it from Stafford bike show a few years ago, cost £10 as I recall, there still about the same price now. I only use it for the one task, thats ACF50ing the bike. Never had a problem with it
