If any one needs a number for b and b just this side of Luzerne,Switzerland then i have a cracking place we found on our way back from Mugello.I think the town is called Goldau, near lake Zug.

i had a great ride yesterday down though ashford then hastings  eastbourne and brighton and home  :thumbup

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Jacko - 27-07-13

Changed rear linkage bearings, oil filter and a few litres of Wilkos' finest.

plugs and air filter to check, carbs to balance and its all good for another few years Smile

Went for first ride out with bro-in-law after my sheep collision. Confidence had almost completely gone within the first 2 miles! I was considering selling the big Fazer, it was that bad!!!
It took a couple of hours of bumbling round the trough of bowland before i finally got my mojo back. In almost 100 miles, only the last 20 were enjoyable.
The ride back home across pilling and Hambleton saw my pegs touch down once again.
That'll save me making a for sale sign then Big Grin

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - ChristoT - 27-07-13

Rode it to Tesco.

Got wet.

Got home, read Ride! magazine instead.


Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Ash69 - 27-07-13

Rode it to Wigan Yamaha where they had both a Fazer 8 and an FZ1S to try. 


If Yam had combined the thou lump with the Fazer 8 aerodynamics I'd have happily handed over both bikes and the requisite cash, however there's still that niggle...........


Fazer 8 looks more up to date, and the new version they've improved the suspension, the new fairing is incredibly stable at harumph speeds, and the increase in power over the FZ6, although not huge is noticeable and appreciated due to the way in which it's delivered.


HOWEVER


FZ1S it's 150BHP fer christ sake, and the one I'm looking at has an Akroprovik carbon pipe, so sounds the dogs, but at high speeds the fairing's on a par with my 6 hence buffet at significantly below the 8s harumph . But that acceleration, what a 'kin blast :eek


Kinda guess where I'm going to be spending me cash ..................On tyres, fuel and speeding tickets :lol





Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - adeejaysdelight - 27-07-13

Checked, lubed and adjusted all of the control cables. Striped off the rear panels and sorted the broken fixings (good ol araldite  Wink ). Fitted bar risers. Adjusted the levers and switch gear (after removing the location pins). Fitted my new on board camera. Sat on it

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - stevierst - 28-07-13

Fitted a set of forward facing led indicators, hopefully I won't get as many dirty looks from miffed car drivers now.

Finally refitted my exhaust after sanding and respraying. I've now got a rust free exhaust.
