Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Trebus - 05-05-20
Not today but at the weekend.... started the long overdue fork rebuild. Including holder tool from bicycle frame and sacrificed socket!

Took the Thou for its yearly check - another MOT pass with no advisories :woot :woot
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - robbo - 12-05-20
Nice :thumbup . And in fast red too :thumbup .
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - robbo - 13-05-20
Adjusted the chain for the first time since replacement 8.5k miles ago. Gave a quick check over in preparation for a whizz out tomorrow morning. Ordered a set of rear axle crash bungs.
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - unfazed - 13-05-20
Changed the fork oil on the 600, put 10w back into it, had 15W to see what it was like, but made the front too stiff on compression for my liking on our undulating roads. Back to normal again :woot
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - robbo - 14-05-20
Had an excellent 165 mile thrash around Sussex and Kent's finest B roads. Good job I wore a winter coat, as my leathered up pals, froze their nuts off. Even had to give the new heated grips a minor work out as well. Weekends weather should be much warmer, so no doubt be doing it all over again on Sunday. :lol
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Dudeofrude - 14-05-20
Took her out for her first post lockdown thrashing. Nothing too manic, just a good 75miles around the wolds. Was definitely chilly but worth the sacrifice to be out on the road again
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - agricola - 14-05-20
I didn't find it cold at all today. 50 miles or so around the Dales, full leathers on, plus boots and full facer, just minimising the risks of an off. I have to say, saw a fair few out on the bikes today, and didn't see anyone riding like a twat. Hats off to them all, nice and steady does it for a while

Are those wavy discs any better than std or is it mainly cosmetic? That's a cracking colour scheme, did you have it done?

No they are probably just cosmetic Haha when I bought it the last owner had put shit chinese wavy discs on and they were rusting so I needed to replace them. I did buy some barely used originals but didn't like the look so ended up going for these.
As for the paint job its was on the bike when i bought it, it's a limited edition Abarth Assetto Corse paint scheme that Yamaha did on a prototype when it teamed up with abarth. I've got the paperwork with the bike that shows the original painter paid for the design directly from Abarth in Italy and it was painted at an Abarth dealer in the uk so the design is perfect. Apparently every line has to be a certain mm from the next for it to be the true Abarth style ?♂️ All I know is that there are quite a few copies about but apparently less than 5 'genuinely painted' ones.
The look is Its the only reason i went for this bike ?
I was planning on buying a Fireblade but then saw one of these online and couldn't believe how nice it looked, then did my research, read reviews etc etc and started looking for one to buy
I scoured the country and got mine from up in the lake district (even though I live in Lincolnshire) and about a month after I got it another one came up for sale in Lincoln!...30 miles down the road ?

Great looking livery mate :thumbup It does look a lot like Yamaha's own speed block livery, this is someone's interruption of it on their FZ1 8)

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - coffee - 15-05-20
I went out on mine today for an appointment,by the time I got home which was only a 40 odd mile trip I was absolutely freezing.O.K. I only had my bike coat and jeans on but I really thought it was warmer,it took me ages to get warm when I got home so if any of you are going for a blast WRAP UP! :lol :lol

Fitted shorter rear indicators.

Nice early 7:30 start this morning, taking in some Sussex and Hampshire B and A roads. Although Loomies is closed, the place was very busy. The garage next door doing a roaring trade for coffee and sandwiches. Cops were out in force with a speed trap approaching West Meon village from Loomies. Spotted him just in time,phew.
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Grahamm - 17-05-20
*Finally* managed to get the sleeve out of the bottom of the rear shock on my FZ6!
What a foccing stupid piece of design by Yamaha :2guns
(NB I'll post details of how I did it in the FZ6 forum area for the benefit of anyone else who wants to see how to do it :thumbup )
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - bald_pig - 19-05-20
rebuilt the carbs, running better than ever, just got an off idle stutter to iron out now!
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - robbo - 21-05-20
Another good ride out today, doing the A272 down to the A31 junction, and then a loop into Sussex on the way back. Another 230 miles racked up on the Fazer, which is running sweet as a nut.
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Grahamm - 23-05-20
Having finally got the right (27mm) socket to undo the swingarm bolt on my FZ6 (and a nice sturdy breaker bar!) I finally managed to get the swing arm off.
After using a whole can of degreaser to get all the built-up crap off it (I really should wash the bike more often
) I was pleased to find that the bearings and seals were fine and now it's time to start putting it all back together and installing the braided brake lines and new rear shock :thumbup
