Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - nick crisp - 14-09-13
Just did a short afternoon run to take advantage of the only bit of decent weather we're likely to have this weekend - A361 to Chipping Norton, A44 to Evesham, downhill on Fish Hill for first time but too much traffic to really enjoy it, A46 to Alcester then Stratford-upon-Avon (boring bit), A422 to Banbury, then back home on A361. Nice fast A road route, 110 miles, happy
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - nsr500v4 - 14-09-13
Left home and went to Moffat then M74/M6 to the Lakeland Motor Museum spent time wandering around, worth a visit if you havent been then home again via Moffat to get off the motorway! God they r boring on a bike

Be careful not to kink said fuel hose when placing tank back in place or you'll be chasing around a dodgy spluttering engine.
replace with a decent filter.yamaha or k&n, apparently some aftermarkets dont fit too snug.

up at 04:30 for the 7:30 ferry from cairnryan to belfast headed south through portaferry to newcastle, had a bite to eat, down to newry, back north to dundrod and back to belfast for the 19:30 ferry back to cairnryan and home to bed about 23:30, 270 dry miles, a good day out.
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - red98 - 15-09-13

Were there many bikes about round Dundrod ? I love having a blast round there. It is a fantastic run down to Newcastle etc!
I used to live not far from Dundrod and used to get up there often, used to sit at the Joey Dunlop stand and just listen to the silence, sounds daft I know. Would just shut my eyes and remember the great times I had at the Ulster over all the years. I can still see Joey &Robert on the podium along with other greats even before there time, Redman, Hailwood, Agostini. Daft I know
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Lez72 - 15-09-13
Fitted and bled new Venhill stainless front brake lines to match the rear and replaced fuel filter 8) If anyone is thinking of fitting stainless lines I suggest you give these a go. Top quality and much easier to fit than other top name lines I have fitted to other bikes in the past. Good customer support too
P.S. I hate bleeding brakes :'(
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - unfazed - 15-09-13
Saturday, went for a short scenic spin with my wife, Left home at noon, Coachford, Macroom, Killarney, dinner in Kate Kearneys Cottage, (Met 4 very unfriendly BMW riders and many friendly non BMW riders in Kates ) through the infamous Gap of Dungloe, Black Valley, Molls Gap, Coffee in the Avoca Cafe, Ladies View, Killarney, Millstreet, over the Old Butter Road and home again at 6pm aout 150 mile in all.

did'nt have time to go the NW 200 track, there were a few bikes at dundrod 8-10, a nice run down to Newcastle we stopped at the first car park on the left but when we were leaving there were lots of bikes parked farther up the street, it was a good day out, definately do it again.
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - noggythenog - 16-09-13
Took it for a spin & foc it is handling sweet! 8)
Nothing fell off
I didnt fall off
Dropped it off at the garage to get my front lamp & indicators wired up.
Went to the spray shop with a mystery mod.....expensive job but will be worth it being done properly & always gonna get good money if i sell it on in future.
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - david095 - 16-09-13
nothing exciting, fitted a centre stand, makes it feel a lot more stable to work on

All going well but had a moment when white van man decided to ignore the stop sign and was practically on top of me, managed to swing round him thankfully nothing coming the other way. We convinced to stop and although I do not speak much Spanish I think he got the gist of the conversation . Apart from that 180kms of sun and fun.

Fitted 2 new coils to a stuttering machine that is getting on my man boobies now. To say the coils did not solve the bucking bronco is an understatement. To be honest its the not knowing what is wrong with my pride and joy that is doing my one brain cell in.
Thing is how much money do I throw at the problem?
Any how the tank cover fits a treat but is no bloody good if the bike insists on throwing me from the saddle.

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - nick crisp - 21-09-13
Got it Ivanised by Mike The Guru over t'Luke's place, so got to have a good sniff round R1 fork conversions, single-sided s/arms and copious amounts of carbon dipping too - yum! :b
Then had a cracking ride home along the A4 (Bath, Calne, Chippenham, Marlborough, Hungerford) and up via Wantage and Faringdon to home. V. fast as A4 was pretty empty after Bath, jeez you can get some serious speed going on there when it's like that! :b :b
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Davebo - 22-09-13
Fitted a Rentech luggage rack. What a ballache! but worth it now it's fitted.
Will attach photies tomorrow.
Shame I'm not going on the road trip now I have everything.

Why a backache? 4 bolts, and it's on on mine.
