That's awesome mate! Thought I might have got mine out on the bike for the first time this year but never happened yet...
Keep taking it easy I'm sure she'll love it soon!

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Lez72 - 29-09-13
Today I took the front mudguard off the boxeye and cleaned it inside and out. I am currently waiting for my starter and generator covers to come back from the powdercoaters so in the meantime I have just been removing little bits and pieces and cleaning them up.
Over the past 12 months of ownership I have
Replaced Air filter, Fuel filter, Oil filter (all genuine Yamaha) and oil change (with a little Activ8 added), replaced plugs, fitted and adjusted new DID gold chain, fitted new Continental RA2 rear tyre, fitted front and rear 'Venhill' brakelines with fresh fluid, removed all calipers and serviced them and fitted new pads, flushed and replaced radiator coolant, fitted 'SP Engineering' carbon Motogp exhaust, balanced carbs and reset TPS and put a dollop of 'STP' total fuel system cleaner in the tank, fitted new gear change rubber, got rid of the crappy looking rear hugger and fitted a genuine 'Yamaha' chain guard instead, replaced the RHS oil gallery plug and washer, fitted colour matched 'Motrax' crash bungs, fitted jack up kit, fitted grippy pillion seat cover and 'Oxford' digital clock to the top yoke. I think that's everything :\
Oh yes, I've also managed to ride it a couple of times too :o
Wish list, remove front forks and paint fork bottoms and fit 'Hyperpro' springs with fresh fluid and replace rear shock.
Bloody bikes :'(
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Punkstig - 29-09-13
Minor service- oil and filter, topped up coolant overflow tank which was 'ahem' empty! Because of that I checked the level at the radiator but that was full so happy days.
Had a look at modding the front speedo drive to fit the thundercat wheel, and I do believe I've done it (not ridden it yet) and it was all very easy, a little too easy!
Can only post 1 pic per post with the ipad soooo-
Standard thundercat front wheel speedo drive at wheel-
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Punkstig - 29-09-13
Inside wheel after rubber seal, metal ring washer and drive lugs removed-
Amazing, notches are nearly identical to fazer wheel!
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Punkstig - 29-09-13
The tabs are too thick so need grinding down to same thickness the wheel is
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Punkstig - 29-09-13
Fazer speedo drive inner fitted with original T'cat washer and rubber seal
All went back onto the forks with no resistance and wheel spins freely, fingers crossed when I take it to work tomorrow it will all work as it should, I don't see any initial issues but I'm assuming the speedo will be out slightly due to the tyre profile difference, but it should be minimal!

Rode to high Wycombe to meet Paul and buy an exhaust for the fazer . Was a good run and did 140 miles at 52 mpg with the misses on the back . Got home and had to fit it asap .
Thanks again to red98 aka Paul .
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Doubleclix - 29-09-13
The missus woke me up at 5 am, so hopped on my bike and headed to Whitstable in Kent, then headed back for a nice ride along the A28 then the A251 back to Faversham. Then proceeded to clean and polish followed by an oil change, then a second ride out for 30 miles or so. Really got the bug back again now - just in time for winter!

That seat looks well painful for a bloke, kinda reminds me of a rampant rabbit!
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - robby boy - 29-09-13
Rode over to Portree on Skye yesterday, booked into a b&b for the night, had a few pints round the pubs, got up this morning quick run round the island, back onto the mainland and home, around 430miles in 2 days, in brilliant sunshine and not a midge in sight..
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - mickvp - 29-09-13
Rode to crianlarich, then down to brig o Turk and over the dukes pass, and then home again last aberfoyle and balloch. A quick 100 miles. Need to do dukes pass again soon, cracking road if the weathers good.

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Doubleclix - 29-09-13
That it was. Feel like I might need to clear something up - she was snoring! :rollin
The oil change was what chuffed me up the most though, as for the last week or so the gears (particularly 1st and 2nd) were running rough. I put some crappy Halfords own 5w-40 oil in and since then not been running well. So put some Castrol 10w-30 in and ran sweet as a nut (that was the reason for the second rideout). Mind you the missus doing her own thing today was a bit of a bonus lol
