What's wrong the gunmetal now... Tongue

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - apage16 - 29-10-13

Today I exacted a short to mid term Gun-gum and stainless welding wire repair on the popped collector plate.


Before:


[smg id=1322]


During:


[smg id=1317]


After:


[smg id=1320]


That should hold it!


Hopefully until it's too cold to ride so I can set about removing the downpipes and welding them up without worrying about having her laid up. Or until I can afford the obvious upgrade to stainless pipes!

You have got it all wrong, it is the fastest of all colours Yamaha Racing; Red, Black, White, Smile which means acceleration is in the M1 league. :eek  The M1 in blue is the slowest, as is the blue R1, blue fazer 1000 and blue fazer 600.  :rollin They even look slow in blue  :eek


Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - esetest - 29-10-13

Tapped the holes left by removing the ais & fitted the bolts , hardest part of the job was finding an 8mm tapered tap , luckily I was able to borrow one .

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - lew600fazer - 29-10-13

Washed her, went for a ride in the mountains with a mate, then it chucked it down big style, come on whats that all about this is Spain for fecks sake washed her when I got home and left in the car port on the side stand good wind blowing so will soon dry out the bites I cannot get to.

First ride to the office after I put in a new cam chain and a pair of datatool heated grips.  nice 1hour ride from Hampshire to Dorset with lovely n warm hands and smooth engine.  Happy bunny!

Fitted lever protectors on to stop my Oxford Muffs pushing against the levers. Seems to work. Also had new gold DID chain fitted. The last chain lasted a proxy 4500 miles. Expecting at least 12k from this chain.

[/quote]Fit a scottoiler, it'll last at least twice as long next time.

Went out for a sunset ride to scrub off my slippery new Metzeler Z6 front tyre.

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - dBfazer600 - 31-10-13

Tested the ignition wiring and all is fine. Took the carbs off and started to clean them and I is now drinking beer.

4500 miles :eek  Fit a Scottoiler... my DID VX chain done almost 16k so far and been adjusted 3 times (two of those was when the wheel was out for a tyre) since.  I did fit a new sprocket a couple of weeks ago (at 15k), but at £8/each that's not a big deal.

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Mattsplat - 31-10-13

4.5K!!

Lubricate your chain man!

You should see at least 30k from a chain...

I'm in total agreement. My chain has only been adjusted 3 times in about 8000 miles. My scotoiler is off at the moment but as soon as I've got some new clear tube I'll put it back on. I'm using Chain and Cable spray grease nicked from work and it's doing a great job but the fly off is horrendous. I can't believe how filthy the bike has got after the thorough clean i gave it a few weeks back. Our second car is going soon so no more choice between cage or bike.

I lube my chain after every ride. It was a cheap chain that the garage put on. The previous DID chain did at least 15k.

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Dead Eye - 31-10-13

Finally finished up the wiring for the heated grips Smile

Decided that since work was quiet that I would go out for a ride... but the battery was flat Sad So had my first foray into the delight of bump starting a bike... got it on my 3rd try and due to not being very fit had a lack of oxygen in my brain and put the side stand down whilst it was still in gear *facepalm* engine cut out... So off I go and bump it again, got it straight away though thank god...

The battery being flat gave me an excuse to go out for an "extended" play ^^ Had a bit of fun with a random biker who caught up to on the A46 before doing some twisty bits towards Wooten-Under-Edge and back down the A38 for a lazy end to the ride. Weather was miserable, roads were a bit damp and the sky was threatening rain but thoroughly enjoyed going out ^^

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - paulchucky - 31-10-13

whilst working my bollox off i dreamt about taking her somewhere in the country and giving her a real good thrashing  :lol :lol :lol :lol

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - johnnyg - 31-10-13

Saw a small patch of blue sky and took it as a sign that I had to go out, got about 10 miles and it started coming down in lumps but it's only water and we don't dissolve!

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - apage16 - 31-10-13

Stalled her in front of a Foxeye rider at the lights opposite the Tower of London. Awwwwwkward!  :o

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - scubamarkt - 01-11-13

I changed the brake fluid on the front then gave her a nice oil and filter change
