An hour to kill - Andy Clap - 02-09-14
What can you do on a FZS600 in an hour?
Tonight changed oil and filter (Castrol Power 1 and K&N), air filter (K&N), new spark plugs including checking the gap (no need, spot on). Bang on an hour.

Re: An hour to kill - Andy Clap - 02-09-14
Hm, maybe I should modify my question to "what to do on a FZS600 with a spare 10/20/30 minutes".
My last brake fluid change took about a week 'cause I couldn't get the air out and slammed the shed door for 6.5 days.
Re: An hour to kill - MC680x0 - 02-09-14
Half of the job is having the right tools mate; the other half is the knowledge and competence.
I use a vacuum bleeder - bought off fleabay - which you attach to the bleed nipples and pump it, it then creates a vacuum in the system and "pulls" the fluid out - or the air - depending how well you have done. It took minutes. I dont know what on earth it took you a week ??? Get the right tool mate.

We'll, took a couple of hours, with a week in the middle after having a paddy an going "FOC this". And during that week it pretty much bled itself with the air making it's way back to the reservoir!

You can buy cheaper in eBay etc but not sure what the quality is
Also works on cars to improve brakes on there too
