what did you do with your fazer today ?

[nick crisp]

took delivery of mr nick crisps bike for a bit of devilsyam treatment

Well, most of it anyway  :lol


Sweet job BBB, very impressive. Not really jealous  :'(

[lew600fazer]

Had a new Rear ST Angel fitted to replace this one, will keep the old tyre. Will be interested to see inside of the old one to see how well the mushroom plug I did the repair with was fitted.
I will post a photo of the inside of the old one if anyone is curious ??

this is the mushroom plug I fitted to get me home, looks as if it was a good fix

Dropped it!!  :'( :'(
in petrol station after filling it up went to put air in tyres and slow speed spill.
foot was trapped between tank & seat so couldn't wriggle out. no damage to me (except pride) 2 blokes rushed over to help lift bike up for me.
broke LH rear indicator http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php?topic=16314.0 also I noticed a stud had snapped off.
pushed bike to the side and then walked roud looking up and down LH side trying to work out where this inch & half stud with thread at top end that had been tac welded should have been.. I had no idea!!
rode back to my digs put bike on centre stand & looked over it again, still no idea so i decided to look for indentical part on right side & there it was!! the stud off the bottom of the foot peg!!
now question,, what importance is this? do I really need it?
I noticed that my peg rubbers are starting to split but after 13 years I'm not surprised but do I need to replace foot pegs & rubbers or just rubbers?

Sorry to hear of your little "mating" atempt with your bike.
That stud is known as a "hero blob" or a leaning over indicator, the idea is that on sharp angled leaning around corners (not laying on its side !) that bit of metal will grind on the road either before your exhaust dose or you run out of tyre. Some people take them off when the constant grinding becomes a pest. So no you dont need them and they are cheep enough to buy.
But im not sure why you describe them a tac welded as it is just a short rod with a rounded end and a threaded end which gos into your footrest

Thanks for update.. I think that a previous ower must have had problem with them unscrewing or vibrating out as there is a small blob tac weld on both sides (just lood at replacement pegs £10 from HK not bad deal for a pair!!)

[fazersharp]

I would of thought that tac weld would knacker the inside thread of the alloy pegs. Maybe they are knackered, perhaps you should try a bolt in there to check before you buy just the blobs, because if you get some pegs from ebay then they may come with blobs anyway.
I use the blue locktite on mine, and a few other places as well, perhaps you should invest in a bottle

[HarryHornby]

WOW BBB, that's is some serious love you've given to your bike and it looks the mutt's nuts! 


Anyway, what did I do today....


De-commutered the bike ready for tomorrow's egg run and next week's LOFO day out.  Took off rack and washed.


Polished the ex noggy fighter screen 


Checked the carb rubbers with some WD40 (FINALLY).  and despite them being split to foc all was good and the engine didn't miss a beat!  :-)

[Dead Eye]

Finally got out on the thou for my first proper ride of 2015. Was only planning on going for a local jaunt, but 360+ miles and 8 and half hours later I finally got back home... I may have gone slightly further than intended and ended up in Yeovil. Weather was shit in the East, nicer in the West but cold everywhere Still thawing out, despite 6 six layers, 3 hours after getting in...

[downey]

And no I didnt pay that much. I got mine for 130 quid mark

[Billy Balthorpe]

£130 for a fuel cap??? I would expect it to get BBC2 and make me bacon butties for that!!


Very nice tho.

[brooker81]

I know it's steep. But dek the guy I bought it off had already covered it in rizoma stuff so set the bar high. I thought it would be rude not to I hate when u take the fuel cap off and the keys jangle all over the fuel tank. But yeah u are right the Italians are right robbing twats

[fazerscotty]

Washed, polished, fluid levels checked, lubed chain and checked tyre presures.......20 psi in the front makes it handle like a bouncy castle    :o

I rode it nearly everyday last week so thought I'd clean it today. Cleaned it then as it was warmer than normal, rode it out again, so tomorrow I'll probably do the same thing again
