My Fazer so far

[thunderpantz]

As soon as I find one at a price that doesnt make me sore when I sit down :/

So, the winter has come and gone and today I thought I'd start giving the bike some love. Bought a set of HEL lines and new pads to go on and decided to have a bash at fitting them. Me and my trusty haynes manual were good to go.


Safe to say, things didn't go well. Set about doing the rear brake first. Now I should mention the rear brake has always been 'questionable' and to get it through the MOT a fair old amount of force had to be applied (imagine an 18st guy bouncing on the pedal). I'm no mechanical expert but I know when something is focced.






Pretty sure theres meant to be a rubber seal somewhere and that the pistons are meant to move with a bit of a push? Alas, there is neither. Well, theres bits of a seal...


So, focced?

Not sure about the double 'm' it sounds familiar but can't remember where it was.
I grew up on Sharon way.
Nice to know there's a couple of locals incase I need any advice.

Double m was a social club that if my memory serves me right, if you were facing the lamb and flag on the wimblebury road it was down the road to the right of the pub .small world eh

1st time I've seen this.
looks really nice and a touch of blue fetch it off nicely.

[thunderpantz]

Finally replaced my failed rear caliper today with one from a TRX850... my word, the stopping power of that thing is awesome!

[Bimbam]

Does the rear caliber from the TRX-850 fit without modifications?

[thunderpantz]

You have to replace the caliper hanger too. But other than that its a bolt off bolt on job.

[Bimbam]

Will you provide us with some pics?

[fazersharp]

You do know that those two thin hoses to the left of your oil filler cap don't belong there don't you ?

[Bimbam]

The hoses belong here ......

[ChristoT]

And I believe the radiator overflow pipe currently dangling past your TPS sensor goes over the airbox, no?

[thunderpantz]

Well i never knew that. Will take a look when im back home. Have only ever put the hoses back where i found the  :lol

[fazersharp]

When you route the hoses to the picture bimbam posted if you follow where they are going underneath the bike you should see a metal loop that they should just reach that holds them

[thunderpantz]

Been a while since I updated this! Have been hectic the last few month with work and the like and have totally forget about my beloved Fazer. Have had no time to ride, maintain or enjoy the ownership


Think he's going up for sale soon...
