What have you done to your FZS600 bike today

[AJM]

Fitted my new stubby levers from china .......only to discover the piggin clutch lever doesn't fit :'(.......just emailed the guy and hope to get it sorted.

[stevie-g1968]

re fitted the lump of pig iron center stand......foccing bolts!!!

[sinto607276]

Took the two side led marker lights off and connected one under the nose cone, making that my side light as I also took out the standard side light and connected the led for that, not a lot, but least I was tinkering :lol

[StuSid]

Didnt do it today did it yesterday but i did a lot to her.


I replaced the knackered rear brake caliper with a 1000 rear caliper i picked up off eBay in excellent condition put new pads in, got a new rear tyre on it and also shortened my exhaust myself as the end was dented and i hated it, plus i prefer a shorter exhaust anyway.


Thinking of changing the levers to gold as the bikes gold anyway and i need to find some of the 03 model mirrors as mine are battered and the 03 ones arms are longer which is better in my opinion.

Very good Nebuchernezzer I need some heated grips myself.[/size]When you decide to get the fairing on?

You saw the pics from when i was playing around with putting a street triple headlight on i guess?
I've always had the fairing on for actual riding, and now after i've had the bike a while i've decided to keep it (and make it work with some clip ons...eventually)
Also i changed the oil, managed to not get oil on the exhausts, win!

[herrod]

lowered them front forks on the yokes 15mm. handles miles better.

[YamFazFan]

Bought a 32mm flat-drive hex socket from the used tools stall at the local boot sale for £1. (sprocket nut).

[TomS_]

(Tried to) give it a bit of a clean. Its obvious that I need some more tools and products to help with this. Ol' sponge and bucket that I use for my car not really cutting it. Too many nooks and crannies to get in to on a bike!  :lol


On this subject, what can people recommend for cleaning the engine: removing dust etc in hard to reach places, keeping it generally looking (and being) clean, degrease (??) etc?


Have heard of using ACF-50 during the colder months, I dont suppose this is worthwhile in other parts of the year?


Cheers!

Fitted the new back wheel I had to buy because I couldn't get the rear disc mounting bolts off the old one so I could replace the rather worn rear disc. I ended up snapping the little bastards off in the wheel despite the extensive use of penetrating oil and a heat gun. In the end I just couldn't be arsed to get them drilled out and helicoiled so I bought a new wheel which although not cheap is very shiny and sexy.  :'(

[Jimdy04]

Today I changed the new uprated front sprocket nut and bendy washer thing. Being proactive inal, I've done it before the old one flys off. Phew. I can go fast again.

[MMeNDtal]

Today I started some much needed maintenance by changing the oil and filter. The previous owner had left the bike standing for six months.
Also ordered K&N air filter, NGK plugs, Colourtune and stainless down pipes (mine are holed) and looking for a cheap Carbtune Pro.
Had to remove the rear wheel and replace the tire valve, which was leaking around the seal.
Got hold of a set of feeler gauges to set the valve clearances.

[Val]

Have changed the spark plugs with CR8EIX iridium ones. Twice  :'(

Because the first time I forgot to remove the spacers that are screwed at the top of each plug and once you screw the plug you cannot remove the spacers. Hence removing the plugs again  :lol

All done now. The bike has doubled the power now for sure 

[Val]

Just has changed the rubber footrest covers the mounting screws are a bitch to remove  :'(

A lot of penetration fluid and proper phillips head has done the job finally  :lol

[Bretty]

Minor service...

Finally all done now have changed the rad cover. Using T27 Torx a hammer to tap it and a lot of penetration fluid  :lol

The cover is ugly because it is not a perfect fit, too big hence slightly bended in the middle, but who cares LOL

At least the cover was cheap £25 - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/YAMAHA-FZS-FAZ...679802358?

Here is the final result, looks good enough to me LOL

[sinto607276]

Maybe if you put these in you wouldn't have the bendy bit?
