What have you done to your FZS600 bike today

[fazersharp]

Rode 130 miles round trip to RAF Coningsby and saw this

1, Covered the swing arm with carbon fiber. Took only a few minutes not counting the cleaning before
2, Looking to close detected quite a few screws and washers which need to be replaced.
3, Realized that even she’s getting maintained regularly, my mechanic doesn’t seem to care about the little things
4, Noticed that the main stand needs to be painted asap!!!
5, Scheduled a proper shower for her tomorrow realising how dirty she’s got during our little trip through the hills yesterday

Nice job there Amy but as you say "mechanic" doesn't care, so it's all down to you to maintain it to your standards

We've got the best roads here :b but unfortunately the worst weather at times So you might have to do more maintenance than those soft southerners :rollin

Why is this repeating me tonight?

[Amylicious]

you're soooo right... Will be a long night again spending hours ordering tiny little things for her that no one will see without glasses    Hope we'll have a few more weeks to make her dirty though

Well worth spending time on the little things even if it's only you that knows they're done

Lubed the ancient chain that still looks brand new lol, if a bit knotchy through the pedals.... New set in the garage but haven't got round to changing it up, il wait til mot next year I reakon

Adjusted the TPS on my 98 boxeye, finally. I started the job last week but chewed up the torq screws despite me using the correct bit. Couldn't get the barstewards to shift!

Had to resort to chopping the heads off with a 22mm cutting disc on my Multitool. Fitted 2 allen head bolts which should ensure they come off easy next time.

So about 6 months I bought my fazer 600 1998 for just £800 (sold my 125 for the same amount ) I habe not stopped loving it since. Spent a little here and there on her to make sure she runs and stops fine. So over the last few weeks I thought it was time to give her a little face lift.  I hope you all like the results. Still a few bits to do over the winter I will update this post every now and then.
Enjoy

Nice one mark....you cant beat a 98 boxeye

:rollin

*changed front sprocket nut to upgrade (Yamaha kit and only 2.44 sQuid) -made my own gasket as the asking price form Yamaha was just silly, especially that one can do without. Next time I'll just use sealant. Oh took forever to clean cover...

* adjust headlight beam as with the way it was set I was becoming less and less popular : )

*put a baffle in my Black Widow

* had 3-day 'go' at back brake bleeding... GOD.. still not what I want... Hope it passes MOT. I will have to go back to that...

Mark, I don't know what to say :eek  This is just epic!!! Awesome style, nice touches like the sissy bar. Good job

Well I just went to work on mine this morning at 6.15. Nothing exciting except that on the way home some fighter pilot on a Kwacker 600 Zx6 tried to embarrass the old girl but she made him look a little silly because he lacked the required gonads to use his extra bhp lol. Love those weekend warriors bless em  :lol

Fitted heated grips to the old fella in ready for winter. I happen to have a male Fazer called Forrest......if you name your bike after a girl, it will only let you down 

[Timbollew]

Took it for a little blast through the Brecon Beacons

[Val]

Finally changed my levers with Chinese that looks cool and no more trapping my fingers with the brake lever  :lol

The best £16 ever spend  bought them from here:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NGB-Gold-brake...SwF1dUSmHW

Silver ones are not listed, but you buy any colour and need to ask the guy to send you silver ones.

It was ages to receive them and after a month waiting I have asked him what is hapenning, he replied promptly that can refund me immediately and the levers arrived the same day. I replied back that all is fine LOL

I have to say its worth the wait. The quality is perfect.
