hoped prayed and carried on as i had to get to preston
suddenly only running on 3 cylinders - carry on and pray
on way back sudden bad noise pull over loose chain - strange
load of tools purchased later i am pointed out the link had broken and not a split link either a rivet link
no correct replacement and no recovery (thought i did) so i used the incorrect split link with no side plate only a clip to hold it (never do this)
27 miles later bad noise chain flings link and all comes to a sudden skidding stop still 20 miles to go - no phone signal get walking,
phone a friend who is waiting on the 400 quid in my pocket to buy a little bike- one seat alhambra later a fazer back at home
(please note i have no fairings or mirrors which ment it fit in the seat)
one pissed of bloke today got to go strip my head again

Im working out how to "Modernise" my 1998 FZS, i have a ugly big grab/hand rail on it, and want the newer one thats smaller for the later FZS 600, does these fit bolt on?

[Fazer99]

Not today but over the weekend I painted and fitted my new hugger, it doesn't quite fit exactly so I've got to do some modifications but other than that I'm really happy with it.

[Disorderlypunk]

ive been tempted to paint mine but as its carbon (my first ever piece of carbon or carbon effect) im not sure or not
- prob should take it off have a look and see if i can clearcoat it for a better shine

I would have preferred carbon but it was just soo much more costly.
You could try giving it a polish with some Tcut or something similar then use some polishing wax, thats if it was shiny in the first place otherwise yes a coating of Lacquer would probably be your best bet.

just had a look at it properly today and looks like it will clean up pretty nicely
rebuilt the top end again today and i now have suction on inlet port 3 whoopp the airbox delete might finally be running like it should
just waiting on the carb fuel inlet nipple and my new chain and sprocket kit and she is back on the road once more

The wooden "workshop"   (shed)  Has power! All ready for full strip, clean, paint etc and rebuild of the fazer next winter never had anywhere under cover to work on my bikes, but now me and my fazer will be warm and dry in the winter! goodbye oxford bike cover

[Wharfe]

In the spirit of the previous post, gave myself and the Fazer (and the Tracer) some elbow room by punting my old TDM 850 on Ebay. Got the price I wanted, from a very happy bloke who now has three of the things AND a TDM900. Happy days all round....
Of course I now only have to turn my back for two minutes to find that m'wife and kids have filled the space created with THEIR crap....

MOT this morning at 11 just gave the fazer a once over no problems i can find, usually sails through 

[gicut58]

Not so much today but ongoing, s/h Oxford luggage picked up from evilbay cleaned up and proofed, came up better than I thought, to add to top box for storage, crash bars fitted thanks to the engineers at work, Peterborough MCN show in a fortnight to find overtrousers and a tank bag and have a good nose around.

The plan still to head towards Inverness and a week of touring around the NC500 in August, A1, Scotch Corner, Penrith, Carlisle, round Glasgow and Edinburgh and straight up the middle via a stop off at possibly the best place in the world - Bruar Falls.

[Disorderlypunk]

- Finished the top end rebuild (again) reset the carbs as only running on three fitted a new chain and sprockets and sprocket nut
- Got the koso style speedo all wired up fired up and found myself doing 100+ through my village so went out with a tomtom and calibrated the speedo
- Got dominator headlights in vertical stacks now
- Exhaust leaking where the linkpipe goes into oem exhaust so filled it with steel putty stuff and its worked a treat (cant afford full FUEL exhaust system yet)
just in time for this weekends festivities
would be crack open a beer time getting all the work finished but its only 10:30 so time for a cuppa

[matt7chunk]

MOT passed with flying colours

[Dave48]

Ordered a set of 30mm bar risers-hope that the brake hoses will reach new position-if not will purchase longer ones.

[Koreanbaz]

Pondered what tyres to fit to it.
It's been sat in a dining room for 3 years. So it's out with the new and on with new rubber.
But what rubber I wonder?
