Winter riding on the fazer

[Fuzzy]

[size=1.35em] Another tip is when you are at traffic lights - the 600fzs has lovely hot potatoes sitting under the tank (cam tops) and in very easy reach so just grab these while you are waiting and the heat will slowly work its way through until the next lights[/size]

Ha, not just me then! It does the trick when riding in town, saves me using the heated grips & draining the battery.

Something not mentioned yet is taking a spare pair of gloves and an extra layer, jumper etc, with you on longer journeys. Cold sodden gloves are not nice and an extra layer can make all the difference if the temp drops later on.

Sealskinz socks are good when it's pouring, more reliable than most wp boots, even goretex. Talking of boots, trials boots (I have Gaerne Balances) are good for their sturdiness and grippy soles. Held gloves are my choice for winter. If it's very wet consider wearing waterproofs over your winter/wp textile gear (unless you're in the lucky minority who wears ridiculously expensive goretex proshell stuff). A clean + Nikwaxing/ water repellant treatment before winter is a good idea too.

ACF50ing & greasing relevant parts of the bike. Get a bigger screen. Tyres need to be good.
