what did you do with your fazer today ?

[mr self destruct]

Had a bit of a brown trouser moment on the way in to work this morning.
Came off the M6, slowed down to hear and feel a horrible rattling through the whole bike. Definitely speed rather than rev related so i thought "Shit. Front sprocket's going."
Nursed it into the works car park and found the spring holding the centre stand had come off, so the noise was the stand dragging on the road.


Thank blue fuck for that! 


The spring was still there and undamaged, so I've got to see where it connects to on the stand and see if that's bust. But for now a couple of cable ties will get me home.




UPDATE: Had a look in the daylight and the lug for the spring has rusted off, so cable-tied it back in place and will get the welder out tonight.

Proper plate welded on now, better than the crappy little bar. Just got to source the rubber bung that mates up to the exhaust now.
