what did you do with your fazer today ?

[noggythenog]

Typical noggy day really.


Intended on doing mega miles....ended up doing only 200.


In the arse end of nowhere in North Wales my gear shifter decided to disconnect itself at the engine spline pivot......no houses nearby....no mobile phone signal ....pic number 4 is the breakdown site.


Bodged it on enough to select 3rd gear and then i made it to just outside of Coris.....still no signal so i walked to Coris where the very helpful folk at the steam railway said that if i could freewheel my bike another 500 yards down the main road the train mechanics might be able to help me out.....so i did......& they got me home 8)




Turns out the receiver end by by the splines where the allen bolt goes into was all mushed and the bolt must have worked its way out......they re tapped it enough for the bolt to go all the way in again and tightened it up.




Not wanting to tempt fate i made a beeline for home and i've just noticed that it has worked loose again so i just made it home in the nick of time.


Ill be ordering a new spline and bolt unless i have my old one off the 600 still kicking around.




A couple pics but i never got to the places i intended on exploring......glad to be home in one piece.
