what did you do with your fazer today ?

Sorted it!


Couldn't get my hands on a left handed drill bit, so I tool an angle grinder to the heads to add some heat and put a flat on each side. Mole grips didn't work, so ended up banging a chisel round them anti-clockwise to undo them. Just got to find myself some threadlock and fit the new disc, so should be back on the road tomorrow afternoon.

Good to learn of a new technique that works!


Meanwhile, I’ve been overhauling my front brakes. Stripped them down and cleaned out all the crud that had accumulated with riding on salty roads, though the seals are recent enough not to need replacing.
New EBC organic pads, fresh fluid, a couple of hours faffing around getting the air out and they feel a lot better.
They are starting to show their mileage though: these are the grooves worn by the pads in the front part of the body.
