So agree with you there. Like I said, I'm pretty clueless when it comes to spannering, I made some hideous mistakes along the way but with the aid of YouTube videos I managed to get it largely sorted out. Of course, in the process of doing all those jobs, I've become very familiar with how the bike is put together which should help a great deal when the next thing goes wrong! I do feel a bit proud of myself being honest and just having returned from a 100 mile trip round some of the nicest roads in Devon without the wheels falling off, I can definitely say that my hard graft has been rewarded. Love that little Fazer, working on it has made the bond so much stronger than had I just gone out and picked up a minter.
If I'd known I was going to live this long I'd have taken far better care of myself!
