what did you do with your fazer today ?

[Grahamm]

Replacing the rear brake pads on my '06 FZ6 SA for the upcoming MoT, I was just doing the final thing, screwing the pad slider pin cover back in place when I managed to drop the damn thing into the space between the swing arm and the wheel!

I then had to take the caliper back off again so I could fish the bloody thing out with tweezers and a bent paperclip...

Then I wanted to take it for a quick ride around the block to check everything was working ok, only to switch on the ignition and see the oil light stay on and the fuel gauge bars flash 8 times.

So I had to come back inside and look up what the issue was. Turns out, whilst cleaning some contacts, I'd managed to slightly pull apart the connectors at the left hand side by the front of the tank and the bike was registering a fault.

I pushed them back together and, bingo, everything was (eventually) sorted!

(And the brakes work too )
