what did you do with your fazer today ?

[Grahamm]

As mentioned elsewhere, I didn't have much luck balancing the thottle bodies on my FZ6, but, this weekend I have managed:


Refilling and bleeding the brake system after installing braided pipes (and that technique of a zip-tie around the brake lever to the throttle overnight does wonders!)


Checked the plugs without needing to drain the coolant and remove the radiator by taking out the bolts that hold the radiator in place and giving myself (just) enough room to do the job, although getting the HT leads out is a bugger of a job, but at least a drop of WD-40 helps get them back in place


Changed the oil and filter.


Fixed the instrument cluster as the LCD display was flickering again.


I did also start having a go at installing the 4 degree ignition advancer, but I wanted to read through a thread on doing this mod again and it was getting late, so I decided to leave that for another time...


PS I forgot: Whoever put the oil filter on the bike must have had really strong hands if it's supposed to be "finger tight" as I eventually had to use a cup socket and a breaker bar to shift it...  :eek

Now the old filter is stuck *in* the cup socket and I'm going to have to take a hammer and drift to the old filter to get it out...  :rolleyes
