Well done mate. Glad you finally got it sorted and WITHOUT having to hand over a wad to a dealer.
If it makes you feel any better, I suspect many of us have done something similar. I have probably only a slightly better talent with the tools than you.
Years ago, I checked the valve clearances on a Yamaha Dragstar 650. Had to have the carbs off to do so. Didn’t realise that I’d put a spring back on the wrong way around. When it was all back together, the throttle wouldn’t shut properly when you released it.
Ordered and fitted another throttle cable, thinking I’d damaged or kinked the original. No joy! So I had to have the carbs off again. Fortunately I then realised what I’d done and it was an easy fix. Spent hours messing about with it though.
Well done. Hope you can now have many more happy miles on the FZ. ?
