[Fazer Forever]

Changed fork oil and cleaned front brake pistons.

Got the thou MOT'd on Friday and passed with almost flying colours - just a single advisory that the rear pads are approaching their limit

[Dead Eye]

Figured I'd use up the 2 spare hours I had and deal with the rear brake pads as mentioned above; found a set in a box that I forgot I had from when I bought the bike. Took a lot longer than it should have because the pad pins had rotated so that you I couldn't get to the R clips and then the pins had seized solid - I had to use a hammer and a punch to get the buggers out and even then it was a tough job.

Cleaned it caliper up as well as the pins and sanded them back a bit to a smooth surface and lubed them up with some copper grease to try and prevent it from happening again. It's all back together now at least so I look forward to getting out on the bike and testing them, but that's for another day ^.^

Fitted my re-sprayed belly pan, washed, autosol and polished and now waiting for some decent weather

[Grayo]

Washed it after a thoroughly enjoyable, but sometimes wet, four days in Ireland.

[red98]

Stripped the front end of the mighty thou in readyness for an engine re-paint...

[youngsterbiker]

[unfazed]

Changed the oil in the 1000.

I really want to balance my carbs but i'm on call for work so Sods Law i'll be half way through it and the phone will ring, i don't think i should chance it really, which is a shame 'cos it's perfect weather too.  :'(

Worse still, i'm ready to chance it right now but leaving my bike running this early will just make me enemy number 1 with the neighbours.  :evil
I've been up since 6.30am, this is torture.  :groan

That is actually a very good idea, and it had crossed my mind, but unfortunately there's always the chance i may have to go to a film set so it's not that straight forward.
If i get called to a film set i have to go immediately, as time means money.
I'm on call every 2 weekends so i'll just give it a go on Saturday otherwise, but it's just a shame as there's no telling what the weather will be like then, and right now it's absolutely spot on.  un

[darrsi]

Got a colleague to cover me for an hour.
TPS was out, and carbs now balanced (they were slightly out too).  :woot

[Dead Eye]

Got out on the bike today exploring some new roads, had a good ride for just over an hour around Baldock, Buntingford, Royston and up towards Cambridge

[noggythenog]

Finally changed their oil in the mighty thou.....3 US quarts full & then topped up with 150ml of the almighy Activ8 :lurk ..that i had lying in the shed.......bang on the top level mark.


Had to take the belly pan off to do the filter and now ive seen how dirty it all is underneath so i cant help myself thats another job on the ageda before im up and running.


Next week ill be trying to see if she fires up.





Replaced the allen bolts in my brake res lid for some better screws that werent mush...some leakage of brake fluid down the side (does this matter anyone????).


Note to self....next year just ride the bloody thing :rolleyes

[fazerscotty]

Changed the Front pads - quick trip to the NMA and back
