what did you do with your fazer today ?

[robbo]

Judging by the sooty colouring on my exhaust outlet, I think I'd agree that it's a tad rich. But Mike's the man, so leaving well alone. :lol :thumbup

[kitcrazy]

Mine definitely runs alot richer since having the full Monty and occasionally goes up in a puff of smoke ??

A ride in the sunshine to Lakeside Cafe, Tanygrisiau, Blaenau Ffestiniog, via Ruthin, Cerrig, Llyn Celyn. 125 miles round trip. Speed enforcement van waiting between Bwlchgwyn and Llandegla on the way out.

A ride in the sunshine to Lakeside Cafe,

I was there on my Fazer only the other week.

[Anquetil]

Hi Hugh. It's a nice cafe and beautiful, scenic roads all around. I'm very fortunate that it is virtually on my doorstep and that there are varied routes that I can take to get there. The staff were talking about the biker who died at the weekend, nearby on the A470, and were genuinely upset about it.

[Hugh Mungus]

I am quite envious of the choice of roads you have in that area. I have some favourite roads in my area but on the whole it isn't a great region for biking roads.
Amazing to 'find' that cafe (ok I was lead there in a group of riders) as I have travelled in that area over many years and even passed the road end to the cafe and not gone in or noticed it before! Very nice atmosphere as they didn't bat an eye when about 20 of us walked in needing refreshment.
I have been to other places where they even moaned about ten of us turning up at once...

Over the Bank Holiday I decided to go and do some surfing in Devon and maybe some bike riding too.

Because I needed to get down there early, rather than ride my usual fun route of A36, A30, A377, I had to take the quicker (but dull) route of M3, A34, A303, except it turned out to be not so quick since firstly some idiot had managed to turn their car over on the M3, then someone else had put their car into a ditch on the A34 and finally the A303 was at a stand-still in places, for example, approaching the Stonehenge junction, nothing was moving and it was solid white lines, plus I couldn't see past a large lorry in front of me, so myself and another biker who'd also filtered up just turned off our engines and sat there for about 5 minutes until things moved again.

In any case, following some progressive filtering, I got there not much later than I'd hoped and got some good waves on Friday evening and Saturday.

On Sunday the swell had dropped to virtually nothing and there was hardly a ripple, so I decided to go for a ride down the A39 Atlantic Highway past Bude to Widemouth Bay which was great fun.

For the way back up, I had selected the A30, but found that it was a dull dual carriageway, so turned off and eventually found myself on the B3254 which is an awesome road and I have to ride it again some time, although I think Sally Sat Nav got fed up with my ignoring her attempts to get me to the waypoint I'd selected ("turn around when possible". "Turn right, then take the next right". "Oh, please yourself, I'm not talking to you any more!" [img alt=]http://cafedillo.org.uk/forums/Smileys/default/wink.gif[/img] )

The ride back home was the fun route of the A377 and A30, so I got home Monday evening, knackered but happy

Fitted an adjustable flasher unit - I spent a whole 99p (well I actually bought 5 so I did spend a bit more than 99p), how the heck they can flog them at that price and include shipping from China is beyond me...Anyway, it was easy to fit and simple to adjust the flash rate by turning a screw[move][size=2em]And it doesn't beep![/size][/move]They are now £1.04 or best offer.https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-Pin-Speed-A...SwJLJZg-Af

Beautiful morning for a sunny 150 mile breakfast whizz, and home in time for the Mugello MotoGP........perfect.

[fazerscotty]

MOT'd it. Again. Passed again.  :lol :lol The tester said it was in very good condition considering the mileage - it's only done 65K!

[Hugh Mungus]

Just about run in then 

[robbo]

Had a very enjoyable whizz down to Somerset to check out SP Engineerings exhaust cans. Wallets a bit lighter now as bought one of their carbon cans and link pipe to facilitate fitting my new givi pannier frames, which my normal high level set up won't allow. Was quite chilly at 6:30 this morning, especially with my jacket lining removed, however 260 miles later, was sweating buckets filtering through heavy traffic as I got close to home.

[Grahamm]

Changed the brake fluid on my FZ6 (which probably hadn't been changed for a bit longer longer than it should have...!)

BTW if anyone ever searches (as I was doing) and wants to know how much brake fluid you actually need for a full system flush, it's actually only about 250ml, so buying a litre of DOT 4 was probably excessive.

Still, it should keep ok in a sealed container and it was only about £8, so no big loss if it doesn't.

OK got back this lunchtime  from a 1600 mile round trip to rellies in Germany, on my Tracer 900 (bear with me, this is the right thread). BUT this afternoon when I had to do a rush hour dash across Bradford and over to Leeds for a physio appointment, VERY glad to have the fazer's nippiness and (crucially) narrow bars for the lots of filtering required to make it on time. Love that bike....

[Anquetil]

A ride to the Anglesey Circuit to watch the No Limits race meeting. Lovely weather, good racing, great scenery. 160 mile round trip.

[red98]

Fitted a new fork seal to the mighty thou......replacing them once a year and I cant see why  :\
all done now though , i feel like a days testing coming on 

[Anquetil]

A ride to Bangor and Menai Bridge to visit the Menai Heritage Centre where there is an exhibition regarding the history of the Menai Bridge and also a new exhibition to mark 65 years since HMS Conway ran aground and broke it's back whilst being towed by tugs. Three years later, the wreck caught fire and burnt to the water line.Visited Bangor pier also. 136 mile round trip.

[Hugh Mungus]

Oil and filter change. Clutch cable oiled, it does feel slightly better.
Just about ready for the MOT on Saturday.

[red98]

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 )
