(idea stolen from another forum)

apart from riding it to/from work, today I fiddled with the screen height, tweeked the fog light angles, and booked a 6000mile service. what did you do to yours?




(ok, this wasn't today, its not a fazer, but does show the lights and screen. you get the idea)

Stripped the rear suspension to it's component parts - greased and refitted.

Wiped my finger across the black grime on the back wheel and thought it could be with a clean. So I went inside and cleaned my finger. And I rode it to work and back.

Yesterday evening I cleaned two mag wheels, a Metmachex swigarm and bew the dust off a Z650 engine that I've sold.

Took it to Stevie to ask about new boots and came home with Pilot Road 3's fitted, noticed my pannier rail has cracked and generally added to her abuse.
Swore that I'd spend tomorrow figuring out if it's the ballast that's gone or if my reggy/rec is goosed.

Replaced the seals in the left hand caliper.
Spent bloody ages trying to get the air out.
Took it for a very gentle shakedown run to start bedding the pads into the new EBC discs and scrub in the tyres.
Tried not to think about the £460 all that lot cost .

Snapped a spark plug in two. Sadly one part is still in the head! Best advice so far is to try a stud extractor. Professional repair could cost more than the bike is worth in cold hard cash (of course it's priceless to me).

Nothing - thought about where I will go if it's nice sunny morning tomorrow. Cheddar gorge is top of the list at the moment.

Smashed the rear light lense against a shoe rack on the wall in the garage - I was gutted 'till I read this and realised how much less bother my problem is - best of luck Slimted.  :'(

[pilgrim]

Took it for an MOT. Passed.

[Kev8261]

Washed it, cleaned and lubed the chain, checked the tyre pressures, put the optimate on it.

Oh yes, another day of my life in the fast lane!

[robby boy]

Opened the shed and gave it a start, first time in about a month, might go out for a wee spin later.

Rode it and Garaged it, nice..

[snooky]

took the front forks offin an attempt to stop them leaking, 1200 wet & dry and some araldite should do that bit, removed the clutch and ref counter cable and removed the decompression cable as well ready to remove the side cover for a new clutch when it arrives, not on a fazer or anything even close to being that new, it's on the XL185

Yesterday rode it up to Wallington (S.London) via the A24 and A25 which was pretty good fun. Today rode to Southampton and back on the M27 which was boring!
