What did you do to your FZ today? - Page 12

PJFZ1 · 07-04-2009, 12:24 PM

I worked on my repairs - Fixed the left rearset, mounted the headlight, and took it for a very short ride down the street to check brakes, front end, etc.. thankfully it initially feels good.

I will go work on it a bit more here shortly - My ribs don't like me doing too much at once..

The FZ and I got "twisted" today. Yay!
Our local Killboy photog got some action shots of the group strafin the SoCal canyons.
Cant wait till he posts them up tonight!

Rode it 300+ miles to Portland

BillyR · 07-04-2009, 06:25 PM

Did some routine chain maintance, cleaning and lube. Also a little cleaning a detail work to keep her looking nice for the weekend.

I installed Ivan's FCE today!

Phew! That was (for me) a big job. Crimping is officially my least favourite task of all time.
These instructions are very helpful.

Test rode it. What a massive improvement! No more butt-clenching getting back on throttle, it is so much smoother. Gear changing is also improved, no longer have to find that neutral throttle position to smooth it out.

Today I installed my 3/16 shims to help my hyperpro damper clear the rizoma risers. !!FAIL!!! I had to add washers to get the needed clearence. I didn't realize the left side of the damper was a larger diamiter than the other. Thursday when I go back to work I will make new spacers at 1/4 in. Here are two pix, the first is the riser with the included washer(right) and my fabbed washer(left), next is installed with steering at full lock. Not a great pic but the best I could do in such a tight area. I will update when i install the new shims.

Nope. I had to improvise.

I had a Zero Gravity on for a month but purchased the same MRA Vario last week. I put the Vario on yesterday and rode it all day today. Great windscreen!!! I'm going to put the ZG up for sale (probably on ebay unless someone here is interested).

I just installed new Rizoma bar/42mm riser combo.. Was there something I missed about the left side being bigger and requiring a washer?? it seemed like It was a simple install.

I rode 130 miles on it after work today. Hell yes!

jlewis_02 · 07-09-2009, 09:58 PM

Rode it to work then around town abit after work.

dean30 · 07-09-2009, 10:03 PM

Installed a set of Shogun frame sliders. They make pretty decent highway legrests for a minute, so you can get the blood flowing below the knees again.

CrazyBiker · 07-10-2009, 12:21 AM

Dirknar, didn't you own a FZ6 b4 and were on SBN?

Nope, It wasnt me.. Are you telling me there's another Dirknar?? Damn, I thought that lame name was all mine. I use it on every forum I join.

Last nite I took it to the local dragstrip. Just a 1/8th track, but man! That was fun! The adrenaline rush was incredible!

Glory_and_Fame · 07-10-2009, 07:56 AM

Tried to fix engine light & error code 20.

...failed.

B3AST · 07-10-2009, 04:49 PM

I rode my bike to and from work with my recently installed MRA Vario touring windscreen. It's short (like the stock windscreen) and works marvelously!!! My neck thanks me ten fold for the purchase.

james71 · 07-10-2009, 05:15 PM

Today I found out how easy it is to rock low RPM wheelies with cargo in my 40 liter top case.

homsh · 07-10-2009, 08:12 PM

Tried to shift it with a broken left big toe.

We're not riding for a little while.
