What did you do to your bike today?

[tqmx1]

Well I know it's on my FZ1 but it has to start some where, Cleaned and lubed the chain today (it's annual cleaning ). I used the cleaner and brush they have on sale at Cycle gear the brush works like a champ

I piled a couple of things on the seat (on top of the cover) on the way to the coupe to try my new 7 tpi lead file. I love getting new tools.  It was -4 here today with snow in the forcast.   

No riding for awhile around the CO rockies. Wish I could haul it to SoCal for spring break.

On the other hand, we had 2" of fresh powder ON EVERY RUN skiing last weekend.

Bled my new clutch line, using reverse fluid injection. Used a syringe to push about 60cc of fluid into the slave bleeder screw, perfect lever on the first pull!

14" of wet snow here today, I guess it isn't spring yet.

Now some one has to be doing somthing to there FJs Polish wheels, spit shine the paint , change the oil,
oggle over there new parts taking it out for a ride in sub0 weather. Somthing.

 Bled the front brakes, snapped off the lever on my new R1 master trying to adjust the angle a bit. Glad I found that weak point before trying a panic stop. Bought new plugs. Trying to avoid starting her just to hear that lovely noise if I can't actually ride. I would ride in the cold, but the sun came out and melted all the snow after raining all night, made the road into 6" of mud. Maybe if it freezes I'll go for it!

Just put on the new 3.5 front wheel, I wonder if I will be able to feel the difference. A good carb clean is next has been sitting because of all the rain here in So Cal. and me working too much

Ordered a new exhaust system today.  Scavenged parts of the fj's old exhaust to fix the truck, in the rain   .  Removed lower fairing in anticipation of new system.  Immediately threw the screws out in the yard to save my self the effort of loosing them later.

Ordered a super brace. Hopefully a worthwhile mod. Hey if nothing else it's shiny.

I am waiting on a 50W HID hi/lo and a new touring screen to arrive.
It has been/is pissing down here so not much riding- don't want to tempt fate-
I did however polish the alloy!!!!!

[Arnie]

Replaced the rear tire and rear brake pads.
That takes care of any other "fun" purchases this week.

They are a cool bit of billet.  A little known fact: the dimensions for the FJ Superbrace were measured by caliper on my 89 FJ.  So, needless to say, they fit my FJ perfectly when I had the stock forks!

Did the music on the website scare you?

[Kopfjaeger]

replaced rear brake pads....had to drain the back brakes completely... bloody double piston callipers!!! chuckles... now all i have to do is replace all parker lights as they are blown, work out why im losing oil, put new tyres on it, fix the crack in the belly pan, change the fork oil,change the steering stem bearings and chain and sprockets  ( 18 mm in two spots 30 in others ) and then do the starter chain . lots to be said for being lazy and poor, but with the new job might be able to afford these things.

Marsh, I was only looking at the Superbrace site yesterday to see if they have one for FZ1 1st Gen....... (they do!).......did not realise they are one of your customers.

I have a superbrace on the front of my FJ.  As I bought her with it, I couldn't tell you if there is a difference.  However, this FJ is the most stable handling FJ I have had out of three. But by stable it is also slower handling, not as flickable.  But another variable is this FJ has a Michelin Pilot on the front, a tire I have never had before.  Until I get a Dunlop on her, I will not really know.
