What did you do to your FZ today?

Well, to be sure they are not contaminated, I would just pull them out to inspect. It's easy enough to do on the bike. You should also make sure that air hasn't entered the system after you squeezed the lever with the nut loose. That could be an issue that could bite you in the butt at the worst time. I'd just bleed them to be sure and check the fluid level.

I haven't looked yet, but I am guessing there is a How-To on bleeding the brake somewhere on the forum?

Update:

Here is a picture of the belly pan I just installed finally.

Installed Evotech Hanger and Engine Spoiler

Installed the exhaust hanger and test fitted the Edrive Engine Spoiler.:yes: I forgot added frame plugs. And today added YAMAHA sticker to the spoiler. Decided to leave it black. The front guard is also going to turn black very soon. Only decided after looking at the photo that gloss black would look good.

.....and today I have mounted my new Bridgestone Hypersport S20 rear tyre :)

The heaviest spot isn't always at the valve ;) I found the "real" heavy spot, and that was where the dot on the tyre was aligned.
When I balanced the wheel it just needed 10g :nerd:



First time to use my manual tyrechanger.

Fitted and ready for balancing




And I think I was almost as fast as this guy

nothing modded at the bike, but bought me something for the bike: a steady stand garage so I can park my bike easily now and upright

I have one similar that I use for my YZF1000 and it's great. Holds the bike upright and it's very easy to use. The FZ1 I usually park it using the center stand so it's always upright as well.
 
I don't quite know where I'm going with this right yet. It's a good place to start. Right? aaaa no, I already know a plan is a better place to start but I don't have a plan. I do how ever, have some wrenches soooo...
 
Just installed windshield bought off ebay that goes with my dual headlights. Please let me know what ya'll think. I really like it a lot!!!
