Fazerrrrrr

Post by ptolemyx »

Just got an old FZS1000 Fazer for tinkering. A man's gotta tinker hasn't he :wink:
Just under 13,000 miles on the clock and in damn fine condition for a 15 year old bike.
A few cosmetic and comfort bits & bobs to start with, then I'll uprate the suspenders before seeing what we can do to get the motor more R1 like :roll:

2nd person I know who's picked one of these up recently. Wonder if the MT range has sparked an interest in Yamaha's 'sensible/fun' bikes which have slipped off the radar.

I'd get the handling sorted first, there's nothing wrong with the comfort or performance of these!

The forks are pretty rubbish on those, very spongy.

Never been near one, but I do know they can make healthy power quite easily (140-145rwhp) B-)
Of all the things I have ever lost, I miss my mind the most .....
