NOW SOLD - FZ1-S Fazer 2008 - £2,495 offers invited.
« on: 18 October 2015, 02:01:52 pm »
It's got to go, I've bought its replacement already and I need more space in my garage.

Price guide £2,495 but I will now accept less to shift it quickly. Advertised elsewhere.

Deep Red Metallic (DRMK) 'Lava Red' paintwork with Old Gold colour five spoke wheels. I have owned this magnificent machine since new (31/05/2008) and have enjoyed getting on for 66,000 miles of reliability, power, comfort and fun. Note - sixty six thousand miles.

This bike has been my commuting work horse - hence the relatively high mileage - and I have used it in all weathers and in all seasons of the year. Silver engine paint and the downpipes are a bit scruffy as a result; but overall the bike is in good condition. Regular servicing and cleaning has kept it in fine fettle. It still starts on the button and runs like the day it was delivered.

The bike is offered for sale without any modifications or add-ons. This is as close as you will get to the original factory specification.

MOTs, tyres, annual checks and service histories (see photos), with many bills and invoices available to back these up. Services carried out every 6,250 miles in accordance with Yamaha's periodic maintenance schedule. Each service has included an oil and filter change.

Recent work carried out includes:

65,606 miles - Rear suspension links dismantled, cleaned, greased and re-assembled with new oil seal (04/10/2015)

64,042 miles - Service including oil and filter change, new DID Gold X-ring chain and sprockets (23/05/2015)

59,911 miles - Brakes serviced, new front pads, new brake fluid, radiator leak repaired (10/01/2015)

58,759 miles - Tappet clearances checked and rectified to tolerance, new spark plugs, coolant drained and replaced (23/10/2014)

57,071 miles - Front and rear tyres replaced 26/07/2014

55,155 miles - Service including oil and filter change (14/06/2014)

Tyres - front Bridgestone BT-023 3.5mm tread and rear Avon Storm Ultra 2 5mm tread.

Original full toolkit is present. I have the V5 document, the bike is registered in my name at my home address, it is HPI and insurance register clear (check for yourself, please) and MOT'd until 31/05/2016. I have all three original keys, including the all important red master key, which is still in its protective sheath. In addition, I have the original Yamaha marketing brochure from 2008, owner's manual, service book (only the first two services stamped while bike was in warranty) and the original Yamaha dealership sales paperwork.

The panels have no crash damage, dents, cracks or repairs made to them. There are two tiny paint chips on the tank and to one of the rear side panels, and a small scratch to the headlight lens. Considering its age and mileage, it's in pretty good nick. Sold as seen, with no warranty or guarantee. I am happy to welcome any inspection by prior appointment. Can be seen in Huntingdon evenings and weekends or Peterborough during working hours weekdays. No test rides.

Send me a PM for more info. All questions will be answered as soon as I can.

It's a cracking bike. I'm trying so hard not to take it out for a blast because I know I will want to keep it - but I can't. I mustn't. I need the space.

Well, it took a while but she sold to the first person to see it and ride it.

Very sad to see her go; but now I have the garage space I craved.
