Another newbie!
« on: 29 December 2012, 11:59:17 am »
Hi Guys & Girls!

My name is Dan and i'm new to Fazers. Picked up my Gen 1 FZS1000 on the 23rd, but have only been able to use it a few times as of yet! Must say, I'm really pleased with it and it seems to go.......well! My previous bikes are Honda's CBF600 and a CB500, so very different bikes!

Has taken me a few days to find the forum but am now signed up!

It's got a few extra's but nothing really "modified". Have now taken the rear rack off and put the grab handles back on.



Here's a little pic of her :

Hi Black8,
Thanks for the advice! I have already seen the thread on the exup valve and am going to give it a good copper ease treatment as soon as time allows! Hope you're enjoying your bike!

That's a sweet machine Dan. Best way of keeping the EXUP free and working is to get out there and ride it!

Oh yeah, welcome to the forum :D
Stop polishing it and ride the bloody thing!!

Cheers guys! I used it today to commute to work - the best thing about work today was the ride there and the ride home!
