Bought my first fazer 1000 last april 2014, never ridden a fazer before so had no idea of what to expect.
My mate has a same age fazer 1000 with 14k on the clock mine has 24k the only other diference is mines got a beowulf can on it and his is factory fitted, he had an opportunity to ride my bike at weekend and is reporting how much quicker mine is and he says its noticable big time. Could it be that something is wrong with his ie carbs not ballanced correctly or could i without knowing have bought a bike that has been ivanised. Is there a way of physically telling on the bike.

Thanks

Hi
Not been on here for a while, passed my test in April 2014 went mad bought a fzs 1000 gen 1 and clocked up 5,000 miles over summer oh boy do i love the wolf in sheeps clothing. Yes i am a wuss bike has been sorn since middle of november and will remain so whilst roads and weather are bloody awefull.

Anyway bike has had one previous owner most of its service history and now has 23k on clock i know the main service is at 28k but lets be real its 12 years old and i was wondering what people think the major service would cost i am talking abot the one with valve clearances.

After my intro post i have since passed my big bike test and had already bought my fazer 1000 on advice of my instructor. My wife now thinks she lives alone as if its light and dry i am out like a big 41 year old kid. I trained on a 650 kwak which i thought had some go but the fazer is some other animal.

Yep i ride like a newby, call me mc chicken strip who cares,  i am a slow rider as i have not got my confidence and after passing my test now i am starting to learn to ride a bike.
The bikes not lite but the slow speed handling its a doddle to manage, but when i open it up and i say open it up most of you would laugh at what i call opening up as i have yet to get past 6000 revs and to be honnest until i am happy i wont either, but the power is unreal, it doesn't dip and just keeps ruddy going, have done almost 2400 miles in 3 weeks mostly around the peninnes, and thats only after work lol but i cant simply stop wanting to ride the animal. Someone told me they are a wolf in sheeps clothing and by god they were right.

I never clean my car and have it valleted when needed but i have found myself washing and cleaning my bike on a regular basis and even looking for radiator grills, double bubble screens, beowolf exhaust whats the hells happening to me.
