100 mile round trip to look at a 'clean standard' fazer thou. Hadn't been washed for a year I reckon and completely shot tyres. There goes another £20 worth of juice and a morning of my time. E bay should let you mark people on the accuracy of their adverts. I hope the guy updates his advert to save a few more wasted journeys.

Gents Looking at an 05 thou for sale with FZ1 on the fairing, not Fazer. I'm sure that I read somewhere that this was the American model, does that mean it is restricted or different in any way other than cosmetics ? Cheers Carl

I'm going to change my front sprocket for a 16t one. Any makes recommended or any bad experiences with certain types. I've read that if the sprocket is harder than the shaft it will wear the shaft and would rather this didn't happen (obviously ). Happy Xmas Cheers Carl

Have bikes really improved. I've been looking at the Gen 1 1000, last of the VFR 750s, the Blackbird, the 2002 Fazer 600, DRZ400 and the late carbed FireBlades. I reckon if these were still available new they'd sell by the bucket load (emission tests abandoned). Compare the new Z1000SX, a brilliant bike, with the Gen. 1 1000 and they aren't that far apart. If anything the Yamaha is superior in a lot of areas.

Got one, I'd remove the advert if I knew how. Givi Wingrack and fitting kit, or just a fitting kit, for a 2002 Foxeye 600 or a Sw Motech pannier rail set. . I live in North East England.. Cheers Carl

Anyone fitted pannier rails to a Fzs600, I've read that the later ones fit with modifications but a lad at work reckons the Fazer thou Gen 1 ones almost fit. Got the chance of a nice 2002 600 but want to do a bit of touring and already have a set of Givi panniers. All info gratefully received. Cheers Carl

Could someone with an original hard copy Yamaha service schedule tell me exactly what is done on the 12000 mile service please, I've seen a download but this doesn't tally with what the bike shop is doing for a full service prior to me buying the bike, it is 8 years old with 10k on the clock. Not getting a good feeling about the shop but I've paid in full, schoolboy error, too trusting. Cheers Carl

MRA Varioscreen , have you got one and is it any good, had one on my Varadero, excellent, on my new crossrunner, complete waste of money, so a bit of info. could save me a few quid. All screen info gratefully received. Cheers Carl

Gents Have you had both and which is the best all rounder ? General zipping about , the odd pillion ride, the odd tour for 3 or 4 days, riding like a menace now and again. Just had a brief, but vey expensive, 6 months of new model crossrunner ownership so want my next bike to be the right choice. Key questions are is it fun, comfortable, mpg, range and reliable. I appreciate that most of these are answered elsewhere but someone who has had both bikes could give a good perspective. All info greatfully received Cheers

Gents, Have you fitted hard panniers to your bike, if so what sort and would you recommend them, interested in fitment along with the official Yamaha topbox rac. If you have the official rack fitted, have you got the official Yam. topbox or will a Givi adaptor plate fit ? Does hard luggage effect your bikes handling a lot ? Cheers Carl
