Hello, I just got my new (old) 2000 fazer! Loving it this far.
The bike has ridden 32000 miles. In the last 6 years it has been driven 6000 miles in total, less in the last couple of years as the previous owner got a new bike.
I don't have access to it's service history but it's last service was 26000 miles. With a recent oil change around 31000 miles.
The bike drives nicely, no oil on the forks, breaks are good and chain/sprockets are good.
At idle the bike runs a little rough.
The bike is used so it has some visual
imperfections. I'll get around to that second
My plan now is to:
- Change the spark plugs (NKG CR9E)
- Change the oil (Castrol Power1 10w-40)
- Change the oil filter (Snell filter)
- Bleed the brakes and replace with DOT 5.1 brake fluid.
- Balance the carbs (just ordered CarbTune)
- Change the cooling fluid
I'm not brave enough to check/do the valve clearance, so I might put it in a dealer if it still runs rough after doing the above list.Anything else I should do?
