Hi All,
Small introduction from me. Passed my test first time in March of this year. Purchased an Immaculate 04 FZ6 Fazer on Good Friday. Over the moon to be honest. Absolutley love it. Love Biking and all that goes with that community. I have a small oil leak coming from the sump drain bolt. Is this easy to change? Any advice greatfully recieved. Please dont hesitate to ask any questions (nothing dodgey will be answered), and thanks for reading.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Cheers

Get a torque wrench and see if it needs nipping up to torque tightness first or it will be a oil change at £25 quid a pop to replace the copper washer :lol

Ok I'll give that ago. Many thanks for the advice. Are there any basic up dates or changes anyone would recommend, or are there any weird things I should know about with my Fazer.  By the way I live just outside Reading and learnt to ride at Pinewood Motorbike School. I must big them up for doing such a fantastic job with me. Anyway end of Plug.
Many thanks
