Title: Gen1/2 Fazer 1000: Common maintenance & tasks
Post by: b1k3rdude on 11 December 2020, 07:52:05 pm

As we have a few thread for common tasks that get repeated threads, I figured it would make sense to create a sticky with links to all of these threads. I will update this OP as I go, so welcome suggested threads to be added to this sticky.
