Looks very clean If you haven't already had a look at the FAQ for the Gen1 Fazer in the sickies at the top of this section I would encourage you to do so, as a new owner you should find the information useful. I would make sure the EXUP valve is present and working correctly servicing is often neglected leading to the valves becoming seized, this may or may not be the cause of your problem but is something you should investigate early on and keep on top of. The FAQ has a link that takes you to an EXUP servicing guide.I believe the stock jetting is lean at low revs and this will be made worse if you have a more free flowing aftermarket air filter so with stock jetting the OEM filter is recommended and may help your issue if you have an aftermarket 'performance' filter.
Yes, only differences to the tank was cosmetic
The motorcycle season is over in Norway. Hope winter will be short this year.

Before the Fazer gets put away,I add a dose of Sta-bil before brimming the tank with 98/99 octane petrol, then it‘a straight home and into the back of the garage. Plug in the Optimate, throw a sheet over her, and that’s it until next Spring.
Sorry to hear that. Hopefully we’ve got a while longer yet of reasonable weather, before some of us start to put our bikes away for winter. I personally won’t ride now when the ice descends, but will still venture out on those cold crisp dry sunny days, with heated under garments though. 🤗Hope your Fazer isn’t locked away for too long.
I had issues one time after filling a tank with E10 petrol and leaving the bike stopped for almost three months. At the time I was not aware of the ethanol effects. Results: Difficult to start up, uneven running engine, hard to pick up power particularly noticeable at low/mid rpm. Carbs were dirty but fortunately there was no corrosion nor damaged seals, and the engine was running fine again after a cleaning and putting in a new fuel filter. I would consider to take a look at that as well when you service the bike, especially if it has a history of using gasoline with ethanol, combined with long periods of winter storage, which I assume are usual in Norway.
I doing anything with the carbs Ivans jet kit is definately the way to go, forget dynojet, mine was so smooth all the way through once 'Ivanised'.While you are at it junk the AIS system too as it makes the plugs much easier to get to.
