Prefer silver but anything considered. For 2005 Fazer 1000.
Cheers.

Clutching at straws here, but I wonder if a slight engine vibration is being felt at the handle bars but only when the front wheel is clamped solid by the brake. The buzzing noise could also be from this vibration.
Have you checked the front wheel bearings for any play as that could also be causing the high speed wobble.
All unlikely I know, but there must be an explanation somewhere.
Good luck with it.
Wheel bearing seems fine, not been out for a few days so will continue checking tomorrow during my commute. ... Cheers.

Does the bike creep with the clutch pulled in and the brakes off, try knocking the bike into neutral and see if it still does it, could it be clutch needing adjusted.
No good, still does in neutral

Got to be something to do with ABS brakes I would think, but as I know virtually nothing about them I will say no more but watch this post with interest.
Would be my first thought also but I don't have ABS

Noticed this today when sat in traffic, not just making a buzzing noise but causing the bars to vibrate.... As soon as I let off the brake lever it stops .... Anyone had this? Also got a fairly bad front end wobble at 110+mph (on track) that I have been trying to diagnose so I know the discs calipers etc are all tight, this is probably down to the 10k miles I have put on the pr3 tyres, mostly motorway so a bit squared off. Shame as there is loads of tread left. It's only Google telling me this, I'm no expert Cheers.

Looks fantastic, I like it. 
Thanks dazza, going to order the rad end covers now I know the colour is ok Much prefer them to mine and they actually serve a purpose directing air through the rad..

Well happy with the seat considering the price, very good quality and although I was not sure about a white seat I quite like it  The seat cowl came direct from Ermax, was worried about the colour match as the bike was painted in 2012 and I had no idea what paint they used.... it is actually close enough to presume they used the yam pearl white  oh and they even popped a free T-shirt in the box

As above, under a year old and only used once recently for a 3.5k Europe tour. Wont use again so moving on or will ad to the rest of my stored goodies Its a bit dusty from the trip but will clean up if anyone interested. I also fitted the original Givi stop light kit. Sorry but i cant and wont post these so pick up only from Harlow or Cambridge. £170 bargain but it is pick up so got to be worth the trip.. Oxford side bags too if anyone wants them, a little grubby now but 100% usable, again pick up only £20.

Looks stacked, packed and racked.
Have a great voyage. Don't forget to visit Cafe FahrtWind in Honningen before or after the Ring.
Thanks mate, Cafe is a perfect stop point just before the ring. Thanks for that

Personally, I'd junk the spares, its not like your going to sub-Sahara Africa, most of the counties are well served by Yamaha dealers and if you think those components are going to fail (clutch cable) change them now. If your in the UK you wouldn't think twice about doing that sort of mileage between services.
I did 4.5K to Malta, visiting all but Slovakia and Hungary on your list, back in 2014 and only had cable ties, puncture repair kit with additional CO2 bottles, cheap (£10) compressor from tescos, front & rear spindle sockets with large breaker bar. plus obviously standard tool kit with added 6mmAF Allen key, can't get tank off otherwise.
My GEN 1 had a good service beforehand and a new chain and sprockets and had done 35k before the trip
Just make sure to get a recovery/breakdown insurance and most of all just get out there and enjoy!!!!!!!!
The levers and cables are more for if the bike drops and they get broken Yes good breakdown and insurance will be in place

Hi guys. Two of us heading off in June covering around 3.5k miles. Bikes are gen 1 & 2 Fazer 1000, both have just been treated to new chain and sprockets and a good check over whilst in the local Yamaha dealer for the work. They are in good health and will have fresh oil and filter before we head off. So far for my gen 2 I have spare levers, 2 coil sticks, clutch cable gaffer tape and various size zip ties For the gen 1 so far I think he has levers and cables. We have puncture repair sorted, spare bulbs and fuses, chain lube stupid stickers for helmets when in France... good selection of hand tools. ... So what else should I be taking or things to do before we go. Countries being covered France Belgium Germany, Austria Hungary Slovakia Switzerland Netherlands and Italy... think that's it Thoughts and or comments
