Title: Newbie in Norfolk
Post by: Hugh Mungus on 23 September 2017, 08:44:08 pm

Hi everyone,
I bought a FZS1000 Fazer about a month ago - a blue one on a 54 plate.
I've already had to remove the exup valve as it was seized up and would not let the engine rev above 6,000 rpm. Happily it now revs all the way to the red-line. I may have lost some bottom end and mid range power but it still goes well enough for me.
After the last year on a V-Strom 1000 (a mistake) I soon got the hang of the Fazer and the missus approved of my purchase after about 5 miles  :thumbup  This is definitely a long term bike.

This is how it looks now after I realised that the stock mirrors are only for looking at your own shoulders.(https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4344/37096931446_6afded294b_c.jpg) (https://flic.kr/p/Yw8thj)


Loving the sound from the Beowulf end can.
