Check the service manual, it has a dedicated chapter on the carburetor alone.

« on: 11 December 2023, 05:51:43 pm »Possibly, depends how bad or not to you shock is. What do you ride currently?
Currently nothing, sold my PD06 Hond Transalp a few months ago. I am looking for a solid but inexpensive learner bike for 2 or 3 years.
A local dealer (Germany, sold with one year of warranty) has offered me a Fazer 600 (2001) with 20k km in very good condition for a bit over 2000€.
But I am not sure if I should not spend a few Euros more on a CB500X, if I have to upgrade the rear suspension and possibly the exhaust manifold of the Fazer.

« on: 11 December 2023, 05:23:25 pm »Yes. It depends on quite a few factors, but even a well looked after bike. The shock at 15k miles ish will have lost its edge at least, most will have stopped damping in any predictable manner. That said one of the factors is how and where you ride, a past it's best shock my not be noticed by you.
Thanks for the quick answer, I did not expect you to reply.
So technically I can ride on without having to upgrade the rear suspension? It's just not a great experience I guess.

Sorry to dig this up, but I am thinking of buying a used Fazer 600 and see many models with 40k + kilometres on the clock. Do I really need to change the rear suspension shortly after my purchase? Because they are quite costly (300€+), money I do not really wanna spend on such an old bike.
