Evening mate, welcome in, nice looking bike that, i always liked that colour scheme.




You'll get plenty help here.......if the bike has done anything from 15 k miles onwards then the rear shock is probably passed its best and you can only adjust the preload so if you've tried that then it is replacement time as you cant easily get the shock rebuilt.


Certain R6 shocks are possible with some modification and they get rave reviews.
Easiest way to go fast........don't buy a blue bike

Hagon shocks are good value..tell them your weight and they will set it up for you. Oh and welcome to the mad house

Welcome!-Nice looking bike!
Please dont mention "B*****s"-seriously though Fazers win hands down every time.
The suspension,like many budget Yamahas,is the weakest link(excuse pun!) but easy to replace a tired rear shock.
Enjoy! :lol
