Post by: spinus on 27 August 2017, 05:26:41 pm
Hi all
I'm just saying hello as I've just picked up my fazer
I have no doubt I'll be on here trying to sort problems that will definitely arise


It's just turned 13000 and is very nice
When I start using it I'll let you know how I'm getting on

Welcome.  Nice low mileage bike you've found - what year is it?

First thing to check is the EXUP valve.  Learn to do this yourself even if you don't do any other maintenance.  :)

Hi
Am I right in thinking if there's a problem with the exit valve when turned on the rev counter goes to 7000?
Yep in the last 11 years it's averaged 500 miles per year

yep I know
Having a little trouble navigating your site at min
But I'll get there
I looked in my manual and it was all in there
For the lad who asked earlier it's a 52 reg
I've just taken off blue shortie levers off and put the standard ones on
Much better it for my hands
