Sorry to hear of this Luke. :(

I take it that's the centre stand that's cracked, and what caused the shit to happen.

Is this quite a common happening on older Fazers? Just would hate it to happen to mine.

I snapped mine in half. I put it down to riding through 9 winters - the corrosion got to it, so if you're the same, it might be worth checking.

Already had mine re-welded by one of the guys at work about 2 years ago, and now is going again on the other side :rolleyes I 'd taken it off so I wouldn't be tempted to use it until I get it done again, but I've had to put it back on cos the engine needs to come out again. 2001 Gen 1 so its had some pain ;)

Been there, done that, got the dent in the tank to prove it.
Be thankful it didn't split completely when you were rocking on. . . . . like it did to someone i know!

Unlucky Luke. Still, at least you didn't drop your camera.  ;)
Personally, I'd have picked the bike up before even considering taking pics.
