Hi Fazer newbie here ! - HovBiker - 05-03-14
Hi, just signed up to the site and i thought I’d introduce myself.
I live in gwent and have got to an age where blokes try to learn to play the guitar, run a marathon and ride a motorbike-midlife crisis my wife calls it ! One out of three aint bad.
Have never owned or ridden a bike prior to just completing a direct access a week or so ago. I intended on buying a 125 but a colleague had a fazer for sale at a price I couldn`t say no to and so now for couple of weeks have had a 99 Fzs 600 with 13k sat in my shed.
No mot/tax/insurance on it so still haven`t used it yet but itching to get out on it . ( end of month hopefully)
Don’t know what to expect as only ridden a Suzuki van van and a bandit on the course up to now, and to be honest knew nothing about fazers before buying it.
I have cleaned it up a bit and changed the oil, replaced rear calliper seals and taken off the renntec rack and top box it came with. Thinks it looks ok tho for a 99 bike that cost less than the direct access course!
I`ve read a few articles on the site and am now going to change the front sprocket nut as it has the thin one.
Looking forward to some hints and tips from you all ,and possible meet up for a ride.
I`m only ten minutes from Abergavenny and can`t wait to get out and about on the bike.
Will try and post some photos when I can work out how to.
Cheers
Dai

Welcome-that's a tidy looking Boxeye-appears well cared-for. Am looking forward to some rides down into Wales as the weather picks up-like the Oasis café @ Abergavenny Bus station-was last there in June 13. I usually head out Worcester, Hereford then A465 toAber.
