Hello everyone here, I am Hans (72) and I live in the Netherlands. No April Fool's joke, but on April 1st I bought my 2000 FZS600 Fazer in beautiful condition (will post a photo later). I am actually the 3rd owner.
It is my 20th motorcycle, honestly. In 1999 I also bought a brand new black FZS600. But well, after a while I want to try something different again. I really am a Yamaha fan and have owned an FJR1300 4 times, among others. Now a Fazer again. Probably my last motorcycle, though... The FZS600 is a nice little machine, enough power, handles well and, above all, is quite lightweight. I do a lot of the maintenance myself. I only leave checking and adjusting valve clearance and carburetion tuning to the expert.
I just got back from a weekend away with friends, about 25 people. Despite the rain and no ABS, the engine ran like a sewing machine.
I will ask a question further down; it doesn't seem that complicated to me, but so far I haven't been able to find an answer.
Additionally, I hope to find enough other info.
Regards, Hans
