Gen 1 fazer - odometer reads in kilometres
#16
The friendly lady at Yamaha UK has confirmed it's a French import, and had 104bhp when new. She said having an odometer in kilometres is quite common, and not illegal.
  • Clocks: should I just leave them as they are? Guess I could buy those off ebay and put them on when my bike reaches 16,000 - but that's £200. I'm planning a long Euro trip on it in the summer, KM tripmeter might be quite handy!
  • Headlights: They don't appear to dip down either side, I'll check next time I'm out at night - I guess this would have been picked up in previous MOTs.
  • Restriction: I saw a post that mentioned removing the plastic mushrooms from the carbs. Is this quick and easy to do? Saw this and got worried... (http://www.cartestsoftware.com/fz1/carbremoval.html)
  • Legal stuff: Do I need to tell the DVLA? Do I need to tell my insurance?
  • Value: is it worth less?
  • Ask the obvious: Should I just stop worrying about this, and get out and enjoy what is a cracking bike on a nice sunny March morning?!
PS Great forum - thanks for all the help. Thought I should include a photo of the bike (it's not smoke out the back - it was minus 6!)
