I thought alright you were new to biking. What did you have prior to buying the fazer? Good choice of bike as it is a great all rounder. It is most likely the previous owner adjusted the lever to suit his foot. The first thing I do with any bike I buy is adjust the leveres to suit me, no two people are the same on a bike, similar but never the same.
Put the bike on the centre stand then sit on the bike. Now with you in your normal relaxed riding position, check the position of you left foot in relation to the round edge at the end of the gear lever. It should be about a half inch from the bottom of the sole of the your boot. You should have to lift you boot about that height to put it on top of the lever to change down and move it about the same amount to get under the lever to change up. You only require minimum movement to change gear up or down. This is a start point. Go back to my first post and do exactly as it says.
