weak points of the fazer ! mmmm
top of the tree as everyone has said is
the exup valve
electrical connectors (especially the big one under the tank )
front wheel bearing rear wheel bearing rear sprocket carrier bearing ( normall for owners that jet wash there bikes)
2nd gear has been know to give up the ghost ! (but fairly rare, early well abused bikes ) also the gear selector forks are prone to wear or bend ( I think)
Cam chain ( mmmm no more than any other bike but people are changing them simply because they love there bikes)
rear shock
front forks aren't great but adequate
rear brake might need tinkering
people like to change the gear selector to make the gear change more positive
chain and sprockets can be munched on if not cared for
a lot of people also change to a zx9 clutch lever too
my biggest grip is the battery but its self inficted as I don't use it enough
these are all minor issues unless your cam chain adjuster goes
I'm sure there's more but don't be put off the gen 1 fazer is a great bike and you wont regret slinging your leg over it !
