It has the 7k tacho error which I know is the exup valve not working properly. Is it worth the risk buying it or am I asking for trouble? I know that replacing the exup can be prohibitively expensive if it is knadgered. Is there a way to tell if is it ok without taking the bike apart on his drive! Not ridden much, this would be my first big bike so doubt I could tell anything is wrong if riding it with a duff exup! Many thanks!Hello and welcome. Buying it depends on a number of factors, mainly the price. If its cheap enough, in decent condition and the owner checks out aswell as the bike then go for it. If you have any doubts then steer clear as the right one will come along. There are always plenty for sale with varying amounts of mileage and of different ages. What ever you do, don't buy a Gen 2. The Gen 1 is far superior :lol
Yamaha Fazer 'the only bike you'll ever need' maybe ???
