Compared to my previous bikes (Fireblades, ZX12R, Speed Triple) my Fazer thou handled like a barge when I first got it and I was really disappointed. However there are a few tweaks that can be done to make a big difference. The key is to get more front biased weight distribution, so firstly if the bike still has the original shock set the preload to max, next step is to drop the forks through the yokes by about 12mm, finally fit a jack-up kit. Total cost ~£15, time taken ~1hr, difference = massive. If it's original the rear shock will be knackered and replacing it with either a R6 or 3rd party unit would step things up another level, I recon my Fazer now handles just as well as my previous sports orientated bikes.
