My baby of the Fazer family has just gone to its new home and to a fellow foccer. 
Ken (cager in training) arrived with his mechanic to check it over and he can now change his profile from "I don't own a bike" to "1998 Fazer 400". His eagle eyed mechanic noticed some play in the Swinging arm bearings and a tiny bit of notchiness in the steering head bearings which I had not noticed, much to my surprise. I never felt it when I rode it, but then I had not ridden it more than 10miles since my son brought it came back from the UK. His mechanic took it for a spin and also did not notice it when riding it. His comment was the same as mine when I first rode the 400, "it is a really nice little bike to ride"
It has been ultra reliable in the 31000Km my son put on it while I had it. Was really sad to see it go to be honest. :'(
I could not really justify keeping it, but it is I believe gone to a good home and will be taken care of.
