If your steering feels slow your steering bearings might need a bit of attention/grease/adjustment/throwing in the bin or your front tyre might be worn out. The standard size is 110 but a lot of bike have a 120 which I found slower to turn in. What sort of bike are you coming from? You might just need time to get used to the fazer but they are generally quite nimble. There's all the manuals you need in the download section including a parts manual in case you need to get anything from Yamaha http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php?action=downloads;cat=2 A sticky back brake is common as the guys have said. They need regular cleaning because they're mounted under the disc so the brake dust collects in them and the pistons stick on. One other thing to check is the front sprocket nut. It has a tendency to work itself loose. There's a thicker upgraded 12mm nut from Yamaha that replaces the standard 9mm nut. You check that out. Plenty of people have checked only to find out the nut has fallen off and there's nothing holding the front sprocket on.
