So far my Fazer 1000 has been reliable enough, Ive owned it from new, done all of the servicing myself [its very easy to work on]. It retains ALL of the original suspension and ALL bearings [including wheel and steering brgs] apart from one drive side swing arm bearing which I replaced after only 25000 miles.I have recently replaced the throttle cables as one was frayed. Speaking of cables, I no longer use exup cables as they only lasted 30000 each.I have 'fallen off' many times and can generally bend it back into shape and although it no longer has a fairing I use it mainly through the winter to save my other bikes getting covered in salt.I have never commuted,I only ever ride for pleasure and have now travelled just over 144000 miles on it, its just run in!!! :lol
