New to me Gen 1 Fazer first ride

[ianh]

Nice review and welcome to the fold.


I have had mine since new in 2004, and up to say 6 years ago had no probs with neck and shoulders etc but now I suffer a lot, i put it down to getting old and less flexible/fit!
I Have a dB screen and also a higher one for longer trips, both are fairly noisy opinion here is divided some say use a short one and let your helmet do the work. I fitted dl650 handguards and Oxford grips but now have heated gloves... Never had a prob with the legs but I don't have long legs, that said I cobbled together some highway pegs for long trips just to vary knee position.



Keeping at say half revs, 90ish you can easily get 180-200 from a full tank, even giving it some 170 is no problem.
If it doesn't have one already a multigauge is a nice option/toy.


Enjoy the bike :-)

Thanks. Not heard of a multigauge? Do you still have your handguards? I reckon the fuel consumption will have gone up due to the richer needles etc. I'm happy with the mpg to the light.
I tought a short screen may be better too.
