Hello all.
I just recently bought a used Fazer 1999 with 41.000 Miles. This is my second bike overall. My previous one was a Honda CBF500 from 2005.
I would like to have your opinion on the following: I find the sound engine is always asking for an upper gear from about 3000-3500 RPM. I frequently try to find a "7th gear" when its revving 3000-4000 RPM. At 5000 RPM it sound as if I am on the redline. Also the foot pegs vibrate quite a bit. Is this normal? I feel the engine sound strange as if the engine is stretching out and asking for an upper gear on low RPM. Would this be because I am not used to the sound of a 4 cylinder 95 BHP comparing to a former 2 Cylinder 50 BHP bike? Or there might be an issue?
Any opinions, specially from previous 2 cylinder lower BHP previous bike owners?
Thank you
Miguel
