what did you do with your fazer today ?

[BBROWN1664]

I took my Fazer off the road once for almost 5 yrs, I did the above, rolled it out and started it.  I didn't even change the fuel, there're too many myths out there.

I am certain that fuel is the issue these days. My original FZS600 would sit for 2-3 months without even a triclke charge and start on the button. That was 15 years ago though.
The current FZS had been stood for a number of years and the carbs were not gummed up. Leave it now for a couple of months and they start to gum up. The difference now is the amount of ethanol in the fuel that was never there before.
