Thanks for your comment, and yes, I'm aware that this is a UK site. Fazer being a very rare model in the U.S. ('86 and '87 model years only), there seem to be no Fazer groups over here. There are a couple that are sub-groups of other Yamaha models, but the sites don't seem to be maintained as I tried to join and never got a response. I know that there were later models in Europe that were called Fazers, but I actually don't know if what we call the Fazer in the U.S. were ever sold in the UK. Maybe you know. In the model Fazer (FZX700) that I have, the engine and portions of the chassis are very closely related to the FZ750 sportbike. The 700cc displacement came about because of the tariff imposed by the US on bikes over 700cc.
