Hi group. Thanks for letting me join.
I have just bought a 2004 Fazer 1000 last month. I wasn't looking for one with any seriousness but they did catch my eye when I was searching for other yamaha parts over the last couple of years (I have just rebuilt my 1976 RD400..again, for the last time..my pride and joy, bought in boxes in 1991.)
Fazers kept popping up in searches and I thought they are a fantastic looking thing.
One turned up for sale very locally and after a few messages and a viewing a deal was made.
It is very tidy considering its 20 years old, but needed the exup system sorting. A new servo was sourced and fitted and all is well. I obviously had to set up controls to suit me and a set of bar risers due to aching joints. I have removed the Givi rack for now as it looks cleaner but will be using it when I find a box to fit. Passenger rails are hopefully on the way.
Done around 300 miles on it already...and what a machine it is.!
Looking forward to putting a lot more miles on it..
Here's a few pictures of it..and my RD..
