Ta Mort, test ride this week, unfortunately it fits Lin as well !
Trying an 02 model, the carb version seems to get far better write up for fuel and being smoother,
Had a 2004 Fazer for a year. It had plenty of power, handled well once the suspension was tweeked and comfortable enough to pile on the miles. But it just didn't have 'the fizz' and I've now come to the conclusion that I prefer twin cylinder engines, the IL4 engine just no longer does it for me. Still, for many, the Fazer is a great bike and like the early first model 600 Fazers, the one to go for as Yamaha ruined it when they updated the model with the fuel injected current one. I sold mine after just one years ownership.
What's not to like
Vario screen, custom seat, exhaust, Ivanised carbs, hugger, pannier frames & rack, Ohlins shock, front forks sorted by Reactive suspension, FSH, all standard bits, 54 plate, I know the owner so no hidden history ... 2k
