You guys should do more research, the 06 Fazer had bad fuel injection glitches that were "solved" in the 07 model.

 

When I say "solved" I mean hidden, what they did is to flatten out the power to cover up a flatspot in the torque curve. Which is, reducing power at the area to mask it.

 

There has been some talk in foreign forums of cures that have to do with disbaling the secondary throttle butterflies and/or fooling them with a device made by a tuner called "Ivan" (Ivan's blah blah blah - his stuff is quite popular)

 

The problem comes about because of EURO emmissions regs. On a closed throttle, above a certain rpm, they stop injecting fuel in (to make the engine burn cleaner), so if you get back on the throttle in that area, when zero fuel is being squirted in, it takes a fraction of a second for the fuel to travel and get in and ignite, giving a slight jerk. Even my 07 still has the problem.

 

Its a great bike, only gripes are the small tank (18 litres for this class is a little anorexic), small storage (the underseat space is tiny), jerky fuel injection (can ride around it, but it is unrefined when compared to my R1), bad fuel economy (190 kms per 14 litres - but that might be my right hand), No compression damping in the rear shock (this bike really needs ALOT of stiffenning up from new), high beams not that bright, and worst of all: it wont wheelie like the 05 Fazer!!!!

 

Good stuff:

 

Great Road Presence, addictive mid range roar, great looks, real comfy, bulletproof engine, '02 R1 Brakes, not as hot as the R1 (no fairing), wide bars make it a fun to chuck around, best mirrors ever-like I have eyes at the back of my head!

 

Best free mod:

 

Cut out the snorkel in the airbox and reroute the wiring to go under the tank, instead of through the frame.

 

Instant induction roar from under the tank and slightly cooler running.

 

On the whole, I cant afford a KTM 990 Superduke, which is my dream road bike, so I'll have to settle for this.

 

S'good enough for the money!

 

 

PS - Many frames on this bike have cracked due to falls and stuff, watch the welds on the side spars when buying a 2nd hand one. I have seen one local rider with a cracked frame already. Check all around the weld and use silicone and a black light if you have the opportunity, it will show the cracks if there are any.

18.5k seems alright to me.. wonder how much is my insurance for FZ1'08... 23 this yr... anybody can tell me?

 

Are u going for 3rd party or 2rd party insurance?

If 3rd party, i think need to top up $300 - $500 more.

But for 2rd party, more ex due to ur age, around $19.4 - $19.6 OTR for Fazer 1000 '08'

Ya lor... but i think new bikes they dun allow 3rd party unless u pay striaght cash. maybe 1 yr of 2nd party then change to 3rd party... to be safe. anyway.. i'll go find out one of these days from BP how much OTR for me.. thanks for ur advice...

Hi guys, I am a new Fazer owner. I just bought the bike from Looi's Motor at Kaki Bukit Place. The sales manager Mr Lee was very honest and friendly and calculated with me these following details that made me sign on the contract.

The price and breakdown of things are as follows:

Yamaha FZ1 Fazer 2008 (Lava Red) - S$19.2K OTR

Includes insurance for M/26yrs old, 5yrs riding exp, 20%NCB (My insurance is under AIG priced at S$1008/- 2nd party fire and theft)

1/2 yr Rd tax priced at S$160/- and IU Unit

COE bidded at S$1012/-

Admin, Registration, Number retention and Transfer Fees

I asked for frame sliders, bike cover and forgot to ask for the headlight protector which I will ask for when I collect my bike.

 

Took in my CB400 Hyper VTEC at 4K, less outstanding installment with De Xing at 1.5K, trade in value of 2.5K

 

19.2K OTR price less 2.5K deposit = 16.7K X 0.04% interest p.a for 5yrs, divide by 60 mths = S$334/- per month.

 

I wanted to put in another amount of 3K as cash deposit but I thought to myself what the heck, the 3K could be used for other means and furthermore I will be riding this bike for a very long time so I can afford the 5 year installment arrangement. Hope this info is useful to all those potential Fazer owners. Do be warned that initially I wanted to get the Graphite colour but when I viewed it, it was very dull. The engine casting colour for 2008 models are grey in colour and the inverted forks for the Lava Red colour scheme is painted black, not gold. But it remains gold on the Graphite an Ocean Depth colour scheme. For more details, check out the yamaha motor webbie.I can't wait to collect mine on 29th Jan 2008. Yipee!!!
