[Group] YAMAHA Fazer

[nudgedoink]

ok ive asked some people on the international fz6 forum and they said that the spring can be unwound. i'll let u all know the results after i try it

[danielling1981]

hello fazer riders. im interested in getting fz1 for my next bike and hope u guys can help me.

 

have a few questions in mind:

 

1) what are the pros and cons about fazer.

2) where is the best place to get fazer's varieties of accessories. (exp. motoworld?)

3) how much in average for maintenance costs. (things to look for)

 

hope to get a reply from you guys!

 

I'm still new to fazer but here's my reasons on top of giving my opinions o ur queries.

 

1) pros: street riding. Main stand. Put box still handsome. Comfy posture. Good view becoz quite tall bike. Power. not bad fc for cls2 (me 16km/L).

 

Cons: tall bike so some may tip toe, I'm 1.8m but cannot really feet flat on ground, somemore is thin seat. Heavy, for me. Very hot!! (common for cls2). Cannot lane split well for shield version becoz side mirror on faring.

 

2) no opinions.

 

3) think usual things as compared o maybe s4 bike? For me, i will 3 mth change eo, 6 mth change spark and eo filter. Yearly let my shop do wat they think should be done.

 

Now my personal reasons for getting fazer. Well, it was my dream to ride either fz1/6, st11/13 or fjr. Street bike for me!! but i think st and fjr too fat. i still wan to lane split as much as i can.

so u chged ur rear to be 55 to make it higher?

 

not really that's the reason la.. i just like 55 profile than 50..

 

Sry but I'm noob. 190/50 = ??

 

that's a tire profile..

 

190 means width..

50 means height..

 

try google-ing for better understanding..

[pichudot]

my intention to fish a girl la but then a boy answer.......no choice lor...

 

there's no girl in here la.. dun expect a girl will answer u.. u either get a boy or a ladyboy answering back.. hahaha..

[pichudot]

haha..don't like that la bro. missed u guys la. noong nooong time no LKS or top up session. don't tell me i'm the only one who's turning the pages faster............

 

haha..don't like that la bro. missed u guys la. noong nooong time no LKS or top up session. don't tell me i'm the only one who's turning the pages faster............

 

one time post twice consperm faster:cheeky:

 

consperm! :thumb:

[pichudot]

2) where is the best place to get fazer's varieties of accessories. (exp. motoworld?)

 

besides motoWorld, there's lots of other places u can look into, locally or oversea, depends what are u looking at..

[pichudot]

Hi bro, ya miss the rides in 'TIM' land, hope to meet up for a ride one of these weekends:)...more worried about the shitty conditions of the bloody roads nowadays...sand,oil,stones,nut,bolts,wooden logs,rope...saw all thes things on the road in a day's ride,damn scary, really no fun riding in sg anymore!!

 

riding in SG is never fun.. road no fun, drivers also no fun..

 

cus u r the blue lightning mah bro.. too fast already.. ride safe la bro..

 

we'll have good rides soon.. i miss those days i had a 1 day trip with you to Cameron! hahaha!

 

when ah? when's sepang?

[pichudot]

hi Guys getting my FZ1 real soon..... can i ask when you get the bike from the shop what is the free gift to ask for this bike....... what is worth while to ask for..... getting the S model

 

depends on u actually.. see what u need..

 

cus no point asking for e.g helmet where u already have a helmet.. or u know bike shops give chui helmets..

 

but to me, those promos that bike shops give r all gimmicks to me.. in the end, u r paying more than u get it from elsewhere..

 

e.g that bike shop sells u a bike with freebies for e.g 20k, while other bike shops sells u the same bike with no freebie for 18k, u can alws use the 2k to get more stuffs then what is given.. hahaha..

 

i goes for fair & square sales..

[danielling1981]

that's a tire profile..

 

190 means width..

50 means height..

 

try google-ing for better understanding..

 

Thanks for the explanation. I didn't realise fazer front tire is higher than rear...

[pichudot]

Thanks for the explanation. I didn't realise fazer front tire is higher than rear...

 

yup.. front is a 120/70..

[pichudot]

nice? hehehe!

 

[konspire]

hm.. or is there a weaker spring that we can change to?

 

bro, i suggest u put a lot of thought into this mod cos remember u r playing with the throttle spring that closes it, u don't want it to fail where u can't close the throttle ah....so my 2 cents, play wif mod but play carefully n wisely.....jeng jeng jeng.....

I am only 1.7m. Need to tip toe. Sometimes brake and stop at traffic light with 1 leg will face difficulty. But sure attract a lot of eyes.

[danielling1981]

For me, though i cannot fully flat feet on ground, i just as much as possible ensure i gently stop e bike, so when i stop will be slanted sideway a bit, then will be able to flat feet on ground.

 

If need e brake then diff story. :/

 

But i think experience riders will advise tat should take into consideration tat wont tip toe since dangerous.
