The battery is 2 years old, and the bike fired right up after spending the long Michigan winter in storage. Pickup only but I'm willing to travel a reasonable distance to deliver or meet, any other questions please contact me. Runs and rides, carbs could use a cleaning or some good, hard riding to blow them out ; , battery could use a light charge from sitting. Any advice will be great, Aloha and God Bless, Sal. These rotors are manufactured from high-quality materials and are guaranteed to give you pristine stopping performance. To use these late type friction plates remove the old clutch plate separator O-Rings discard , and add 1 additional steel drive plate and replace all 6 old type thick friction plates with 7pc.
I ride it every couple of days. I have had it for 2 years now, and have only driven it 400 miles so far. The same applies to the passenger footpads. I checked it today by letting loose of the handlebars while riding at 50mph and it tracked perfectly. If you have more inseam than my 5-foot, 10-inch frame, flexible knees are a must.
General Comments: This bike just feels right. The sale includes one original key, a 2nd key, the original owner's manual, a Clymer repair manual, a storage cover, spare brake pads, and spare spark plugs. Mine was souped up with the Dial-a-Jet carb kit, and SuperTrapp exhaust, which helped increase performance a good bit. I did put the stock handle bars back on for test drives and for a more comfortable long ride, but the drop bars will sell with the bike and are easy to put back. The gas tank sports an aircraft-type filler cap, and everything from the chromed, functional air scoops to the passenger grab rail has been detailed for a futuristic look. The only thing that doesn't work correctly is the reserve gas switch, or maybe I just don't know how to work it; I simply re-set the tripmeter to zero when I fill the tank up, then when the tripmeter gets to 100 miles I fill the tank again and reset the tripmeter to zero again, and I have never had a problem. Just email or give me a call 830-832-2442.
A fast shift at redline to second is followed an instant later by another fast shift to third, blurring the scenery mere seconds after leaving a standstill. Sold as is, where is, no warranty. Given the task of developing a completely new genre for the 1986 American market, the motorcycle designers at Yamaha must have spent many a sleepless night before settling on the Fazer. It is only a fraction of an inch out of place, but I am unable to figure out what I need to do to realign it. A light panel mounted widthwise on the front of the ersatz gas tank houses the coolant gauge and indicator lights.
This bike features the 5-valve Genesis motor, which looks and sounds fantastic. Yamaha is aware of the problem, and the factory is taking steps to correct it. I still get the same thrill when I feel it's power and hear that engine as I did back in '87. General Comments: I'm an old geezer and have been riding for many, many years. You can list all and also sign up for e-mail notification when such bikes are advertised in the future. And this was stock out of the box back in 1985! Have owned over 50 motorcycles. .
Found out the fan doesn't turn on. For this reason he was willing to sell it dirt cheap. I have been told that higher mileage Fazers typically require valve adjustment or shimming at higher miles. Actually has 30780 miles on it right now. At the heart of it beats a fuel-injected 80-cubic-inch engine, surrounded by a chassis built to handle.
A rear-offset aluminum fork brace prevents any lateral or torsional fork flex, though we did notice a touch of fore and aft movement under heavy braking. I think mileage is closer to 35,000. Used in concert, the triple discs haul the Fazer down to zero mph with authoritative force. The fork is bare of anti-dive or any external adjustments save air, but set at minimum pressure it works very well. The bike is in pretty good shape, new clutch and new rubber front and rear, could use some work on the exhaust, has some scratches here and there but otherwise in good shape, rides smooth and true, price is negotiable, cash only.
Fast forward to October 2009. It turns out that the bike I was riding is totaled. These bikes are becoming collectors bikes. Fitment Notes Universal Fit Parts fit a range of vehicles, and may or may not fit your current bike without modification. I hit him head on in his right front headlight and somersaulted over the handlebars into his windshield up side down.
