1986 Yamaha FZX700 Fazer

Summary:

She's my baby

Faults:

I drove this bike out of the showroom in 1986 & parked it in my front room every winter... she's my baby.

I've had several different bikes over the years, but just could never justify parting with this one. I've had a few issues with carburetors varnishing up after storage, but besides that... I've never had problems.

I'm having issues with front tire size and am not sure if I can increase the front tire size from a 110/90V 16 (stock) to a Metzler 130/90V 16. Any advice would be gladly received.

General Comments:

This bike has performed excellent over the years & roll-on is phenomenal. After 30 years she still turns heads & I'll probably be buried with her... LMAO.

Would you buy another motorcycle from this manufacturer? Yes

If you purchased this motorcycle in Canada new, it should be a 750cc. We didn’t have tariffs on motorcycles in Canada like the U.S. did. They got the 700cc, we got the 750cc.
