Hi I’m new to biking let alone Yamaha . I started on a Yamaha ys 125, I’ve now passed and bought ( Thro sound advice from a bike enthusiast colleague ) an 18 year old immaculate Yamaha FZS 600 with lots of extras on it. I’m using a motorbike now purely for commuting to a new job, that has ever tool I will ever need on site, so no longer need to use a family minibus ( 6 kids and we foster )
there are a couple of things that make me a little uneasy as a new rider, im not the tallest guy in the world, and whilst im not at full tiptoe, I would prefer to have my feet flat on the ground. I put my left foot down the other day and happened to be in a dip compared to the bike, and nearly lost balance awkwardly so it’s made me apprehensive, can you EASILY lower the Yamaha FZS ? My colleague believes you can but others have said it’s a lot of work.
The other issue is, which im sure you will all tell me it is the best way, my first bike had gear indication and this one hasn’t, it feels so much better already knowing what gear I am in as I approach a junction. I’ve seen the kits, and as an electrician I would like to think I could wire this in, but, it seems you have to order the exact one for your bike, and mine seems so much more expensive, unless you go for universal kits. Apologies for waffling on. Any assistance and advice would be appreciated
Dan
