Cheers for the reply. Unfortunately my bike seems underpowered. I've only had twins before, the last 2 being an sv650s and a tdm850 but expected more from the fz. At 70mph I open the throttle and it "thinks" about going faster before slowly increasing in speed(probably just needs carbs setting up properly) and the chain needs replacing as there's a hell of a tight spot. At the sort of value the bike is worth I'm not sure it's worth me spending any money on it. I may just sell it on and try to recoup most of what I paid for it and buy something else......So if anyone wants a 1990 fz750 genesis, taxed til the end of november and tested til April 08 for £550 give me a shout. I'm not desperate to get rid and may get it sorted so please no silly offers! Cheers, Paul.

Hi, went to Hungary on my TDM850 a couple of weeks ago and ended up selling it over there (not planned) and flying home. When I got home I regretted it and quickly looked round for a cheap bike and put a deposit on a 1990 fz750 genesis which i'm picking up tonight. It was a spur of the moment buy as I don't know anything about these bikes having previously owned a few cx 500's, an sv650s then the TDM. Is there anything I should be wary of reliability wise? The bike and owner seem pretty straight. I was told it had different carbs on it, that it had recent fork seals, chain and sprockets, seat etc. He said the choke was a pain until warmed up, the engine sounded quiet enough considering 39000 miles or so. The bike's not perfect but then again I didn't expect it to be after 17 years ( and I'm paying very little for it anyway). Any pointers would be appreciated. Cheers, Paul.
