Can't stop grinning and can't wait to get out on her! http://i1057.photobucket.com/albums/t392/9akermanj/Mobile%20Uploads/50393B5F-C995-4A16-A3D5-ACD095C55AAB.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aky208 Posted March 26, 2016 Author Share Posted March 26, 2016 Thanks all for your replies. I had to get the guy who sold it to me to ride it home as I was bricking it too much. To start off with I will go up and down my road this bank holiday and get used to being back on a bike. After that I will start to use it on the 7 mile commute to work.

Gin Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Don't worry about taking it easy at all!We've all been there I'm still nervous the first colour of miles when I take the Sprint out cos I'm sooo scared of dropping her...! In fact, now I think about it my first proper bike experience was my uncle taking me and my 125 to an abandoned car park with his van so I could build up confidence! If anything just glad you're being sensible and not putting yourself out of your comfort zone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshTimmins Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Nice Bike! EnjoyI did the same thing when i got my first big bike, literally went round the block for the first few days. Clockwise and then anti-clockwise so I could practise turning in both directions. Before you know it you will be doing hundreds of miles a day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Pfft don't be scared it'll only go as fast as you twist the throttle. Trying passing your CBT and on the same day buying a 600 from a motorbike shop and having them all watch you do a hill start on your brand new 600 [emoji39] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aky208 Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 Haha thanks all. Decided I couldn't wait for better weather and went for a quick ride last night. it was a little bit hairy but it all started coming back to me. I love being on it and when I get off, I'm inventing excuses to justify the next time I get on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 If you've got waterproof gear and a pinlock visor riding in the rain shouldn't really be an issue. Nice one for getting out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valko Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Nice bike I have the same Foxeye in silver Great engine and the best brakes in class. Check that front sprocket nut has been changed.

The only thing I have noticed to be a bit crap is the headlights. It seems I would be better off wearing a head torch occasionally! Is this normal for these bikes? Any upgrades I should be aware of?

It seems I would be better off wearing a head torch occasionally! Is this normal for these bikes? Any upgrades I should be aware of? Not normal for your version of the Fazer. The Foxeye has the one of the best headlights in the class. They both work as dipped and as high beams as well. Its unheard to have any mods for this model. Boxeye the previous model is notorious for bad lights.Something must be wrong with yours. Check and clean with contact cleaner from Halfords the the connections and check the voltage. Replace the bulbs. They may need regulating for the beam. Or the reflectors may be damaged. The lights on that bike are so good I never even put the upgraded Phillips bulbs I bought some time ago.Download and read the service manual and owners manual from here: http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php?action=downloads;cat=2" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;To have a bad lights on Foxeye - not normal.

Aky208 Posted April 10, 2016 Author Share Posted April 10, 2016 Ah, thanks for the info. Will see what I can do tomorrow night. It maybe related to the other electrical issues I'm having. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
