2007 Yamaha FZ1 Fazer ABS 1.0L Petrol · LB07 EHC

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a persistent mechanical issue regarding the rear suspension assembly. The most recent test in September 2025 at 17,113 miles flagged a worn central rear suspension pin, bush, or joint. This specific defect has appeared consistently in the 2024 and 2023 tests, indicating that while the component has not yet reached a failure point, the wear is progressing without intervention. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nineteen-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 900 miles per year. There is a significant four-year gap between the August 2018 and October 2022 tests, during which the bike covered only 2,351 miles. Since 2022, usage has increased slightly to roughly 1,000 miles annually. This low mileage suggests the vehicle likely sat for long periods, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components like suspension bushes and seals due to age rather than mechanical wear from distance. A buyer must conduct a physical inspection of the rear suspension link and central mounting points to assess the extent of play in the bushings. The recurring advisory for a noisy exhaust silencer in 2023 also warrants checking for internal baffle corrosion or loose bolts on the exhaust system. Given the long periods of low usage and high age, particular attention should also be paid to perished brake lines, seized calipers, and corrosion on the frame, as these are common failure points for motorcycles that remain stationary for extended durations.
