2017 Yamaha Fazer Overview
The 2017 Yamaha Fazer is a sport motorcycle built around 153 cc of displacement. Under the tank sits a Single cylinder, four-stroke engine running Single Overhead Cams (SOHC) valve actuation, a compression ratio of 9.5:1. The bore and stroke measures 58 x 57.9 mm. 2017 Yamaha Fazer delivers 13.60 Nm @ 6000 Revolutions of torque. From a practical standpoint, the 2017 Fazer tips the scales at 141 kg, carries a 13.60-litre fuel tank, offers a seat height of 795 mm and spans a 1,334 mm wheelbase. That's roughly 61.3 kg lighter than the average sport motorcycle in our database.

2017 Fazer - Pros & Cons
Strengths
-
✓
Factory engineering: The 2017 Yamaha Fazer represents Yamaha's engineering at the time, with a specification built around real-world usability.
Considerations
-
🔧
Carburetor fuelling: Carbureted engines need occasional jetting attention and can be reluctant in cold weather or at altitude compared to modern fuel-injected alternatives.
-
⚙️
Chain final drive upkeep: Chain final drive needs regular cleaning, lubrication and tension checks to get full life out of the sprockets.
Wear Points & Servicing Notes
Carburetor maintenance
The Fazer uses carburetion rather than fuel injection, which means jetting is altitude- and temperature-sensitive and benefits from a clean-and-rejet after extended storage or an exhaust change.
Valve clearance checks
Single Overhead Cams (SOHC) valve actuation on the Fazer means clearances should be checked at the manufacturer's specified interval - they can tighten as mileage accumulates, and a light top-end tick is usually the first sign.
Suspension condition on used examples
Up front, the Fazer runs Telescopic Hydraulic and Ajustable, Hydraulic Shock Absorber at the rear. On a used example, check fork seals for weeping oil and test the rear linkage for play - seals are a relatively cheap fix but useful when negotiating price.
Final drive maintenance
Final drive is by chain - expect to clean and lube it every few hundred kilometres and check tension regularly; a neglected chain wears the sprockets faster than the chain itself.
Frame & chassis check
The frame is Diamond - worth a visual check for corrosion or impact damage around the head-stock and swingarm pivot on any used example, since frame damage is far costlier to fix than any service item.
Fazer - Buying & Maintenance Guide
What to check before buying
When inspecting a used 2017 Yamaha Fazer, start with the basics: check the service book for oil change frequency, inspect the chain and sprockets for wear, and look for oil seepage around the engine casings and rocker covers. A cold start test is invaluable - a well-maintained Fazer should fire up cleanly and settle to a smooth idle within a few seconds.
Oil and filter changes
Regular oil changes are the single most important maintenance task on any Fazer. Stick to the manufacturer's interval - typically every 6,000 km or once a year, whichever comes first. Always use the correct viscosity grade as specified in the owner's manual.
Carburetor upkeep
Keep the carburetors clean and free of deposits. If the Fazer has been stored, strip and clean the carb float bowls before attempting to start it. Pilot jets are the first to block and the last to be checked - always include them in any carb rebuild.
Valve clearance service
Check that valve clearances have been adjusted at the correct intervals on any used Fazer. A bike with clearances out of spec doesn't always feel obviously wrong - but tight clearances accelerate valve seat wear. Ask for service documentation proving it's been done.
