So the new Yamaha Fazer becomes more stylish than the old one. Fazer has also got new and stylish graphics in its body. The plastic resin covering over the fuel tank has given a new look to Fazer. The instrument panels including fuel gauge, speedometer, tachometer and trip meter of Fazer is fully made of Liquid Crystal Display (LED). It has also got an additional indicator which indicates whether the engine has started or not.
