Congratulations. My Fazer is my first Yamaha as well. I love it! I hope your's brings you many miles/years of safe, carefree enjoyment.
Deer whistles...on a bike! Hmmmm? I will say this: On a car I know they work. I bumped a deer once, many years ago. Since then, I had five close calls in as many weeks but after installing a set under my front bumper I have never had a single close call since, (in over three years)!
I had not considered them on my bike but on my first (Fazer) night ride I nearly nailed a (very lucky) deer! He came out of nowhere as quick as a flash and if he were slower or I was faster he would have caught me about head-high! If someone laughs, let them laugh - a deer at any speed on a bike could be deadly! If you live in an area where there are deer, (like I do), perhaps it may be a wise mod? (Where are your's located?)
BTW: If you start worrying about your transmission "clunking" when you change gears - don't! We all not only get used to it, we are sort of addicted to it! Safe riding!
