I know you pain man. a young driver here didn't look where she was going a.k.a turn her head right to see me right next to her. anyway I have upgraded my bars for personal reasons as I have Rheumatoid Arthritis. I have gone for a Renthal TwinWall bar that is more straighter and slightly longer...

getting that right rebound and compression helps out a LOT! that way you can stiffen up your preload etc. if need and have that compression absorb the quick bumps we face on the roads.

I am showing this to my partner. that is epic! I have to give a shout out to my partner however who offered to buy me my new D.I.D chain when my bigger rear sprocket was too much for the standard 122 link.

Yeah fair enough, talking about India I have seen good reviews on the KTM Duke 200 and 390 that are made their. guess is all depends though. Definately layer up take a backpack or something for extras or if you do get too hot you can take them off. theres plenty of motorcycle thermal gloves...

Made in Thailand? with only one Allen key I would expect it to be assembled in Sweden at some unamed furniture maker :p

That is one hell of a way to put it. so basically your saying if you just test ride one with your Helmet on you are fine but dont get caught being seen with it in public? lol

They are a great bike, just dont forget that the smaller bikes like the CBR250 i aimed at the beginner rider whose just gotten their licence and try keeping the costs down as much as possible to get someone out riding. I guess they wouldn't want them playing too much either being a beginner...

Yeah I have heard they are a fun bike. im not sold on the look of it though. I rode a mates KTM 525EXC yesterday and that would go up in 2nd easily rolling on the throttle. Getting the FZ8 up in my opinion is a much more enjoyable achievment and looks a lot cooler too.

Managed to get out with some mates yesterday on a nice Sunny day down here in South Australia. I have just gone up to a 49 tooth rear on my 2013 FZ8 and by god I am loving it. I was doing the method up above cruising in 1st doing 6000ish rpm then quickly shut the throttle off and then snap it...

I too have the 2013 model here in Aus, from what I have been told each C1,C2,C3,C4 is for each cylinder. I didn't need to ground anything and you can notice that it has taken effect.

Sorry to resurrect an old topic but I have a question for those who have removed the AIS completely. 1. When you removed it completely did you unplug the electrical connection? 2. did you do anything with that connection if so? 3. have you had any problems of any kind? as in has the bike gone...

I have adjusted mine and from what I can tell so far is that I now have much smoother throttle than before and does feel to go that extra bit better. I will try booking in some Dyno time and do some adjustments through runs and post the results up see what works and what doesn't. it goes up or...

Lol Head Mechanic as in was running the shop floor with lots of experience on Yamaha's

Definately agree with you there. for others that need or want just that bit extra increase across the board and dont want to spend the extra it seems you can gain a bit of oomph for it by playing around till you get it right. would really need to pay for the dyno time so you can see what works...

for more of a look with results see here. Dyno and tune using CO adjustment with Leo Vince - Sportbikes.net
