I too am looking for a map for this setup. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Where can I get the Jumbo map? I've got the V&H CSOne and no other performance mods. I'm using the Two Brothers map that came with the PCV and its a definite improvement, but I'm sure it could be better (outside of getting a dyno tune). Aside from increased and more linear power throughout the...

On what basis are you suggesting to not install the optimizer and disconnect the O2 sensor?

I've got a V&H slip on, no airbox mod, and the PCV as well. I am just trying the Two Brothers map from Dynojet and while it is a huge improvement already, I would love to find something that is specific for the V&H (I'm sure a lot of guys have this set up). On another note, does anyone know...

Fz8 Yamaha Rad Guard I painted the aluminum rad guard with flat black high-heat spray paint, couple of coats. It looks much better and has held up perfectly well (many months ago now). Total cost about $20.

I've got these bags. They're awesome. But, I have the stock rear fender. The bags are obviously designed for the stock setup, and I couldn't say if they would work with a tail tidy or not but I'm guessing not. If the bracket you asked about is the one for use without the trunk bag, that's the...

I experience the same sort of thing. I don't think it's a misfire, feels like throttle/valve timing. It's not major but it can be a little unnerving. I just plan to have the techs look into it when the valves are adjusted at 4000 miles (1800 more miles for me).

I've seen video of a guy on a GSXR hitting a deer in exactly the same fashion except at probably 60+ mph, and he kept it up too, no obvious damage to the bike. There was obvious damage to the deer though. I hope it had good insurance.

I've got a CS One Blackout on backorder, and I have the same concern/excitement about volume. In the only two videos of it I've been able to find at least, it seems to be pretty darn loud. I don't know how it stacks up vs. other exhausts. That said, it sure sounds awesome, and if it's a little...

Yesterday I filled up my FZ8 and noticed for the first time (1500 mi) a small ring of fuel spreading up around the tank opening rubber gasket onto the tank. It was minor and I was pumping fast, but this has never happened before. Anyone else? It was in the middle of the ride and she was hot, so...

2010 Honda Fit Sport Black, tinted windows, window rain shields, a Cuban vanity plate and a Yamaha decal.

I have been running 93 which is the highest they offer here through break in and now to 1500 miles, but I will use the lowest octane fuel that doesn't give me problems after my next oil change. I don't use 10 gasohol though, even tho I do in my car. Just being cautious.

The article just says 'suspension'. I wouldn't mind having the radiator fairing on my FZ8.

The FZ8 service manual says to get your first service between 600 and 1000 miles (dealer did mine at about 800), and the next scheduled service is at 4000 miles. I've seen folks on here say to change the oil every 500 miles until 2000, but on a modern bike I'm not sure what the justification...

Vance & Hines CS One Blackout for Yamaha FZ8 Just ordered my V&H CS One Blackout (on backorder until the 10th...grrr...). Can't imagine a can looking much better on this bike than that...or sounding better if these two vids are to be believed. Definitely was designed specific for the FZ8. Fz8...
