    ABS Port Location

    On my non-ABS FZ8, the finned aluminum ignition module is under the seat..above the rear tire by the rear Shock. On ABS models, they move the finned aluminum ignition module to the lower side by the exhaust/footpeg area. Reason is they use the under seat area for the ABS Module. So that's where...

    Power Commander Map

    Pretty much same as mine. Previous owner did 2 Bros, K&N, box MOD, Power Commander, AIS blockoff plates and gutted cat. I finished off the half-azz gutted cat. Then I shortened the 2 Bros can. Mostly for cosmetics. I ended up adding the 2 Bros decibel reducer. But I like it. As for the PC map...

    LED headlight PLEASE HELP!

    No resistor needed. That only applies to LED signals to stop fast flash of error code on Canbus systems. The current load on those circuits (flashers) are so low, it sees it as a blown bulb. Our bikes are not Canbus, so no headlamp error will show. The bulbs need to be verified for correct PIN...

    Engine misses at low rpm- thought it was non valve adjust, but no

    To answer your last question, I think you have the most miles. Lol. At least I never heard anyone say they had that many. Secondly, have you ever replaced the plugs? When last? What do they look like now? Also when inspection plugs, check for any small fracture lines on the porcelain body

    How to remove stock turn signals

    The rubber flexible base should just pop out of the plastic headlamp side panel in which it is attached.

    BOSS MCBK420B Speaker Installation.

    Once comfortable with the mounting locations, plan out your wiring. You can also use Velcro to mount the app underseat location. Since you need battery access, remove riders seat. Look into the YouTube video or Google the HowTo pages on installing a Power Commander in a fz8. These pics and...
