    FZ8 Replacement seat

    I owned the stock seat, then corbin, and now the shad seat. I've put at least a thousand miles on each seat and can definitely say that the shad seat is the one to go with of the three.

    Fuel Economy Issues 2011 FZ8

    Spark plugs are due at 8k miles if I remember right. That's the first thing I'd check/replace.

    Windshield Options

    Also, I owned the Puig windscreen for a while. It worked alright but nowhere near as well as the MRA one does. I think it looked sportier though. Installation was also easier for the Puig but there was no way to adjust it (unlike the MRA).

    Cosmetic vs. Performance?

    Replace/mod the throttle tube. I modified mine but others have used R6 throttle tubes so instead of 1/4 turn wide open throttle its 1/5 or 1/6 turn. I modified mine to the throttle would open up slower initially (like a G2 throttle tamer) but then open to wide open throttle sooner. I love it...

    Tire recommendations for local riding?

    Honestly you can't go wrong with some Pilot Road 4's. I bought then when they first came out and they are honestly great. I have at least 3,500 - 5,000 miles on them and they barely have any wear. They also grip way better than the stock tires in snow (yes, I rode through a little bit of snow...
