    purchase advice

    That should not be a problem. My Fazer now has over 110,000 km (about 69,000 mls) on the clock. Oil change every 7000 mls, adjust valves every 25,000 mls and have fun.

    Interesting day

    Yes, it's a little bit crazy. Most of the new bikes have preload adjust on both sides, adjustable compression damping on one side and rebound on the other. My Fazer8 has too - after installing Öhlins cartridges :)

    Interesting day

    Yes, adjustable is only the right side (spring preload on top, damping rebound below).

    Rear Seat Storage Compartment stuck half way shut

    Unmount the left cover under driver seat. Near the lock you'll find the lock cable. Try to release the seat by pulling the cable. Axel

    Hello from a new member and a quick question !!

    You can also use FZ1 parts. Sometimes they are cheaper.

    Well, this sucks... (hit a serious pothole on the BQE in Queens, N.Y.)

    Right. But changing the tyre type from touring to sport or other way around changes the handling very much more than this half of an inch ... Axel

    Just change the wheel. Axle and nut, brake disc, hub/sprocket are fitting. And of course the 180/55 tyre can be used.

    The 6" rear wheel fit's perfect. We have some FZ8s with this and 190/50 tyre running in our german forum. Axel
