I've been trying to sell it for months already. I understand that it sits in a sweet spot between 2 possibly better bikes, but I thought I'd still have better luck than this...

Hey Everyone, Looking for some advice. Im trying to sell my 2011 FZ8, and I cant seem to get any interest... Im asking 4500, which is under book for a bike with such low miles, I'd even take 4k for it, and have alluded to making deals in all of my postings. I STILL cant seem to get any bites...

Hey Everyone, As much as I hate to do it, I have to sell my FZ8. It is a 2011 model with just a hair over 15k miles. It is mostly stock aside from the Satan666 rear end conversion, a Givi screen and a Coffman's pipe. Also, it is +2 in the rear sprocket. The bike is located in the Black Hills...

You looking for an upper? Only one I could find is a 2010 model from Lituania unfortunately. 2010 Yamaha FZ 8 Upper Triple Clamp Tree | eBay

Figured it out. The right side set screw on the rear of the swing arm loosened up. The chain was tight enough, but the wheel was out of alignment ever so slightly. Chain was rattling against plastic bits up front. Straightened the wheel and the noise is gone. Thanks!

The bike just rolled over 9k. Ive put 2000 on since I got it from the dealer. Ill have to check out the front sprocket to see if it is damaged at all. I did get a loud click out of it when I tried to clutch up a wheelie the other day.On my dirtbikes that always meant the chain skipped a tooth...

Hey guys, Got my fuel issue sorted out, so thanks! I have another question for you. Recently, my bike started making a noise on deceleration. Best way I can describe it would be a "ka-shunk ka-shunk kashunk" sound, maybe 3x per second when decelerating. It only happens when the bike is in...

Didn't know about the plugs. I will definitely replace them!

... I hadn't even considered my weight... I am a bigger guy at 270. It just skipped my mind altogether.

Howdy everyone. This December I picked up a used 2011 FZ8 with 7800 miles on the clock. Everything on the bike is stock as far as engine components and exhaust goes. I track all of my vehicles fuel mileages religiously using Fuelly. According to Fuelly, almost all FZ8's get 41-45 average MPG...

I am interested in doing this as well. How is the new sprocket combo treating you?

Check out the Satan666 R1 rear shock adapter. You're going to notice they installed a pogo stick in the rear of the bike from the factory. I just put an R1 shock in my bike a couple of weeks ago. Best $160 total you can spend on this machine. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
