Anybody know of somebody looking for an FZ8 in Michigan? Looking to sell my 2013 with 4200 miles. I bought it last year brand new as a leftover model from dealership. Mods: Coffman Exhaust (blue tip) Fender Eliminator Motodynamic taillight smoked Ram Phone Mount R6 Throttle Swap Asking $6900

Does anybody know if Kaoko makes a throttle lock for the FZ8? I bought the one that's for the FZ1, FZ6, and FZ09 thinking it should work for the 8 but it did not so i had to return it. What a bummer.:mad:

It does match up with the stock front turn signals... I heard when you get aftermarket that you may need to buy some sort of regulator if they don't match up. I'm going to have to do some research before i replace those :p

Yeah it's not bad to install, a little more complicated than i thought it was going to be but all in all pretty easy. Let me know if you have issues when installing yours.

I'm located just north of Grand Rapids.. Anybody in this area?

Does anybody know if the Kaoko throttle lock still works with the R6 Tube?

I actually felt the power drop a bit when putting this exhaust on but as soon as i took out the baffle, everything opened right up and i couldn't tell a difference from the stock.

Cool thanks for the input guys.. I've been starting it every couple weeks to run the oil through it so that shouldn't be a problem.

Has anybody found a phone mount that they absolutely love? I'd like to find one that's pretty low profile so i can use it for GPS.

Hey guys, This is my first winter with my bike and therefore will be my first spring coming up. I changed my oil about 300 miles before i parked it in the garage. What do you recommend I do to get it ready to ride in the spring.. Should i change the oil again since it's been sitting all...

Hey guys, I would like to find a way to carry a little more stuff with me without carrying a backpack. I also don't like the looks of the saddle bags. Does anybody know if there is any sort of container/bag that replaces the back seat and clamps in? If not are there any recommendations for me on...

Cool guys thanks for the tip. How often do you change it?

I just bought my 2013 FZ8 last Friday and am in need of the break in oil change. What kind/weight of oil do you guys recommend? Also, K&N oil filter? Any other brands? I'm at 700 miles and don't want to ride anymore until i get it changed and my manual shows different weights for different...
