Hey guys, I'm not seeing quite what I'm looking for in bars as I browse so I'm wondering; those of you who have aftermarket bars what do you have? How do they compare to stock?

Ya it does, dont quote me but the fault may have to occur two or more times before stored.. These bikes do not require a computer to diagnose, just a service manual so to have your dealer read them should not take more than 10 mins. Start by depressing the "select" and "reset" buttons on the...

Spoke with a Two Bro's rep, Akrapovic rep and Graves rep...not happenin.

After searching the threads I have found no useful info on whether or not there is or will be a manufacturer releasing a dual exhaust for my 2011 FZ8... has anyone heard? Thanks

This is my first bike. Yep, I learned to ride on my FZ8... Its not my first street bike, first super sport style bike....my FIRST bike that does not have pedals. Everyone that I know told me I would die I now have 5K miles, never dropped it, crashed it or forgot to put the kickstand down. In...

There are no external add on's available for the Juice Box Pro. However, there is downloadable software from TBR that allows you to create your own maps and tune your JBP. You can cycle through maps on the fly. "Riders can literally select between a TBR Power Map, custom-built maps, or even fine...

Piss on Battleaxe tires. I have 3600 on mine and im to the wear bars... I have read a lot of good about Pilot Road 2's, but this is my first bike. So i dont know what the top 5 tires might be.. could someone a little more knowledgeable make a poll with a few really good tires...maybe from...

Progressive was best for me...saved 2 whole dollars by bundling the pick up and bike ha. But im 22 and its less than 900 per year with 3 speeding tickets. (full coverage) Ive heard progressive are some real a$$ holes when it comes to fixing a crashed bike though... couldnt tell ya.

Well after learning that JBP and PCV maps are compatible, and the autotune for PCV is kind of "universal" if im not mistaken, I am going to contact TBR and find out if there is an auto tune equivalent available or if there will be one in the future. Unless someone knows? Ill tell you what I find...

So the FZ1 PCV part number is the same unit as the FZ8 even though their part numbers differ significantly. (According to Dynojet) Other than the base map. Now I am in a predicement... Juicebox Pro which is compatable with PCV maps and can be manually tuned for Low , Mid and High range...with NO...

Ive been trying to price out a PCV with and without Auto tune. Went to power commander website, not dynojet (same people tho) and its not showing the auto tune available for my model year ('11 FZ8) I am also trying to get my PCV through yamaha and im only able to find one for a FZ1 in their...

Sorry, its kinda late here and been a looooooong day.. anyone got one they can post a pic of or a reputable distributor?

Im kinda paranoid I guess....but I feel it would be a wise investment in a locking oil cap or something similar to a tamper proof torx cap... something that would implement severe difficulty for anyone trying to sabotage my bike. Thanks ahead of time. ;)

Octane is determined by compression ratio. I run 88 octane (mid grade) from Chevron, no pinging, runs smooth and good mileage. At Maverick I can run 85, 87 or 91 and my bike still runs like shit. I think it depends on the quality of the fuel as well as octane. 91 oct from Maverick is equivalent...

I keep a rag handy, half the f*@$ers drip on my tank anyway, never fails.
