I've been drooling over a Shoei x-12 forever now, and they are 20% till midnight Memorial Day! Problem is, and always has been, I can't decide on which color goes best with the 8! I'm ordering a gold visor as well to match the forks ;) The normal black looks like it matches best. The...

I'm selling my basically brand new pair of size 14 Icon Field Armor Boots for $90. Selling from Cedar Rapids, Iowa. I bought them last year and have only ridden in them for 2 small trips totally about 20miles. No marks/scuffs/dirt/wear/tear/smells/anything. They still have inspection stickers...

Who has instagram?! I was just browsing all the different people's fz8 pics and started wondering if some of them are forum members. I made a post about this early last year but my search isn't working so here's a fresh one lol. Look me up! I take lots of fz8 pics and such. During winter...

I do all my forum talk from my IPhone, and tapatalk has been a dream come true... And now it's dead! Earlier I was checking the forums every 30sec like I always do, and decided to check out how much premium was. Clicked on the link and it redirected me to the web page and I logged in. Decided...

I've been on the forum for a while now, but have never seen anyone mention Iowa. Possibly from embarrassment?! Lol. Anyhoo, I know I've seen someone in Iowa City (just 20min south, I'm in Cedar Rapids) on an 8, but just checking if anyone is smart enough to be on the forums as well :) There...

Anyone browsing on a mobile phone should check out the Tapatalk app. I've always used my iPhone to check the forums and ignore the prompts to check out tapatalk, but after having it a couple of weeks now, I'm 160% satisfied! It makes posting a breeze and has a tab for all the recent posts and...

Probably a n00b question but here we go. Traditionally when I start my bike, I turn the key, wait for my whole little start up jig run, grab my clutch (always park in first ;))click my engine switch on, start my engine. Sometimes while the start up jig is going, I'll click my engine switch on...

Just got my 8000 service the other day and i'm trying to burn up as many miles as I can before snow hits (hoping for January lol). Decided I'm gonna wake up early tomorrow and head up to grab some lunch and zip around for an hour or so before I head back. Coming from Cedar Rapids, Iowa its 3...

So I've only been riding 2 years now(with about 20k mi under my belt on different bikes) but one thing I've always done is engine braking. I do most of my driving zipping around town, so staying in gear while slowing down has always made sense to avoid hairy situations. They didn't touch on...

So roughly 99.99999% of the time that I'm lurking these forums, I'm on my iPhone. I've noticed you can't just directly post pics from a phone without hostin them on a photo site. Lameeee. So I got the idea last night to make an Instagram account to document my summer with my new bike :). I...

I have done the unthinkable. Last night (technically this morning lol) at 1am the weather was steady around 52 degrees and any chance of rain was gone for a while so I decided to go for a zip around town. I pull the bike out and I throw the kickstand down to go to my car to hit the garage...

I just got my pair of Icon Field Armor Boots and...... Yikes. I threw them on and jumped on the FZ8 and it was troublesome. Getting the giant toe under the shifter was hard enough, and then I'd find my foot holding up the shifter after I had changed gears. Crazy. One thing I should point...

How soon did you switch to synthetic oil? I'm getting ready to be getting my 600mi service, and I've come to the conclusion synthetic oil is the way to go. How soon though? Some friends I know say to not do it right away, as it's too slippery for your new engine and can get in the seals or...

Hi guys, my names Nick and I just got my brand new 2011 FZ8 yesterday!!!! I'm a 25 year old pizzeria manager from Cedar Rapids Iowa, home of the crazy floods a couple of years ago ;p. I've been riding for a couple of years now, mainly a 1980 Suzuki GS 450 L, and my dads 2003 Honda VTX 1800,but...
