    Motodynamic integrated tail light - LED failures

    My motodynamic tail light worked fine when I parked my bike in 2014. Got it out of storage the beginning of June and got her running again and the left side ambers aren't lighting up towards the center of the light. Guess I'll need to take it apart and check the internals

    resurrecting the bike after 2 years

    As the title suggests, I'm getting my bike out of storage and I plan to put her back on the streets. Aside from fresh fluids and tires as well as a new battery, is there anything I should be looking for to get her going again? A while back I jumped it off and it would idle, butt it died as soon...

    Tyre pressure loss - what's normal ?

    Some car dealerships offer nitrogen as some newer cars actually come with nitrogen now... . Costco offers it too if you have a location near you. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

    New respect for this 2012 FZ8!

    Lol... Some states have a version of them... If you start early. I got my bike license in Tennessee at 14.... They allow up to a 250 at 14, a 500 at 15, and the it's whatever after that...I kinda wish there were limitations just based on riding experience... But at bare minimum a license...

    First service!!!

    The dealer I bought my bike from quoted me over 400 for the initial.... I laughed and did it myself as I have on every bother bike I've owned. I just didn't have all the stuff handy this time around... Even going out to buy tools and such I came out well under their quote. Sent from my...

    Am I missing something?

    Where do you live? What's the temp been lately? My 2011 sits in the mid 180s when moving and regularly hovers in the 210 to 220 range in traffic. I can't verify, but I have been told there's a safety system that will cut the engine off if it reaches unsafe levels. Is your coolant low? Check...

    New respect for this 2012 FZ8!

    I REALLY wish that a bike license was a requirement for buying a bike... Better yet, a graded license like most European countries do... Glad you're okay, and you're able to learn from the experience Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

    +1 to another springfield owner... I've got an Xd40 sub Oh and if you need ammo, there's a guy in Midlothian that posted an ad on TX gun trader.. 500 rounds of 9mm for $180... 36cents per round isn't too bad these days Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

    Wind noise

    More than likely the hand simply diffuses air buffeting at the bottom edge of the helmet. I've worn ear plugs when I ride since the early 90s and I've always just used hearos or gun range quality foam disposable plugs. Landscaping ones aren't bad either and used to be cheap. I developed...
