    Rear Sprocket

    Ok. Thanks for the advice. I decided to go down one in the front and up two in the rear. Using Driven steel sprockets in a 520 pitch. Also bought a new chain. Hoping the mod gives me the low end grunt I'm looking for. Thanks again

    Quick Question on Engine Noise

    Just bought my FZ8 a few weeks ago, so I am new to the bike. I've been following the guidelines from the manual in terms of breaking in the engine, but the few times I have gotten into the revs a bit, I've noticed the engine (or something) is making almost a popping or ticking sound when I let...

    Proud new owner!

    Hey everyone. I just purchased a 2012 FZ8 last week. I seriously couldn't be happier with the bike! For me anyways, this is the perfect combination of performance and comfort. I have a smile on my face everytime I start it up :) Just put in an order for the Motodynamics smoked rear LED turn...
