I downloaded an app called speedometer and tested app in my car to compare and it was 100% accurate to my car and another car. I tested it tonight on my FZ8 and confirmed that it was 5 to 6 mph higher compared...

    New appreciate for my FZ8 after test riding the FZ09

    I attended a Yamaha test ride today and was excited to be able to finally test a FZ09 and a Star Bolt. The Bolt was quite awesome and surprised me how easy it was to ride and how well it handled. The FZ09 also surprised me. I was able to test both for about 30 min or so. I loved the...

    Removing velocity stacks. What hex size and length?

    I've searched and read 5 and 4 mm for the bolts that hold the velocity stacks. Can someone clarify what size hex and what length hex wrench I need to buy? Thank you.

    I think I found my next bike.

    I've been looking for my next bike which I'll probably be getting next year and highly considering the BMW S1000R. I wanted to take a step up in performance and safety and saw this in a 2014 naked bike shoot out and it was very well liked. I love that I won't have to invest in suspension as...

    Headlight bulb comparison tested. Stock bulb, HID bi-xenon, LED high/low : PICS

    Test update: May 18th. I was able to get out and test the LED's in a fairly dark area and I've come to the conclusion that with this specific kit the design of the bulb causes really bad light distribution. It's not focused well at all and even though the light is very bright (brighter than...

    Anyone try flash-tune?

    Very little info out there for the fz8 tune and just wondering if anyone has tried their ecu flash? Pricing is good and they said expect 5-7hp increase. Either way probably going to try them since only $200. Other sites for other bikes have had some good success. Standard Flashing...

    2013 stock seat better than 2011-12?

    2013 stock seat looks to be better upholstery and maybe more comfortable. Anyone that owns a 2013 give any feedback on the stock seat? Reason I ask is that my stock 2012 sucks. After 30 minutes my bottom loses feeling. Yeah I know Shad is an option but I'm curious about the stock 2013 seat.

    FZ1-N naked conversion on FZ8 possible?

    I like the look of the fz1 naked better than our fz8 because it sits lower and more flush and over all looks better. Does anyone think it's possible to do a conversion on an fz8? I found the whole kit here. Euro Style FZ-1 Headlight Conversion Kit With Radiator Guards from Part Shark Catalog

    Bright led turn signal test with Motodynamic tail VIDEO

    Now before you ask why I installed turn signals with the Motodynamic tail light, I have two reasons. First IMO it's safer to have as much visibility when changing lanes as possible. And I actually like the look of the bike with turn signals. Oh, and it's the law here to keep them on the bike...

    Need advise. Stay with 2012 fz8 or go 2013?

    I'm about ready to start moding my bike. I currently have a 2012 and want to upgrade the suspension because for my weight it seems to soft but cost is looking to be over $1000 for front and rear. Would it not be a bad idea to get a 2013 with the adjustable suspension assuming my dealer can get...
