    Hi From Brisbane

    I made the mistake of buying a used Jeep (Diesel Cherokee KJ), and kept me busy while I fixed all the issues. I still have my 2011 FZ8, but only has 17000Km. I still love the bike, but I don't get enough time to ride it. This bike is extremely reliable and the power delivery is very smooth...

    New respect for this 2012 FZ8!

    Glad you are OK stratagem. The FZ8 may not have great top end speed, but it will get up there very quickly, so just be carefull. The FZ8 will forgive some mistakes, but as a beginner you really must take it easy. I came off a number of times while learning, and if you haven't you either don't...

    Australian Power Commander Map for FZ8

    Hi, I have an Australian 2011 FZ8 and imported a Power Commander V (from the US). I was wondering which map should be used, US or Europe. The Europe maps seems a lot richer compared to the US maps, so I am currently using the European maps, just to be safe. Anyone know what DynoJet maps...

    PCV Map AirBox Mod

    Anyone got a PCV map tuned for Slip on exhaust (Graves carbon), K&N air and AirBox mod ? Can 't seem to find much for Airbox mod, but I'm sure there must be a few people here running Airbox mod and AutoTune. Currently using the richest map from DynoJet (Akra race slip on, European model)...

    Air box mod question

    I did the airbox mod today. I did it by drilling lots of very large holes so that I can reverse it if required. I had to use a much richer map for the pcv. In third gear at 8000rpm the front started lifting so it feels stronger than before. Low end seems to be fine and the bike pulls strong from...

    How fast have you gone?

    Got caught doing 135Km/h in Brisbane a few weeks. Paid the fine and now on Good behaviour (cannot make any stupid mistakes for 1 year). Cop told me I was lucky I was under 140, as I would have lost my license. I was trying to break in the engine, trying to go above 8000rpm, as I hardly go above...

    Can U ship to Australia (Brisbane) and how much would it be ? How many KM has it done ?

    Loss of power shortly after break in.

    Adding the K&N filter as well as slip on definetely dropped low end power Adding a PCV improved this somewhat. Take it in for a Dyno run and see what numbers you get.

    What did you do to your FZ8 today?

    Had the 1000km service done. Only cost 100 aus dollars, as I did the oil and filter myself. Also converted to single seater. PCV was fitted and noticed more popping, and I assume it is because the AF ratio is richer.

    What did you do to your FZ8 today?

    Finally received the Power Commander V, and Installed in approx an hour and it's a piece of cake. Bike runs a little smoother and no more flat spot between 5K and 6K rpm. Also seems to go up in revs quicker and less vibration. I may take it for a Dyno run to make sure it's not too lean anywhere...

    Insurance question

    Here is Australia I would be paying almost $900/year. I am 37 and not had any accident for the past 10 years. As I bought the bike brand new, Yamaha provided the first 12 month insurance. I was advised the bike was a class 2 (same class as FZ1). We really get ripped off here in Australia.

    Buzzing fix

    Unfortunately the whole is too small to try and get silicone easily in there. I actually broke 2 bottle ends trying to do this, and I can't make the whole any bigger unless I drill into it. My next step is to get extra heavy duty handle ends, but the heavy ones aren't cheap. Hopefully after a...

    Loss of low end after slip on and K&N

    A few weeks ago a installed a Graves slip on and K&N Air filter. I've noticed there has been a slight drop in low end, and I assume this is normal as my old GSXR600 also did this. It was much more noticable power drop on the gixxer. I am getting my new PCV later this week and hoping it will...
