    Racket from clutch/trans at idle?

    Yeah it's a bike thing. It drove me crazy for a month or two until I got used to it.

    Dumb Design: FZ Headlight Cover Buzz

    Hi Evan, just get some weather resistant foam from a local hardware store and put it under the cowl. Should take 10 mins and $5. Yeah it might feel "cheap" but the FZ8 was made with budgets in mind. I don't have any other parts that buzz besides that cowl. Even my new kawi has a buzzy ignition...

    As stated I'm sticking to domestic shipping Jubby, the costs for international can reach crazy high prices. In regards to your other question it's probably a weight savings of about 5 lbs / 2kgs.

    This amazing pipe runs close to $600 new, get one for half the cost! You can even debadge it and I won't make any snide remarks about it!

    Selling the 8 and parting off the akra. Sadly it's been tipped over and has a scuff but is purely cosmetic. There's also markings from the previous owner on where they mounted it (I believe they didn't remove the exhaust bracket and mounted it there). All hardware is included along with baffle...

    Anyone see the new Suzuki FZ8? LOL

    Apparently they're making both a naked 750 and 1000. The 750 had a huge bump in weight but also tuned for street use. Nice to see more attention to the naked market finally (stateside). I still prefer my fz8 over a suzuki version :)

    New Owner Today

    I noticed it on the interstate straight away. Around town I don't notice wind at all with or without the screen. I tried the puig screen but the bars felt shakier than I was comfortable riding with. Only did it at maybe 65+ mph. I can't add anything about the givi but I can't imagine it's much...

    New Owner Today

    Who buys a naked bike and then buys a windshield :P Simply put you won't find a "functional" one besides one that might move air from your chest to your shoulders. It will effect your steering at higher speeds as well.

    Bike just died on me...

    That's a seriously costly replacement, I would get a second opinion from another shop.

    flip plate

    Trying to teach people to use the resources on the internet! I searched for "flip plate penalties Texas" and found this: (TLDR: Illegal- 2nd degree misdemeanor (aka arrested for possession alone) but elevated to the next degree if used in a traffic violation or crime.) AKA don't get one!

    Top Box Woes

    No plate required for the yamaha setup. The website automatically converts for you via paypal. Fazer_8 is correct about a slight rattle with the yamaha case however its just the latching system. It was annoying at first but it doesn't bother me anymore. The fit and finish on the box has held up...

    Top Box Woes

    Darren - I'm in the US as well and tried getting a dealer to find it somehow but none were able. Ended up ordering from https://www.yamahagenuineparts.com for the rear rack (39PF48D00000) and boats.net for the top box but I checked and they don't seem to sell it anymore (boats.net). There's a...

    Help!!! Couple Questions-Yosh R77D

    Tip won't discolor aside from unburned gas coming out of the pipe in the form of a light-dark dust depending on your mixture. SS cans are polished, the matte look is usually titanium. I've only seen leo vince do a satin brushed look on cans. If I were you I would wait for a nice used pipe to hit...

    How-To: Replace Rear Brake Pedal?

    I bent my rear brake pedal about 2 months ago and replaced it. The springs were very annoying but breaking the peg loose was a pita. Took like 20-30 mins.

    Chain life

    15k miles and while its not in mint condition it still drives fine. Will probably replace at 20k just because it feels like the right time.
