    FS: 2011-2013 Akrapovic slip on

    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...

    Puig Fly Screen - $90 shipped

    -SOLD- Puig Fly Screen - $90 shipped -Sold- Thought I would try a fly screen but I just don't like it. Might look better on the 2011 glossy black models instead of my matte 2012. It's only been used for about a week and comes with the mounting hardware (2 bolts and spacers). Took a pic but it...

    Got a little tired of the FZ8

    I've had my 2012 FZ8 for almost 2 years now and I have to say I'm a bit tired of its easy going wind battering lifestyle so I thought I'd sell it and move on. And then I thought I'd miss it too much for tandem and commuting so I kept it and just bought another bike! I've been mulling this idea...

    Taking a long trip - any advice?

    Hey FZ8'ers. Taking a 600 mile trek into Kentucky. Meeting some friends up there for a weekend, so being able to ride there is just a bonus. I've never done this many miles in a day before, so I'm looking for some critiquing as far as my route and plan goes. Route: http://goo.gl/maps/UnLb1 This...

    Top gear television show

    I am declaring war against these fools! They recently ran an episode of a corvette z06 police car vs a triumph speed triple in a "getaway race". After the Z06 overtook the bike at the last straightaway (because s3's are drag machines...) and won, they made the statement that no motorcycle can...

    Jumpy RPM's at 3-4k range

    'kay so in both first and second gear around 25-30 mph the bike starts jumping and bucking pretty hard. It's very consistent. It happens as soon as 3100 rpm and high as 3600 rpm. Very annoying while cornering, almost unsafe. I swear I got the most problematic FZ8 ever. Running 87 octane per...

    Motor feels clunky in low rpm

    Hi all, still breaking in the Fazer, but I've noticed some very annoying things in the last week. Anytime below 3k rpm the motor gets really "clunky". Even at idle the motor sounds clunky. I can hear it and feel it in the bars. Every inline 4 motor I've had ran smooth after warming up. Total...

    Handlebar clamps

    So I recently bought a 2012 FZ8, and the handlebar seemed to vibrate *a lot*. I took my allen wrench out and the bottom 2 bolts were crazy loose. I was looking the clamps over and they both have an arrow on them, one was pointing forward and one backwards. That didn't seem right at all so I have...
