I put it up on ebay for anyone that might be interested. $110 clutch kit

I traded in for a 2014 Ninja 1000, i will miss the 8 but it was time to let her go at 27000 miles before i lost too much more trade in value. And Kawi had $2000 in instant rebates that was ending in a few days. I took off the new ASV C5 levers and will put them on Ebay soon.

Well i just got my bike back from the shop. All 8 of my Exhaust valves were out of spec and needed adjustments. I told them i would change the oil and clean my filter. But they Also checked the steering stem bearings, replaced plugs changed the coolant and did the other small greasing and...

I went for a ride Saturday, and I noticed that my clutch was grabbing even when I had it pulled in fully. I also noticed that it wouldn't stick when cold but after it had warmed up the clutch would start grabbing. Sunday I took it out and the same problems persisted. The bike was sitting in the...

the rear axle bolt seized after loosening it a little. then when it turned the axle scraped out the "Puller, Chain 2 5VY-25389-01-00" (the flat bracket that is supposed to stop the axle from turning when you loosen the bolt). it ripped it to shreds. now i can't get the rear wheel off and it is...

20,632 miles.... time for a new chain and sprockets. I was hoping i could make it beyond 30,000 miles before i had to do this but i have some stiff links now :( Stealership wants $200 for labor alone. i got them to price closer but not mach yamahapartshouse.com on the parts. $229 for those...

I need a copy of the install for storyteller if anyone has it. it is no longer available from the Contour web site.

This was in the manual that came with my Penske shock, i thought it was pretty helpful. Street Tuning: Symptoms and Suggestions ⦁ The simplest way to adjust in your suspension is to find a loop approximately 5 miles long where you can create multiple situations, sweeping corners, tight or...

looks like they are now available on ebay! Coffman Shorty Exhaust Yamaha FZ8 2011 13 | eBay

Got my new shock today! Installation was actually pretty easy. a bit tight for the wrenches but having an air ratchet really helped with that. If you use the center stand use a 2X6 to raise/lower the wheel when installing/removing the bolts in the relays so things line up. Now i need to read...

I have been trying to find something that would work for a long time but i ended up buying a new visor for my Shark Vision-R. the visor cost me about $65 and i felt like it was a rip off but it was buy that or a new helmet. So after a week i was leaving the garage and i wasnt paying attention to...

As the Title says i'm looking for a solid stand to change the rear shock when i need to service etc. I do not have a garage with rafters so that is out of the question. i want a lift that is small but stable and not too pricey.

Thinking about getting one. the stock shock feels spongy to me and with the preload set to 7 it still doesnt feel quite right. i weigh 180lbs. Anyone have any opinions on this shock?

I recently got my shock linkage repaired under warranty at the dealership. For the past couple of week i noticed that when i went to get gas that there was a strong vacuum when taking off the gas cap. i kept shrugging it off until today when i thought maybe that is doing some damage to my fuel...

Anyone know what years the FZ1 rear shocks are compatible with the FZ8?

It is bent and about to snap. I noticed a squeak the other day and after i got back it today from a long ride it was a lot worse. I thought maybe the shock bushing was sqeaking so i took a look. and i noticed 2 cracks in the metal. i had noticed the bends before but thought it was just made...

finally got around to adding some LED's from autozone since my blinkers don't have running lights. BTW these are the 2013 FZ8 shocks on my 2012 :) the back stripe looks orange but it is red. it's reflective but the front one is not. i will be replacing those soon.

I am getting ready to get some new tires and i usually take off the wheels and take them to the stealership to have them change and balance at $45 a tire. How many of you guys change and balance your tires? any suggestions? I plan on buying a balancer, tire irons, rim protectors, bead breaker...

Well i finally got the new airbox to replace my modded one in yesterday. I took a ride out to Bear Mountain today and rode for hours. I am still running the Jumbo 2013 map, Yoshi R77, K&N Filter. This is my opinion and i haven't done any science. But i know my bike extremely well. The low end...

Could someone connect their JBPro to a laptop running Top tune and start their MC and tell me if you see "Throttle%" change in real time? MY JB Pro seems to be working i can feel a difference in maps, i see RPM's but i don't see Throttle% and Dynojet said i should see it. but i am skeptical.
