    Who's Still Riding?

    Rode earlier this month to/from work. 26F at night with head wind was below my comfort level. I still have an extra layer to add into my winter riding suit. I'll try again next time it's in the 20s.

    What octane fuel for FZ8

    My dealer said the same thing. I believe it's a test to see if you're willing to pay extra for other services they might offer. I didn't say anything when they told me to put the best gas in, I was laughing inside. I'm sticking with 87 grade gas. They also wanted $800 for Y.E.S.

Look up 'motorcycle gymkhana' on youtube, hopefully you can be confident in making maneuvers somewhat like those before you upgrade. I'm 31 and the FZ8 is my first bike. Dropped it on the left and right side at...

    Red dots on bolts and other parts

    Is this normal on all new FZ8s? There are red dots on most of the screws, bolts, and radiator cap either in the center or on the side. Torque markings, final driver mark? I don't see it on any photos of FZ8s online. It's something that cleans off by the dealer or myself?
