    Bought another bike, no love lost for the FZ8 though!

    It was finally time to spend some money to start playing with some supermoto. Got a 09 Kawasaki KLX250sf in black. Super excited for this, but needed to let all my FZ8 brethren know that there will be no decrease in the love of the 8. The fun time on the 8 will barely decrease, and this just...

    Strange sound from the front end...

    I've gone over the bike and checked everything out and it seems sound to the best of my knowledge. However when im riding I can hear a faint noise that I can only describe as similar to the instrument that kids make in 3rd grade that is the paper towel tube filled with rice and stuck with...

    Oh boy am I happy to be riding again. Thanks old man winter for staying late this year.... Anyways, I meant to ride earlier because it was almost 50F this afternoon. Ended up tinkering with the bike for a few hours and took a 40 mile spin in the dark at a nice brisk 38F. Got a little chilly with...

    As far as I know, GIVI makes an "engine guard", as does yamaha for the FZ8. If anyone has any experience or pictures of theirs with any brand of cage or guard, I would love to see it. I already found a few pics of one of the forums members with a GIVI. Looked pretty solid. Just seeing what all...

    Thinking about a new icon Helm

    I'm a big fan of ICON Helmets and other gear. Looking into getting a new headpiece. Have not yet decided on either the Airframe or the Variant. Depending on which style I'm really feeling. I like both looks. Better question is to get all black with black or mirror lens... OR all white with...

    Motodynamic LED Tail light will be here today!

    Almost forgot about it for a few days, just checked the usps tracker and its in route for delivery! Over the weekend I made my own custom stainless LP bracket to mount into the existing holes from the rear fender. The bike is just sitting in the garage with the whole back end disassembled...

    Is it necessary to cut wires to change turn signals?

    As the title states. I know some bikes have quick disconnects. Does the FZ8 as well? Also I am referring to the front turn signals.

    New to forum, not to riding :D

I'm 19 from Buffalo NY, have been riding street for 3 years and dirt for 11. had an 09' blue FZ6R and about a year ago traded it for my lovely 2012 FZ8 in matte gray/black. Probably pulling it out this weekend to...
