What's good fellow FZ8 owners!? I'm right at the mark for a valve clearance check and was wondering if anyone in the NY/NJ/CT area could recommend a Yamaha dealer or a shop that would do a professional job. I bought mine at a dealer in Long Island, NY and they were fairly reluctant to do the job...

61 ft lb for the front and 58 ft lb for the rear sprocket nuts.

No longer needed. Please delete this post. Thanks.

In need a fuel tank off a '12-'13 FZ8. Preferably with no dents. Scratches I can deal with. Lmk if you have one for sale. Thanks.

Sup peeps! So time has come to change the chain and sprockets on my 8. Did a search and didn't find the answer to my question. I remember reading somewhere that our front sprocket nut "should" be replaced with a brand new one every time we change the front sprocket. Wondering if this is a...

Anyone else have condensation problems in their gauge cluster? I noticed mine with some very minimal condensation this summer when I would wash my bike. No problems what so ever though back then. Now it's winter and the condensation in the gauges(Speedo & Tach) is pretty bad. I can read the...

I have one also. No problems fitting the oem signals to it. Only problem was the fitment of my license plate but that will depend on your state. I can say for sure, the NY state number plates don't fit on 'em. I had to use a metal bracket off the fugly oem tail. Kinda makes the plate light...

Very good write up. I had the pleasure of riding next to 860Rider at the group ride and I have to say, the Coffman sounds sweet. Only thing that bothered me with the Coffman prior to speaking with 860Rider was the questionable issue with power loss. However, that issue seems for the most part to...

I used to be a MTB fanatic before I got injured so I understand your yearning to use the 8 as a transport for the bicycle. I dunno if your looking to do something custom but there's a company called 2x2 Cycles that sells racks for motorcycles. Bit pricey but it might be a better idea than towing...

Bought mine June of last year and currently at just a tad over 9300 miles. All fun miles. :)

Cool, thanks for the initial impressions. I was split between getting the PP3 or the PR4's. Think I'm gonna give the PP3's a try. :tup:

Ditto. You can buy direct from TST on eBay or on their website. 2 sec install and if you decide to get front led signals(if you don't have already) you won't have to worry about it blinking at a different rate like BigD has said. :cool: LED Flasher Relay Slows Signal Rate Yamaha FZ6R FZ1 FZ8...

Dang, I wish my insurance was that cheap. I'm guessing with my age and limited riding experience, I'm considered a high risk. I don't even wanna imagine how much it would be if I owned a supersport. Just another reason why I love my FZ8 but cheaper insurance wouldn't hurt. :P

Dang! That is a long ass screw. Thankfully it's in the middle of the tread so your patch should hold up. :)

Man, some of you guys got some cheap rates. Second season riding, 30yrs old, no tickets or violations of any kind and I'm paying a tad over a grand for full coverage(Progressive) here in NY.

Looks great. :)

Awesome. Looks like it was one helluva trip. Thanks for sharing! :)

Interested in getting this sometime in the future but I can't seem to find any good sound clips of it on youtube. What I did find was few and all in a garage. Does anyone here have the Graves Full System? If so, do you have a decent video of it(Not in a garage. Revs outside and maybe a flyby)...

Any fitment issues with the BMC? I have heard K&N's don't fit flush.

I know this thread is from June of last year but by any chance you still have the Evotech exhaust hanger?
