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...

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...

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)...

Found this in an old thread on here and was wondering if anyone has this installed on their bike? Just wanna see how it looks on the FZ8. Also, if anyone does have it, was the install straight forward? Thanks. Race Armor Fz8 2011 - 11-FZ08-RA - Yamaha - Race Armor - for Yamaha - Lightweight...

So, my bike has been in storage for a quite a bit and not awhile ago I've noticed that I had some surface rust on my chain. Finally got around to cleaning it with some WD-40 today. Wiped off the WD-40 as best as I can and relubed the chain using proper chain lube. While browsing through...

So today I got mine bar end mirrors and everything was going smooth till I ran into a problem with the right side oem mirror. The bolt somehow ceased and I could not for the life of me get it off. Long story short after trying hammering it with a socket wrench on there it eventually broke off...

So I noticed the other day that my chain has rusted... Looks like just surface rust but not quite sure. I'm guessing I didn't lube it properly after washing and/or riding in wet conditions. My question is, what is the best way to remedy this? Some sort of wire brush with a chain cleaner? I...

This has been going viral today and it's certainly bone chilling to watch... It won't shed a good image for bikers unfortunately, especially in NYC. From what I can tell, the biker at the beginning of the vid was in front of the SUV and all a sudden slowed down and got clipped from the rear by...

I've always liked mohawks on helmets ever since I seen it on a rider before I even started riding. I've seen it on both sport bike riders and harley riders alike around my area. I think it puts an interesting spin on just plain helmets. I got a neon green one on my black/green HJC helmet(started...

Hey fellas, started motovlogging today but I'm in need of a good video editing software. I need something that's easy to use and have a decent amount of features like special effects. I have no clue what to look for or which programs are good. I'm willing to pay for a good software but free ones...

So ended up buying some cheap disposable earplugs to try it. Just wondering how many of y'all prefer to ride with them. I gotta admit with my noisy helmet it is quite pleasant. I think it is more necessary for when your on the highways though. I already stalled the bike with it in my ear riding...

Looking to puchase a cam to record my riding and was wondering what y'all use for those of you who use action cams. I'm down to 3 choices, 1) Contour ROAM2 Action HD 2) Sony Action Cam HDRAS10/B 3) Drift Innovation Ghost HD Go Pro isn't an option as I hate the design of it for having it on...

Didn't know which section this would go into. Anyway, saw this while browsing through eBay and was wondering if these things really work. Anyone try these? Or are these just a gimmick to rip you off? Would be cool 'cause I get stuck at lights by myself quite frequently. :confused: Green Light...

Looking to get a halogen bulb that is brighter than the stock one. Which is the brightest one to upgrade to? Anything other than PIAAs? Thanks in advance.

Any good kevlar jeans with knee armor on the market today? Hip armor would be nice too but not necessary. Only two I found that looked decent are the Speed and Strength Rage with the Machine Jeans and the RHOK Gen3 PEKEV Jeans. I have heard good things about the RHOK jeans but they are just a...

Looking to get a Yamaha or Givi engine guard. Leaning towards the Givi one as the price is cheaper but I couldn't find a pic to seek an answer to my question. Question is, do you have to remove the headers to install the Givi guard? Seen clear pics of the Yamaha one and looks like you can unbolt...
