Hi Guys Does anyone know please what is behind the two frame lids? One on either side and I believe on both the FZ8 and FZ8SA ? I'm trying to see if I can access the Rear ABS Sensor Coupler without removing fairings, lifting tank and possibly even having to remove the air filer case. The w/s...

Hi Everyone After 9000 miles time for front tyre change. I purchased the cheapest front paddock stand I could find fro a dealer. I already had a rear stand that works pretty well since I service my chain fairly regularly. The brake pads came out with relatively little difficulty although one...

I just wondered what people recommend for removal of the front wheel? I haven't purchased a stand yet. I only have a rear stand. Should I buy one that locates under the headstock or under the front forks? I imagine it would need to locate under the front forks but I just wanted to be sure...

With the Fazer family now discontinued from the Yamaha UK line up (and presumably US too), I wondered what kind of bike people may be thinking of owning next? How good for example is the new MT-09? The three cylinder 900cc crossover type concept differs from the classic Fazer all rounder and...

My bike is the FZ8S (Faired Version). I already removed the LHS and RHS black trim that sits on top of the fairing and goes around the clocks. That's easy to do just by removing some fixings and these two plastic 'press in' clips near the clocks. Removing one bolt either side of the fairing...

Can anyone direct me to the workshop manuals on this forum please? Thanks in advance G

Has anyone else felt the rather severe crunch when the bike is first put into gear after a cold start up? It does get better when the bike is warm. Could it harm the gears in the long term? I actually started it today from cold with the bike in gear and it seemed better apart from a slight...

Not me. Some guy in Germany. 156mph Yamaha FZ8 on german autobahn (156mph / 252Km/h) - YouTube

Well I've had the Fazer for two months now, and clocked up just over 1000 miles. I thought I would just give a little review. Mine is the faired version with ABS and I purchased it from new although it was an old 2012 show room model. The bike came with a touring screen, crash bars, and...

Went out late at night for the first time since owning the bike. Lots of cars flashing me and quickly realised that my dip beam is far too high. The rider's manual just refers you to the dealer. Is adjustment a simple task? Must get hold of the workshop manual by the way. Can anyone help...

Finally got my top box and rack today for my Fazer 800 that I ordered from the Yamaha dealer when I brought the bike. Sure enough the 50 Litre box came with the Yamaha manual and fitting instructions and so is a genuine product. Two major niggles: First the rack does not actually fit without...

Hello Everyone. I wanted to get a people's views on chain lube. In particular what do you use and how do you apply it? I want to resist something as expensive and complicated as a Scott Oiler for now however I may consider it to be an option in the future. I would however be interested to...

Some Pics for you all to see. My first Yamaha and I must say what an excellent bike to ride. I also own a CBF600SA which is another good all rounder. The Yamaha has better fuelling and more power of course.
