    Be Safe This Weekend!

    I'm about to head out and take my kids camping for 6 days straight. To anyone heading out - 2 wheel or 4 -- watch out for drunks. If you're planning to have a drink and you have to ride, take your time to sober up first. I'd love to avoid posts next week about someone getting hurt or worse...

    Grip Glue

    So my Oxford Heaterz grips just broke free while riding. Anyone know of a good grip glue that will bond rubber and plastic, survive high temps, and not break free after repeated hot/cold cycles?

    Replacement (or upgrade) rubber for shifter peg?

    So it looks like I'm a little too aggressive with my bike and I'm wearing out the rubber on the shifter peg and on the shifter itself. Anyone know of a good replacement?

    What Plugs Do You Use?

    I've done a general search but failed find listings of supported plugs for our bikes. I'm looking to make more power and eventually get the front wheel up. What do you guys run? What would you suggest?

    Reflective Decales

    So a close call a few months back (at night) where a driver claimed he couldn't see me caused me to search out ways to be seen from all directions. I'm posting the following with the vendor's approval and because I believe in the product he's selling. My Bike with his product: Custom...

    Frozen Hands...

    A nice and warm, 37 Deg.F this AM (here in the Arizona valley). I managed to stay warm... except for my hands. The Cortech Thinsulate gloves weren't able to do the trick. Thinking of heated grips. Any thoughts/preferences? Does anyone know the Diam of the stock bar?

    1078 Miles...

    So I'm pissed. I followed the engine break in to the T. Changed the oil to full synth at 586 miles... always checked every little aspect before each ride... Last night I go to leave from work. 1st gear is working well through the parking lot. I come to a stop with a very minor downward incline...

    Engine Guard with Frame Sliders?

    I went to install the engine guard last night and noticed that it mounts to the same point as the frame sliders. Attempting to mount sliders on top of the guard doesn't seem like I'd get enough thread into the mount... Can this be safely done? Or, is there another location to mount the sliders?

    Gas dripping from overflow in AZ Heat?

    So I noticed today that my bike is dripping gas from the overflow. Seems to only happen when left in the sun. But heres the thing-- I'm not full or overly full, heck I'm maybe 1 or more ticks from full on display. If I open the fuel cap, the dripping stops. Close it up and it starts after a...

    2011 exhaust the same as the 2013?

    So I've had my FZ8 for about 3 weeks and besides being in love with her, I'm really into modding her. Right now I'm looking at the Jardine RT5 slip on -- but I can only find it for the 2011? Has the exhaust changed much from '11 - '13? Anyone know if it would work, or if there is a similar...

    New member, reporting in.

    Hi All. Just wanted to introduce myself to this form. I will be picking up a '13 FZ8 in the next week or two and I figured this is the site to belong to. I will post pics of the bike once I get her. I figure if I can handle modding an STi, I can handle anything, so let the fun begin! ;)...
