Which one of you all has the fz8 with the red rim tape and the yoshimura exhaust that lives here? Pulled up next to you at the stop light yesterday.

SD70M2 What pitch did you end up with? 525 520 or 530? Ive found AFAM makes a 15T front sprocket with our OEM pitch but thus far have not been able to find a 48T rear with a 525 pitch.(except JT Sprockets) which i will not put on my bike. Also what chain(brand, and #of links) are you running...

I just bought a speedo healer and am looking to upgrade front and rear sprockets. 15T front and 48T rear. I have found GTYR front sprockets on yamaha's website. But am looking for a (preferably steel) rear sprocket Aluminum would work to if there are no steel. Does anyone know of what brands are...

Just curious but What rpm range do you live in? What range do you find yourselves staying in the most? Crushing on the highway and around town

Thanks very helpful. The bike has aroun 3800miles on it. I've been contemplating both the front and rear sprocket. Is there any difference on the wear and tear? And also is the bike working harder because of a different final drive meaning (will it screw anything up faster by changing the final...

This is probably a stupid question but I wanted to upgrade my rear sprocket from a 46T to a 48T and put on a new DID chain. Does my chain pitch change from a 525?? And do I/ should I replace the front sprocket as well I did not want to go down a tooth in the front just up a tooth in the rear.

Thanks for the ideas and advice. Yea I have brought it back to the dealer and they denied doing everything and said "how do we know you didn't do it yourself?" Why the hell would I overfill my bike and ovrtighten my chain just after bringing in to have it serviced? Lol. I will be in further...

So earlier I was inspecting my chain when I started to manually roll the bike back and forth slowly, I had the bike in gear clutch pulled in with the engine off. As I'm rolling it back and forth (maybe 2-5 inches) I noticed a clunking noise coming from the drive sprocket area. Have any of you...

LOL. Smells like my velocity stacks need some repair or my turn signals could be too loose.

How can you tell if your running too rich or lean? When running rich will you be able to smell it coming out the exhaust? Im currently running jumbo map (closest map I could get thus far) due to our closest dyno is 60 miles away and have not had the time to go get it tuned.

I'm in cocoa beach. Thanks for the welcome.

After loosening the chain to factory specs the chain tension is not the problem. It only seems to happen while im braking... if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.

Yesterday I just had my bike serviced for its 4000k. The tech said everything was good. I drove off after Yamaha had closed. Then as I am coming up on a stoplight just braking I noticed a fast vibration that came and went as I started approaching the line that was not there before I brought it...

Hello everyone. I've been reading and researching this forum for a month or two now. I bought my 2012 FZ8 with around 500miles on her in mid July of this year.... Awesome bike! She now has 4500miles and a few modifications later as she is my daily driver, rain or shine. I just wanted to finally...
