congrats! good deal too

does it match up with the flash rate of the front turn signals? couldnt really tell from the video

Thats shitty man. Some people suck. Im just north of you if you need a lend-a-tool. Or if you wanna ride hit me up.

I have to the Shad seat as well. Its probably my best purchase for my FZ8. I hated the stock rider seat and my girlfriend would not ride pillion with the original seat. She's good for about an hour before her knees start cramping up but thats with any sport style bike and not related to the seat.

thats gnarly lookin man. great job

Two years seemed like a little overkill. I think I'll just pump the pistons out a bit and clean any dirt and grit off of them.

Come spring time when I yank the bike out of storage, I'm putting some SS brake lines and new brake pads on (among other things). I've watched a few how to's on changing brake lines, bleeding brakes, ect. and it's pretty straightforward. What I can't find is any info on replacing the brake...

congrats on the stock tire longevity! my next set after the stockers were the road 4s. i absolutely love em, with about 6000 miles on them i have zero complaints. grip is phenomenal for a sport touring tire. shows almost no noticeable wear so far. ive done very little wet weather riding but the...

i really like the speed triple. how would you compare it to the fz8? power, ergos, ect.? the s1000r is another one i would love to demo too, a lot of money but the features are great

nice vid man. looked like some good roads. just my :2cents: the noise of the bike is always better than a soundtrack. i know its not always possible to get good audio though. what handguards are those by the way?

It seemed a little high to me. Im just a little lost on what decent aftermarket brands there are. I like my stock gearing so i just want replacements

Shopping for a front and rear sprocket as well as a new chain. Supersprox asking 355 for all this. Is that an okay price? Their website is a little screwy to work with but you can see for yourself. SUPERSPROX USA- Yamaha - Road Bikes - 800 ccm - FZ8 S Fazer 8 USA [2010-2013]

thanks for the tips guys. oil is freshly changed but its right at the top of the sight glass. i do exactly 3 qts every change and thats always where it ends up, maybe i should drain a little out. I lubed the clutch cable not to long ago as well. But i did tighten up the cable some and that seems...

Hey guys, just stumbled across the new Yamaha FJ-09. Personally I think its a sharp looking bike and a step in the right direction for Yamaha. I would love to take it for a test ride and see what its all about. I rack up a lot of miles on my FZ8 and who knows.. something more touring friendly...

Hey guys. Been having a problem with my FZ8 downshifting for a couple weeks now. When i go to downshift (5th-4th or 4th-3rd mostly) Ill pull the clutch in, give it a revmatch, then push down on the shifter and release the clutch while applying throttle.. All of this pretty quickly to make for a...

that resort looks pretty sweet. definetly gonna keep that in mind when its time to book a place. thanks for the tip!

My buddy and I have been talking about planning a trip in the spring to the smoky mountains from Boston. It's somewhere we've always wanted to see and what better way than by motorcycle. I know the FZ8 isn't ideal for touring but I wanna give it a whirl anyway. I'd like to avoid highways as much...

our Euro bros have a different ignition setup then ours

I gotta second that. I have a twobros on mine but the sharp angles of the V&H look perfect on the 8.

Did you loose all electric or just motor? Im not too good with diagnostics but the more details you give the more the other guys on here could help. Keep us posted.
