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...

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]

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...

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...

Hey guys. Just picked up a gopro hero 3+ a week ago. Finally got to mount it on my helmet and go for about an hour ride. I put together a little video just messin around tryin to get a feel for iMovie and editing. Figured this would be a good spot to put it. Comments welcome...

Am I the only one who doesnt want to get rid of their rear fender. I know, I know.. It looks like a snow shovel. And its big and stupid and dumb and it sucks. But I cant bring myself to get rid of it. IMO, it kinda balances out the bike. Anyone else still rockin the stock rear fender?

So if your like me and you live in a part of the country that uses salt on its roads, thats really the scariest thing for your beloved fz8. I just ordered 32oz of this spray. Supposedly its sprayed on airplanes that spend most of their time on aircraft carriers pummeled with sea salt. Ive heard...

Got a question for you guys. I know a lot of you have bar end mirrors so maybe you can help me. I bought some Ride It mirrors and id like to use my factory bar ends. Would these adapters help in achieving a clean look. Greggs Customs Bar End Mirror Adpater for Yamaha/Aprilia - SoloMotoParts.com...

This is how a lot of us are probably feeling right now. What winter has done to me. - YouTube

So I have a love/hate relationship with my stock rear fender. I love the fact that it keeps a mud pinstripe from appearing on my back every time i ride in the wet. And I do ride in the wet alot. But I hate how bulky and ugly it is. It looks like a snow shovel on the back of my bike. Is there...

So i got a pair of Dainese Textile Pants. Great pant for protection but for just going around town or running some errands there a little much in the looks department. Any of you guys wear kevlar jeans when you ride? I looked at the Dainese jeans - too skinny looked at the Icon jeans- look too...

For those of us that live in cold climates and dont get to do much riding once the snow starts flying. What does everybody do for fun during winter? If im not plowing the snow, Im usually playing in it. Snowboarding, snowshoeing, ect. Would love to buy a sled too. What do you guys do?

I still live at home with the parents. Our only storage is a small shed and its full of my fathers crap. I bought a good Dowco cover that i've been keeping my bike under since May. With another New England winter weeks away i've yet to find an indoor place to store it. Buddies garages are...

I installed a twobros exhaust on my FZ8. Id like to smooth her out a bit now. If i installed a power commander or a juicebox is it necessary to have the bike dyno-tuned. I know it most certainly wouldnt hurt, but is it bad not to do it?

I just bought and installed a two bros carbon slip on on my 8. My intitial reaction was holy crap my neighbors are gunna hate me. After a 20 minute ride i began to think holy crap my ears are gonna hate me. So i just bought the p1x DB killer for it hoping it would quiet it down to a comfortable...
