I have a 2011 fz8 in the last 2 weeks its made a clicking sound around the tail section as I start it. Its happened 3 times so far and when I press the start button again it turns over and starts no problem. After talking with friends that work on their own bikes the general consensus is it's...

Look up the Lars air box mod.

FZ8's are great bikes. I got mine a year and 1/2 ago for 5500. With the FZ9 out at such a good cost Fz8's in good condition with add ons and mods in my opinion will sell for around 5K. I mean you can get a stock FZ9 thats faster then a FZ8 with ABS and fuel control for 8K off the dealership...

Thanks!

Changing fork seals unless you know how and have the right tools is a bitch. Helped a friend do his and he knew how. Went fine, however had I tried to do this myself man it would have been tough, I think 250 to 350 is what a shop will charge you. Fork seals can also be broken by securing a bike...

I've had a Arkon Bicycle Cell phone mount on my FZ8 for 7 months. I drive daily in the city with horrible streets and on the weekends I take 200 too 400 mile runs on highways and back roads. Works great!!! I even put a handle bar mounted USB/Cigg lighter power supply on my bike. Both work...

Thank you bag man, its my intention to do to a Cycle Gear in Baton Rouge as soon as the tax money drops in my account. Just wanted some real life information tp walk in the door with.

I'm getting my tax check soon and plan on dropping around around 600 bucks on proper gear. I see plenty of old threads and wanted advice on current gear out. Looking for hopefully a 2 piece of protective gear for all seasons as well as rain. There's tons of stuff out there and getting reviews...

Got a new battery today, bought a larger one and got rid of the spacer. I'll know this weekend if its cold and works. Cranks much stronger so I think a new battery will take care of it. I live in New Orleans so I ride year round and am usually on my bike 4 plus times a week so sitting isn't a...

Its a 2011 and It's most prob the first battery in the bike. I bought it in March with 6800 miles on it. Yea I'm thinking it's time for a new battery, just thought I'd try and see what battery life the FZ8 has.

Hey all, looking for experience with batteries on the FZ8. Bike starts fine 60 degrees and above but every time I leave the bike alone for 2 or more days and it fall below 55 to 60 I have to get out the charger. After 30 min to a hour shes starts fine. Question is.... is colder weather just a...

Thanks cmurder, I've tried googling and only found maps on PC sight. I'll keep lookin though perhaps I've missed some.

Uhmmm yea not really going to work since I'm upgrading one thing at a time and the flashs would need to be done everytime, Also as stated I've already ordered anyway.

Hey all I have a PCV on the way, only thing beyond stock is a K&N air filter. I'm thinking one of the maps already listed on the PC site will work fine for that set up. I posted for a couple reasons.....Any advice? Planning on doing the air box mod, do I need a special map and has anyone got it...

If it's still floating around out there I'd love a copy for when I do get a PCV. [email protected] Thanks

Thinking about picking up a PV5 to improve stock, does it improve the performance enough to merit the purchase? I have a sportster and noticed a dramatic difference in it on the first ride. I'm sure I got another 7 plus HP out of the bike. I changed the airfilter, exhaust and got the PV5 for it...

Thanks for the Welcomes guys! I'm in New Orleans, La. Sorry bout the slow reply.

Hey all Just bought a 2011 FZ8 a couple weeks ago with 7k miles for 5500 bucks. Done about 400 miles on it and love it! I also own a 2007 sportster and have had a Vmax, Intercepter, Shadow, 650 and 550 Kz's and a bunch of other bikes as well. I'm finding the FZ freakin awesome!!! I'm from New...
