Had my FZ8 for about 5 years now and the new FZ09s have been looking pretty nice, but I don't REALLY need a new bike. Thinking about just going to a larger rear sprocket to get some more fun out of the FZ8. Years ago, I did a +2 rear on my 01 SV650 and it was a nice little upgrade, but now I'm...

2012 FZ8. Recently noticed only my left cooling fan is coming on when the temp hits 214*F. I unplugged the fan connector under the tank, applied 12v and it spins, but at 214* I'm not getting any power to the connector. Left fan work perfectly, but not the right. I assume the fans don't have...

Got them from motorcycle-superstore ($152). Installed this afternoon. Easy install, most difficult thing was that the left side guard mounts using the two bolt-holes which hold on the kickstand, so it's necessary to lean the bike against something on the right in order to remove/replace those...

I'm going to go look at a 2012 FZ8 next weekend, and was wondering if there's anything year/model specific I should be looking for? I've read that the 2013 has a different exhaust and adjustable forks; are there any other changes? Any known problems?
