Hey guys Thanks for all the feedback: Mikz - interesting one, never had an issue with the twist of the hand but will keep in mind, thanks Bagman - forgot to add on the original message that I have also changed the levers! Agreed on mount, I have one. ECU flash wise, have any of you done it...

Hi All, I have a 2012 FZ8 (half faired version) with the following: - heated grips - 12v socket - hugger - R&G crash bungs - Akrapovic can - scottoiler I am happy with the bike, it is as reliable as an old comfortable walking boot but am wondering if there are any cheap mods that any of you...

Hi All, I know I know - "experienced" riders will tell me that my ear is my gear indicator etc etc but still... I do a lot of commuting, some volunteer emergency riding hence a gear indicator is no bad thing. Considering how much our bikes cost brand new (don't worry, I bought mine second...

RD Guy, Unfortunately I disagree, a guy on a BMW S1000RR did 10.9 on the day. Yes the BMW can do 9.something, but the whole point is that it was ridden by a normal person who is not an expert at drag racing, he is hardly going to be doing the top spec for the bike straight away. The point is...

Hi Cobra, I think with everything stock, if you really push it we should be able to get 12 something. I managed to get 12.8 over this weekend and I would say that was pushing at around 80% (I thought I was pushing it, but when I really think about it, a few more runs learning how to do it...

Thanks both... What I will do is carry out another check AND take some photos, hopefully that will help. Will post it all once I have it hopefully over the weekend.

Hi Guys, To check the oil level, we have the oil glass on the right side of the bike, towards the bottom. There is a "low" arrow and a "high" arrow at the bottom and top of the glass. My question is in relation to whether I need to worry about my oil level: - When I check my oil level when...

Hi Guys / Big D Unfortunately I am not going to be able to make it on the 14/06... lets try and book something for late June! See if we can also get any additional riders out with us! Apologies but till the next one Later N

Hi Big D, 14th June wise, lets keep it in the diary between us for now. I may have to cancel but if its just the two of us, we can have a ride around anyway Later

Ah never mind, thought the "its a general issue not just your bike" might be the case but wanted to check anyway. Will need to learn keeping my legs out that little bit more when in traffic! Its worth it due to the extra power and acceleration we get over other 800cc bikes. I wish Yamaha had...

Hi All, Got a Fazer 8, very good all rounder etc etc However, when I'm stuck on heavy traffic, I am a little bit worried at just how hot the bottom just below the tank on either side gets (the black strips on either side of the tank that goes against your thighs) As soon as you get to normal...

Hi All, Looks like BigD and I are the only ones? I was on the LondonBikers website and found the following things going on that may be worthwhile doing instead of the planned 14th June trip: BMF Peterborough Motorcule show on 16th-18th May (could do Saturday 17th) BMF show 16th-18th May BMF...

Hi Popeye, Thanks for the TT 2015 offer, I have always wanted to go but not sure I can do it this year or next (due to my type of work). However, I reckon in the next 3-5 years its a must! Will keep your offer in mind though, thanks

No problem Banky, in the UK when you say "built like a Russian tank" we mean it is very reliable and sturdy... hence the comment. Looking forward to many happy miles with the bike

[added a few more items to this, now that I have ridden over 2,000 miles] Hi Guys, Just bought my faired Fazer 8, 2011. Mine also has; Oxford Heated Grips SatNav with built into the bike charger Akro can R&G protection here and there and everywhere Hugger Hence this review is biased towards...

Hey Guys, Wow, it does look like there's a handful of us hence propose an initial meet? I was thinking Ace Cafe as there is something always going on over there on a Saturday or Sunday sunny day, hence could be a good starting point for all of us? How about around Saturday June 14th at Ace...

Hey Guys, I'm SW London hence Surrey ish is easy. Looks like there's far more people than I originally thought UK based!!! Summer time we could try and do Rykers or Ace Cafe methinks!?! Picking up my Fazer 8 next Saturday so can take it from there. Any of you suggest a particular insurance...

deposit down for Fazer8 Hey Guys, Good to see a UK Forum for Fazer 8 owners. I have put a deposit down for a 2011 Fazer 8 and am picking it up next week! I'm based in London. Looking forward to it and will post picks once I have it. Ace Cafe always a good place to meet? Laters
