    Fz8 gauges stopped working

    *Update* Just put a new battery in and still no luck. Thought maybe the old one had bad voltage due to age. Everything worked well when put away last fall.

    Fz8 gauges stopped working

    Anybody ever make any headway with this issue? I had it happen intermittently at startup last season, but brushed it off as it always came back on. This year I'm not having the same luck. Lights are on (backlight, neutral, turn signals, etc) but no ones home (no speedo, tach, trip, etc).

    What brand of gear do you wear?

    I'm currently using a Shoei GT-Air and a Speed and Strength "Speed Strong" jacket. I chose the jacket because it came with shoulder, elbow, and back protection for like $150ish. It also has minimal branding, which I like (the jackets that have the brand huge across the chest or back look pretty...

    I paid 7k for my '12 last spring. Had right around 3,000 miles and a handful of upgrades, nothing as extensive/expensive as yours though.

    2013 fz8 device mount

    I recently got the ram mount handlebar kit with the short arm and the iphone 6 specific clip. I've only been out with it a couple times but it was really adjustable and seems to be really stable. So far I'm really satisfied with it. Got it on amazon and saved a couple bucks from the ram website...

    eBay GT-Air

    Don't need a helmet at all in Michigan. I saw you can buy DOT stickers from Amazon and the sorts, thought about doing that. Totally sketchy, but whatever. Think there are any actual quality or structural differences?

    eBay GT-Air

    Built in helmet lock!

    So what is the news here? Has anyone figured out a way to secure a helmet under the passenger seat? I know I've tried, probably spent too much time doing so, to no avail. I just bought a GT Air and I'm not comfortable leaving it around like I did my GMax. Waiting to buy a real lock until I...
