    R1 Fork Swap

    At least one with powerful brake :-) I am not sure the length of the fork is the same so even if it is ok to ride this way it may have some changes between both forks.

    How-to (new) - Fazer8 dual low beam mod (WIP)

    I would like to know if the beam angle is in the same direction than the original one? I mean generally when you are driving on the right side of the road the beam's height decreases from the right to the left in order to reduce the risk to dazzle the driver in the other direction. So I guess...

    Not sure if that has been asked, i'm sure it has!

    if you would like to perform such a swap, I guess that the solution it to swap more or less everything. for sure the TB and airbox but probably also wiring loom the ECU.... well at the end lot of work (and maybe money too)

    Rebuilding Rolling Chassis FZ8

    I suggest to have a look on the R1 owner site. the installation is probably quite similar (at least for the 2007 R1) and as there are some needs for engine maitnenance on R1 you will have probably some info there.

    Super soft front end on 2011

    I do swap the internal withr R1 (2003 2004) ones. the gain is rebound and preload adjustment but you cannot adjust the compression anymore (the FZ8 fork lower end has not the appropriate design for that) keeping the original oil (Kayaba 01) that s definetely worth it.

    Question R1 cam swap

    I have made some comparison concerning the valves spring rate between some yamaha bikes (R6, R1, FZ8, FZ1) and the conclusion is quite clear all the sports bike have really more stiif spring (up to 2 times more). For sure the RPM are note the same but well I do think that the cam shape may...

    Question R1 cam swap

    I am checking the diffference between the valve spring rate of those bikes FZ8 / R1 07. That may explain my noise because FZ8 spring are really weak compared to the R1. In addition if your bike is not a brand new one some fatigue wear my also reduce teh stiffness further...

    Information Crankshaft spun bearing

    Is somebody knows if FZ8 are known for the spun bearing issues? I know that a certain number of R1 07 08 are concerned but as it is not the same numbers of horsepower and not exactly the same rod and crankshaft design than the R1, I was wondering if the FZ8 could not been concerned (I have a...

    Soft front suspension

    only the last edition (from 2013 if my memory is correct) are "adjustable" (in fact only spring preload) Anyway the fork is a cheap one with the minimum in terms of hydraulic damping so....

    Question R1 cam swap

    you should buy from A 2007 2008 R1 (4 valves engine) the 2 camshafts with their sprockets, the chain and the crankshaft sprocket. in addition it is recommended to degree the camshafts therefore you should be equipped with a dial gage to measure the TDC and the valve max opening. Check on...

    Hi, i am on the way to install internals from a R1 but I need some information to properly adjust those parts to the FZ8. So does anybody have the length of those parts (on the FZ8): the preload spacer (only the length usefull for preloading) the cartridge (only the bottom part installed inside...

    noisy clutch

    I bought my bike (39000km / 23000 miles) about one month ago and notice a strange noise coming from the RH side. when I release the clutch lever (i.e. in neutral position) there is a sound like a damaged bearing on the RH. This noise is worst when the engine is warmed up. I have also notice that...

For sure it is far away from the Tuono 1000 but for everyday life and having...
