Curious about your mileage and whether anything's gone wrong with the bike for you. 27,690 miles on my 2011 FZ8, bought it brand new in Jan 2012 with 0 miles on the odometer. Has been an exceptional bike so far: bulletproof, almost. absolutely nothing wrong with it, followed the maintenance...

When a dog looks sad to you (has his head down, not making eye contact, etc) - he's actually content and happy. :)

He loves it. :D

Where in California are you located?

Woke up to find my battery dead. Charged it up, and then that same night it died again Any ideas? The battery itself is good..

I seem to remember that they have adapters on that site for ram mounts, but not sure.. take a look

Hm. Is there a way for me to switch my F to read C instead? I'm not really used to the whole fahrenheit thing :o

I second this, I have the patrol jacket, patrol gloves, and patrol pants (which I wear over jeans) myself. I'm riding around here in 14 - 20 degree weather.. Also a thumbs up on the armor: I lowsided a few weeks ago at ~30mph, and although I now have a ~2inch diameter hole in my jacket's left...

Just thought I'd give you guys a tip: this thing rocks: Hard Ruggardised Waterproof Case for Apple iPhone 4 it's a waterproof case, you can easily use the touchscreen (even with gloves on) through the thing. There's a mount that connects to our handlebars, and you can twist the phone whatever...

Welcome! I was in your country last year, loved it!

Damn you! Straight to hell! I ride around in 14 - 20 degrees here :mad: Lucky bastards :D

I searched these forums, found this gem: http://www.779cc.org/forum/fz8-general-discussion/170-a.html There's a tip there that helped me out: hold the clutch in while starting the bike. That worked. I usually don't hold it in if it's in neutral, didn't even occur to me to try.. :) I'm glad...

Hmm. Well, I rode it home for those 5 miles and then parked it for the next 14 hours outside, in the cold. The battery is brand new, they didn't slap an old one in there. Is the solenoid spinning.. hm.. I think so. The bike just makes a noise when I press the "start engine" button that sounds...

Yeah, this isn't my first bike.. :) And yah, the whole thing is brand new. I've got 5.3mi on the odometer: the distance from the yamaha dealer to where the bike's parked now :D

So, here's what is quite possibly the most retarded question you saw here yet: how the hell do I start this bike when it's cold out? :D It was 14 degrees F this morning, tried to start the bike and it didn't.. pretty lights lit up on the dashboard, as usual, but that's about it. when I try to...

Hey, Picked up my '11 FZ8 today to replace my crashed '02 ZX6. Freezing here in New York, but oh well.. :) the bike!
