First Ride

[Gem rod]

Some Pics for you all to see. My first Yamaha and I must say what an excellent bike to ride. I also own a CBF600SA which is another good all rounder. The Yamaha has better fuelling and more power of course.

Some more pix.

Just one question so far; how easy it it to oil the chain using the paddock stand and the swing arm pins?

A lot easier than having to roll the bike around back and forth to get every part of the chain.

Nice color on it! I like it

Kinda strange to see color (COLOUR) on the FZ8... Nice.

what is that thing on the swingarm on the left?

using the rear stand is so much easier to oil the chain.

I use a scissor jack and place it on the chain side of the arm and raise the rear up. It lifts the tire off to where I can turn the wheel with my hand with it still on the kick stand.

I wish the American version came with more colors lol

It's an insurance certificate; a legal requirement on the island where I live.
