I bought some fieldsheer from a motocycle convention in Long Beach, CA. I love these little kevlar jeans. I did however thought they had knee pads in them for some reason. But I bought them for like $60 bucks I scored that day. I end up buying some knee pads which I hardly wear them I should...

Count me in. I need other riders to ride with.

All stock so far Some days I like the stock and some days I say it must go. But I figure why upgrade it when I can upgrade something else. Like the raditor cover or put sliders on the bike. I like stock and has a new rider I have had enough expenses from my all gear jacket,gloves,boots...

The wash up Yesterday I finally washed my bike right. Meaning I would just take a wet and dry cloth and just wash it that way. Went to my local moto shop and I needed a microfiber cloth. But pick some moto wash from Motul. Its about $15 bucks for a nice big bottle. And all you do is spray the...

Tire Pressure I went to Pep Boys the brand name is Slime. It cost me like 8 bucks I know it wasnt more then $10 bucks. Works great and I can put it on my key chain so it always with me. And I brought a foot pump from Big 5. I like my set up and I check my pressure every other day.

The specs of the tire pressure I run 36 fronts and 42 rear. I have played around with a bit of the pressure and found that going up a psi front or rear is ok for me. I dont like to have the tires feel floaty or bouncing. Plus I check my pressure every other day. Or if I havent riden in a week...

Chain lube I just cleaned my chain for the first time. Wasnt that hard I did use this little tool called a wheel jockey that cost me like $50 bucks. It was better then getting a moto stand and spools. So plus no room to store a stand since living in an apt. So space is little tight for all...

First service 600 miles Just went this pass sat for my first service. Went to Pasadena of yahama. Good group of folks. I like the home feeling since its is family owned. But the cost was good paid $310. And I did upgrade from regular oil to synthetic. The bike feels more alive and grunty but...

Well hello everyone, I am a very new rider. This is my second month riding my new FZ8 2013. I did thought of getting a ninja 300 or the honda 500. But I figure I didnt want to get bored nor waste my money. So I went for it and got the FZ8. However I did take the MSF course and everything was...
