Installed a set of new PP2CT's the other day. Huge differece to the old stock tires. During the riding-in of the tires, the peg touched the road, while there was still some room left on the tire (0.4cm) Front tire pressure: 2.25Bar Rear tire pressure: 2.5 Bar Outside temp: 17°C A kneedown was...

interesting, but I don't think either that the bike in the picture is going to be the new MT-01. (description says MT-0S?) The looks of that bike isn't my cup of tea.

I looked like a complete noob the very first time I was riding my first bike (FZ6). I parked at a crowded market place where people where sitting on the terras outside bar's drinking and hanging out. When I wanted to leave again, I started the bike, and put it in first gear. The bike died. I...

- For the tank and plastics I use a sponge with clear water, and a dry microfiber cloth. The same for the headlight glass. - For the rims I use a dry piece of fabric (like old underwear or T-shirt) and WD-40 - For cleaning the gold star-shaped thingy on the front brake caliper, I use a cotton...

This weekend, my official yamaha dealer told me that in 2016, Yamaha will let go of the FZ1. In stead, they will bring out a new MT-01. It will have a 4 cilinder new generation R1-engine. That's all he could tell me. So there will be a 2 cilinder MT-07, a 3 cilinder MT-09 and a 4 cilinder...

I did 3 testrides wit the MT-09 and tracer this weekend. In my opoinion, the only upgrade compared to the FZ8 is the engine torque and weight. I will not trade in my FZ8 for an MT-09 and here's why: The engine is a beast, but it's too much torque for all the other components in the bike. -...

Congrats on the new bike. I've been playing around with the idea of changing to an MT-09 naked version myself. I did a testride on the MT-09 naked and MT-09 Tracer. The torque on those engines is a blast and havent feeled this kind of power in the lower RPM's since the test ride with an...

Hi, Does anybody else notice the sound of the engine getting more throaty starting from 3.5K RPM? It's very noticable. When below 3.5K RPM, the engine sounds like the FZ6. wen going past 3.5K, the sounds suddenly get's a more throaty character. This is exhaust sound. I wonder if this is...

What you are describing sounds not logical to me. When the bike is not running, there is no circulation of oil, so all the oil is gathered in the oil pan. This should be the Maximum level of oil at the oil glass. When the bike is running, the oil pump circulates oil in the engine, resulting in...

I'll order some flamethrowers tomorrow :p

I added some running-shoe spikes to my radiator grill. I applied Loctite on the thread of the spikes (there is not enough space to install a locking nut, so i chose not to make the thread in the radiator cover, but have the thread of the spike cut in the aluminum instead. + loctite) No way that...

I did a wheelie once.......once! I tried it on my FZ6 back in the days. Came down hard, and broke my HID xenon. I think wheelies are best done on dirtbikes or so. Unless you are the wheelie-master, it puts stress on the whole bike (frame, front forks, fork seals,...) with a real chance of crashing.

Pictures taken in a sunset are the best :) Something about the warmth of the sun color making the photo even more awesome;)

Is this color scheme not available at the US? I dont know why yamaha does this. But i guess it all has something to do with marketing.

Here is another one with my girlfriend. This is taken with A smartphone :)

The golden rims are stock. Its a 2012 fz8 bought here in belgium. (Europe)

The first time i saw the fz8 was in the showroom in this exact configuration. I was in love from the first second :) That much, that i traded in my beloved (and modded) fz6 one week later.

These are some pics I took with my latest mods fitted - short plate holder - LED indicators - Monoxx tail light Camera: Canon powershot SX210IS Software: Photomatix pro These are all HDR pictures.

Today I ordered the tail light. Are the connectors plug and play? Or do I need a connector conversion kit to plug it in the OEM parts of the FZ8?

Thanks for the quick reply. Are you happy with the brightness of the leds? Good sunlight readability of the design And stuff?
