So today while I was riding I hit that sweet spot, 3000 RPM, where the ringing is prevalent, and suddenly I hear a clunk and this comes flying out the back of my motorcycle! I took the bike to the shop where I got my major service done and they don't believe this is a part of my bike. Their...

My 2012 FZ8 is my first bike. Practice in a parking lot. Big open space. Keep it below 6000 RPM until you become comfortable. Congratulations! I taught myself to ride and I haven't taken the course. I don't regret my decision. Always wear gear. I bought Helmet, Jacket, Gloves and boots before I...

Any thoughts as to what it could be? lol

its uploading as we speak. 2012 Yamaha FZ8 Ringing Noise @ 3000 RPM - YouTube let me know if its the same

I have the exact same thing!! Mine however is at 3000 RPM. It comes in whether the bike is in neutral or in gear. It actually doesn't matter what gear it is but it is always at exactly ~3000 RPM. I think I've gotten the noise in some video so I may post a link to a YouTube video if you guys...

Really? I can't even get my mom to look at a picture of my bike without her lecturing me on how dangerous they are.

I just bought one 2012 for my first bike and I have to say, it was definitely not a mistake. Excellent bike. The suspension is soft, but for me that translates to comfortable. It's definitely not slow haha maybe not as fast as a 1000CC but definitely not slow by any means at all.

mine doesn't do that. starts instantly. 2012 though.

I just bought a Shoei X-Twelve in Matte Black. It just arrived in the mail so I'll let everyone know how it is. Initial impression. It's very lightweight.

I buddy I work with just bought a heated jacket liner. He says it's excellent for cold days. He doesn't even wear any special pants or anything because the heater works so well on cold days.

that's gorgeous!

I think its changed by holding select. I thought I saw that somewhere. I'll check my manual when I get home tho.

They're referring to the insurance company average. For example, everyone in Edmonton that has a bike with 800 CC but does not have their class 6 license must pay $444 because that is the calculated # they've figured it would cost to insure someone based on all the new riders.

I got quoted $9000/year once if I wanted to buy a S1000RR LOL I did it for shits and giggles. First bike. 21 years old. I bought an FZ8 yesterday, 2012 used, and the minimum is $444/year.

Actually, recently I filled up 94 octane in my Jeep Patriot to see what would happen when the manufacturer recommends only 87 octane and my car had trouble starting as well. When I switched back to 87 it never stalled again.
