The reason I ask is because I notice a lot of people with FZ8's are either in their late 20's or older. I was 21 when I bought this bike brand new last year. It just caught my attention and I didn't want a sport bike as I already had one. Am I the only young guy here?

I see there is a lot of different rotellas. I also noticed a lot of people use rotella as their oil for their bikes but which one? can someone provide a link or picture to the one I should be using in my bike? I see they go no more than $25 at walmart. If this is an oil a lot of people use, do...

So I got my radiator coolant refilled about 500 miles ago. After the Service I noticed coolant leaking from a thin hose coming from the Radiator reservoir. It only happens when the bike is hot at about 190-200 degrees f. I took pictures of the tank and hose after a ride Noticed the reservoir...

It is full synthetic JASO MA-2 certified. It is the first time I see a castrol oil for motorcycles. If anyone has used it will you please input any opinions regarding the oil?

Hey guys! I'm about to hit 600 miles soon on my new FZ8. Do you guys recommend I take it to a dealer and pay $280? I have a friend that I've known for several years that has a motorcycle shop. Hes been fixing my bikes since the first bike I've ever had. He told me he'd do it for $120 depending...

I was wondering why my headers would make such a noise or at least it sounds like my headers. It usually always happens when I'm riding and push the engine hard to about 9k then letting off the throttle I hear popping sounds as if it were coming from my headers. Is it normal? Is it bad? Thanks...

Hey guys! I have a 2013 fz8 with 400 miles. Ever since I bought it new I hear some sort of noise when letting the clutch go and pulling the throttle. It feels as if I am not holding the clutch long enough and as if has not enough power to pull the bike from a stop. I feel that I hold the...
