Vibrations in pegs and under seat Hey guys, The girl I sold my bike to started feeling strong vibrations in the pegs lately, she has a feeling it's coming from the shifter area. She sent me this video: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/44881118/IMG_1476.mov Does your Fz8 have that much loose where the...

Please delete this post Please delete this post, I posted in the wrong section (and can't find where I can delete it), thanks!

I'm subscribed to tons of motorcycle websites and forums, and this morning I fell on a post that as obvious as it may be, I never thought of before. Now why are manufacturers putting torque/power dips at certain places in the RPM range when they could easily eliminate them through the injection...

Ok so in the past 5 years I bought a new bike every year. Bought the FZ8 last Spring and thought I'd keep it at least 2 years. But I think I've been trying to find the holy grail of motorcycles that would do it all perfectly. Conclusion: It doesnt exist. My plans are to buy a used Yamaha MT-01...

I had a Rukka suit for about 5 years now (about 100 000km in it). It's starting to show a bit of wear and though it's still 100% waterproof, I don't trust the protection as much as when it was new. Even the best material with time when exposed to UV for long periods of time will end up losing...

I'm trying to decide if I'm removing the belly pan or not. Before with the spotted headers I liked the belly pan cause it was hiding it, but now that headers are nice and black, I'm considering going full naked... Will maybe have a belly pan for sale... (The wire on the seat is for heated...

I'm looking into it, if it's something I can afford I'd love to have this as a city solo bike. I'd keep my FZ8 since the Virago isn't as practical, but damn I hope I can have both!

I'm looking at this seat cowl: Seat Cowl Cover Yamaha FZ8 Fazer 2010 2011 - Jesters Trick Bits Limited About 185$USD, the Yamaha one is about 225$.Anybody here has it on his bike?

Ok so this isn't specific to the FZ8. But I'm a photographer, and hated to carry around my Canon 5DII with a few lenses on my long trips. As much as I liked having it accessible, it never was really. As I had to pack it super waterproof, and it ended up being in a bag with a few more electronic...

YAY!!! Forum is back!!:D

ADM Sport - Photon - Contrôleur de vitesse universel ITL Photon Universal cruise control / ControÌ‚leur de vitesse universel - YouTube Just bought this today, for an 8hour highway ride. Tried it and its so simple and efficient I hate myself for not inventing it. Best 16$ I spent in a while.

http://www.twistedthrottle.com/trade/productview/6222/520/ Trying to find a place in Canada to order these...(to avoid ridiculous shipping and duty fees). Anyone bought these so far a review would be cool :) http://youtu.be/1PVgBKaRvGA Pure genius.

Sorry for posting here but its the only section we actually read :) Wondering if you guys use Premium 91-94 octane or regular gas in your FZ8. In the book it says regular can be used, but I've always used premium gas in my bikes...And for my Speed Triple and Scrambler, premium was even the gas...

OK weather was great outside so I went for a quick shooting of the bike as it is (and I think I'll be able to stop spending on it for a few weeks now). Here's the mods I've done so far. R&G tail tidy Yamaha LED blinkers Yamaha belly pan Yamaha frame sliders Yamaha center stand Rizoma mirrors...

Lately I sometimes have trouble starting the bike when it's cold. It sometimes takes 2-3 starts to get it going and it starts a bit rough, then evens out. Anyone seeing this? By cold engine Im not even talking as winter cold, just parked in the shed at 15C. Once it's been started the rest of...

Today was the big day. Yamaha LED blinkers, belly pan, center stand, and tail tidy installed. Here are quick pictures I took and a video of the blinkers. YouTube- blinker.wmv Overall very satisfied. The tail tidy is tidy but I'll need some shrink wrap to finish cleaning up the wires that...

The one who designed the adhesive on the tank warning stickers, deserves to be castrated by a crocodile. There's a clear plastic on the stickers that peals off easily, and then you're stuck with a sticker (2 stickers on canadian models one english, one french) that can only be removed 1/16" at...

I've ordered cheap black anodized bar end mirrors on ebay, for like 10$ shipped from Hong Hong (that would still have worked great, but don't fit because of the bar ends weights, would take me a bolt a mile long). CNC BAR END MIRROR YAMAHA FZ6 FZ1 XJ6 FZ6N FZ1N FZ8 | eBay I'm looking at those...
