Is this still available? I'm interested i buying it...

Find a used FZ6 from 2007-2009. They are cheap and very easy to ride and parts are plentiful. I owned an 07 and an 09, great bikes before I upgraded to my FZ8.

I always walk the bike back out of parking spots or get of the bike and back it into a spot so when I leave, I don't have to walk it out. I also hip slide when at a stop to put one foot down. I'm 5'5" with short legs. LOL

One should be enough and if not, just add a little water to top it off. I use water wetter for my bikes here in California without worrying about freezing and it's what they recommend for trackdays. :D

You are correct. But don't fill it too low either. :)

I've seen plenty of trackday instructors giving two up rides on the track with the FZ8 so i know it will do great. I also ride with a local group in Sacramento. You're welcome to come ride with us. I'm a Mod for the local forum. :D

Another alternative is that you could get heated grips...:p

My rack and top case came yesterday and I spent all evening cutting the tail section to make room for the rear rack to fit. After several trips to the store and borrowing a friend's dremel tool, I was able to finish the job and got everything mounted and ready to go. One last note, it was...

Thanks everyone! :cheers: OOPS! just realized I posted this in the MOds section and NOT the intro section. Could a mod move this thread please? thanks!

Welcome! I too needed a bike that is comfy for the long rides because I hurt my lower back snowboarding and can't handle a sportbike's ergo. Love my FZ8! :D :welcome:

Welcome! Santa Barbara is a great place to live and ride! :welcome:

I do leave the cap off when I run my engine to burp all the air bubbles out. Then I top off and put cap back on with minimal spillage.

How much lighter is this GPR pipe than the stock pipe?

Civil Engineer....

Thanks! I had a Shad case for my FZ6 and loved it. I checked them out and none had the passenger grab rail on the rack so that's why I'm going with the yamaha rack. I ordered the rear rack from Yamaha Genuine Parts and the top case on Amazon. thanks for the parts number Larry. Cant wait for...

Thanks, Larry! :rockon: I too, went to the local dealer and was told they cant order it either. :hbwall: Do you know if the rack and top case requires a plate? Also, how does the dollar conversion work (converts automatically?) when you go to check out online since it's coming from Canada...

Glow in the dark dip would be awesome! Makes the bike more visible at night for safety sake. :D

I love the rear rack with the passenger integrated grab rail. Anyone able to find it in the US? I've only found them online in the UK and Canada. I want to get the 46L top case and the rear rack with passenger rail integrated. Any help would be very much appreciated! :)

Hello all, I'm Darren and I live in Sacramento, California. Just bought a 2012 FZ8 in June. It's an upgrade from owning previous FZ6's. Been riding about 8 years and I have owned about 20 street and dirt bikes. I get bored with them and always changing bike. But I have a feeling I'll be holding...
