I don't mind the can, I think it's quite stylish for stock. There are certainly uglier ones around.

Ahh I see. Don't the previous models have pre-load adjustment on the rear shock? I thought they did.

Maybe if you took your bike to down them to have a exhaust fitted they might make a custom one to fit while fitting the exhaust. Probably best to give them a ring and discuss it with them.

You could also try Fuel exhausts at blackpool or Simmi in Newcastle.

MTC and PipeWerx premises are both 15 minutes away from me. I've heard they are both good exhausts, probably not much to choose between them other than which one is cheaper. Probably will put one of those on mine in the future, plus they fit it for free if you take your bike to them :)

Hi There,


Does anybody know if there is a north west region meet? If so when is it?


Cheers, Bri.

Maybe showing off just a little haha. You could always go for an aftermarket adjustable shock over the FZ1, but that all depends on your budget and what you are willing to do. I will give it a tweak and see how it fairs, but it has been fine for me so far, but then again I haven't pushed the bike with it being new and not run in.

Surely a better rear shock would only be of use if you exceed the potential of the standard one. My model has fully adjustable front a rear suspension, so could tweek it and see how it compares to the factory set up.

Blackpool Isn't too far away from me at all. All being well I will be able to go to the meet. I'll get some pics up when my replacement phone arrives.

I chose mine because mainly because I wanted to move off my Sv650, but also they dont make a 600 version anymore. Also I got a cracking deal on a 2014 model at Wigan Yamaha. Glad I went for the 800, lot more power and torque than my SV.

From what I can gather from doing research into the bike before I bought mine, the fazer 8/fz 8 is based on the 1000cc models but with the obvious narrower bore making it 779cc, also It has a lighter crank shaft, revised cam profiles and a slightly revised fuel mapping making the power delivery smoother and less edgy than the thou versions. As for sharing parts, I'd imagine they share a lot, as both bikes are very similar indeed.

Bri or brian is fine haha.


I am in west lancashire. What I like best, well, I can't just give one reason at the moment, plus I'm still getting used to it as I have only had it since monday and not clocked up many miles.

Hi,


I have recently purchased a 2014 fazer 8 so thought I'd join the club in the hope of getting to know more like minded people that share my huge interest in bikes.


Cheers, Brian.
