Fazer8 / FZ8 / Sprocket ratio
« on: 24 May 2020, 11:32:04 pm »
Hello all.


Standard FZ8n sprocket setup is 16 front 46 rear.


Has anybody tinkered with different sprockets? 


Im looking to increase fuel efficiency and i understand that either adding teeth to the front or removing teeth from the rear is the way to reduce the ratio. This lowers acceleration / torque which you gain back top end.


My concern is if i add one tooth to the front and remove one from the rear how will this effect the number of links required in the chain?


I have a feeling i may have to adjust the wheelbase adjuster

Fazer8 / FZ8 / FZ8 lower bars
« on: 15 April 2017, 11:14:43 am »
Hello,


Test rode an 8 last week and was left smitten. Had my Ducati S2R 1000 stolen so in the market for another bike. The 8 is similar ergos to the monster but obviously power delivery is very different being an i4 but I liked it, very smooth and easy to ride fast which I like.


One thing I picked up on was the standard bars seem to come upwards at the ends which took some getting used to. Ducati use magura bars which have a flatter profile and they were perfect for my reach and comfort and lean you forward a little more which is what I'd like on the 8.


My question is could I use magura on the 8 ? The centre clamping area of the Maguras are 28mm so I imagine it's whether there is suitable clamps that the 8 can accommodate ?


Has anyone fitted a lower profile bar on your 8 and if so what bar / clamps did you use.


Thanks in advance
