Fazer8 / FZ8 / Fitting a Yamaha rack
« on: 13 February 2017, 04:33:15 pm »
I've bought a Yamaha rack for the fazer 8. Has anyone fitted one before? Just trying to figure out how much of the plastic to cut out and what's the best way of doing it. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Fazer8 / FZ8 / Fazer 8 again
« on: 10 December 2016, 07:30:14 pm »
i sold my 12 plate blue fazer 8 about 18 months and only realised now just what a good bike it had been to me. I traded it in and another local bike shop took it and sold it in their shop instead. I was never going to be happy until I got it back so took it for a test ride and it put a great smile on my face. I pick it up next week.
I issue I have is going into corners I feel the front wants to tuck in. Is this normal for the 8 or is it the tyres. I am thinking of changing them for PR3's. any thoughts on tyre change?  :rolleyes

Fazer8 / FZ8 / Charging the battery
« on: 14 January 2014, 07:29:11 pm »
I was going to charge up my battery for the FZ8 to top it up over the winter months but I decided to read the owners manual first of all.  It said that the battery is a Valve Regulated Lead Acid battery and that a special (constant voltage) battery charger is required. Using a conventional battery charger will damage the battery. I've got an normal optimate charger that I've used on the other bikes that I've had. Does this mean that I can't use my optimate charger on the Fazer battery? :\

Fazer8 / FZ8 / First service
« on: 27 August 2013, 07:47:10 am »
I've just reached 600 miles on the bike and am thinking about carrying out the first service myself. Is it just a case of changing the oil and filter and checking the chain tension or is there other things I should be looking at as well. Not really wanting to stick it in to a local dealership if i can do that myself.

Fazer8 / FZ8 / Lovely bike but seat is killing me.
« on: 19 July 2013, 09:41:37 pm »
Hi,
Just received my Fazer8 yesterday and decided to get some miles on the bike. I really love it, it's put the fun back into biking for me.
But, I did 200 miles today and 2 issues appeared. My bum was killing me after about 60 miles and I got a vibration from the right
handlebar for most of the day but more obvious at about 70mph.
Is this an issue or is it just me? Any remedies to take the pain away?
