Fazer8 / FZ8 / Re: Fitting a Yamaha rack
« on: 23 April 2017, 10:28:02 am »
Thanks kent62 and Slappy for the info. That helps and having looked under the plastic cowling I now see the cut outs. That's great I'll get on with it and see how it works out. Cheers.


Yes I recall having to cut out some of the rear tail fairing to fit my rack.  I wrote to Yamaha to complain about this.  So sad that the bike had not been designed for it in the first place.  I just kept on taking small amounts at a time and offering up the rack.  Pure trial and error.  In the end I took a little too much out but hey it worked in the end and 4 years later I couldn't really  care less.  The box has been so useful though.

General / MT-09 Pro's and Cons

Hope the Mods don't mind me asking a few questions about the reasonably priced MT-09 as I have regularly considered it to be a natural next bike. 


My concerns are from looking at youtube reviews:


1) Fueling.  Has the juddery throttle response been resolved? The fuelling on my Fazer 8 has been perfect.  On my last bike, a CBF600SA (2009) it was dreadful.


2) Do you need to re-flash the ECU to get max power out of the engine?  Some reckon it would barely top 120mph.  By contrast there is a speed test of a guy on a FZ8 o youtube clocking 252km/h.  Unfaired version too.


Any thoughts?
