Alright guys...I have to sell this helmet. I'm getting sporatic lame inquiries from craiglist and wanted to post it up here before I hit Fleabay. Here's the skinny on it: Looking for $250.00 + shipping, other reasonable offers may be considered based on demand. It's medium, matte black, and has...

I don't have time to deal with this right now...it's still available but I have much bigger fish to fry so I guess just forget it, it's no longer available. My riding career may be over soon anyway so I don't really care much. Sorry guys...

No...it's still available.

PM me and we'll talk, I can do that. .

I'm selling a Gen II Genuine Yamaha Comfort Seat (the gel seat) for $120. It's in great condition and is a major upgrade from the stock seat. I take PayPal and it's ready to go.

Yea that's what I'm thinking....from now on. So the bike will get a new set of plugs a tad early, fresh coolant, and I noticed some increased buzzing around 5K so a TB sync. The rest is cake...and I'll be less inclined to touch the plugs for atleast 8K from here on out. Thanks for everyone's...

Sorry for the repost if you're on the "other" board but I'm lookin' for a big audience to hear what other FZ owners are doing. This is the first Yamaha head scratcher for me... Ok, so I bought my '08 back in December of '09 and am finally hitting 5K. I had to adjust the clock after a battery...

Buy a stitch jacket. I make a run down to Laguna every year from WA state and we hit triple digits for a few days on the way down. I have underarmour with mesh shorts on under a stitch 2 piece and a camelbak. I'm completely comfy upto a bout 95 and then as long as I'm moving it's reasonable. The...

FYI...you can see my post on getting a kinked line from the factory when I bought her new. The line is supposed to move to prevent kinking..so if you don't make sure it's not binding up it'll kink after repeated tank raises. Many modern Fi bikes have lines like that...I personally think the line...

Welcome...I live right down the street from you in Woodinville and bought mine locally @Ride motorsports over the winter, got a smokin' deal. I have an '08 as well..see ya around.

Looking to get rid of my Puig Touring Windscreen for $85 to your door. I've had it since the beginning of April and it's in great condition. The screen just doesn't work for me @5' 7", if I was taller or shorter I think it'd work just fine Anyway...ping me if interested.

Lookin' for a Gen II smoked Laminar Lip....let me know if you want to get rid of one.

I did it...just cut off the snorkel pretty much just like Lars's docs. I left the stock filter alone and didn't move cables. I started it and it sounded a bit better...not too throaty but less like a sewing machine and more like a motorcycle. I'll ride it tomorrow for a better idea of any...

Screw it...I'm doing it. I'm ripping the bike apart to put a Powerlet in the dash anyway so I may as well just pull the air box and get er done. I'll report back....she's bone stock and staying that way minus some air box plastic for now ;) Not time yet for perf mods...

Oh come on...don't take it personally, just personal opinion all based on experience from multiple bikes and other people as well. I think you gotta put all the factors in this to really show if stock and aftermarket make a difference. If the snorkel/airbox is totally restrictive then changing...
