    FZ8 Has Landed Early in Oz

    $12,990 +orc naked $13,990 +orc faired It's here early! I'm waiting for this rain to subside so I can ride this baby! I expected higher pricing, so this isn't bad. It will all come down to the ride though of course :) (sorry for the dodgy phone camera image!)

    Michelin Power Pure 26/03/10

    I thought you guys may be interested in this. The suppliers have done some extended testing of the Pilot Pures and offered this response to the continued feedback of their poor handling. After weeks of set up I have finally worked out the right combination for the power pures to work...

    leo vince, power commander III,& bcm filter help

    Not sure if this helps but I had the same setup but with stock filter, and with either of the downloaded maps, the idle was only ever-so-slightly lumpy. It seemed to settle after a few days which is strange, but nothing I worried about. What kind of fluctuations are we talking - 100rpm or more?

    The Aussie Gear & Accessories review's & view's thread!

    If you guys are kevlar jeans shopping, I'm fairly sure Draggin are the only brand with the CE safety approval/rating. I went with the newer Chris Vermulen-endorsed ones :)

    Power Commander - PC Maps

    Just to reiterate about the Pures, it was my own experience on my FZ6 first and foremost, just mentioning that others are starting to trickle back into the store after having put some decent kms on them. The rep also echoed these sentiments and they are doing their own testing. I realise...

    Power Commander - PC Maps

    Never been, so obviously quite ignorant of the market there. I didn't realise it was to this extent.

    Power Commander - PC Maps

    Front sprocket, ask if they sell JT sprockets (nice and cheap), should be no more than $25. Importer of LeoVince is Wayne Gardiner Importers. But I purchased them through Bikebiz, just that I can personally be speaking to the rep. I think the RRP of the carbons were $1600 or something crazy...

    Power Commander - PC Maps

    Hey bud. I get them from wherever it's cheapest :) because I'm cheap. Ha but it's the truth. I wanted ASV levers but couldn't afford RRP so found one side for sale on this forum, and bout the other side new. Got my fender extender from ebay. Rest of the stuff I bought through work because the...

    Power Commander - PC Maps

    I think a dyno session with custom map is around the $330-mark, and power runs from $55 (ie so at least you can make a call at the early stage to see if you want to proceed with the custom map). With the spark arrestor, keep in mind now that I drilled mine to buggery to get the sound just...

    Sorry, I've defected but ...

    No need to apologise, the Shiver has one monster of a motor. They're so under-rated here. Good work. If you run out of mods to do (there's prob not a lot you need to on them), then this should provide you some inspiration!

    Leo Vince Install

    Do yourself a favour and splurge on a Power Commander. It's the icing on the cake for the Leos. Other than that, can't think what it could be. You did the right thing with the battery.....

    What to replace my Fz6 with - Maybe this

    Ha you took my words Wolf, they are HUGE! Not that that's always a bad thing, just that it's no FZ. It's a whole different type of riding. Your corner speed ability would be dramatically diminished :) although you could make it up down the straight bits. If it's your cuppa tea though, it sure...

    So a police officer almost killed me tonight.

    I would have been throwing the verbal abuse at him after something like that. I'm surprised you kept your cool! What a goose. Serving the citizens? I think not.

    Power Commander - PC Maps

    We've just finished the dyno run and custom map on my bike. A video link will follow which runs through exactly how it's done (give me a few days!). What was interesting is that my previous setup with the Dynojet map for my bike setup was 3hp down on the custom map we ended up with. Their...

    Air Injection System (AIS) removal - quick ?'s

    I'm certain. Due to my research and what I read on the forums, I expected zero performance gain. Just the removal of the popping. But it's immediately noticeable to me that it reacts quicker from off to on. I go for my dyno tomorrow, can't wait :)

    Regular petrol

    Sometimes putting a higher octane fuel 'with additives' can be detrimental. For example the Shell Optimax 98 in Oz can foul plugs in certain circumstances.

    Regular petrol

    Not unless it's pinging I wouldn't think..... don't think the compression on the FZ6 is high enough to be an issue imo. I run 91 octane.

    Air Injection System (AIS) removal - quick ?'s

    Nice. I went for the cheap 'plug the tube' method, leaving the rest intact. Great for warranty reasons :) I wanted to add, because no one seems to have said it, that I believe it also adds to the performance of the bike as well as reducing popping. What I mean is that previously, the bike would...

    Question of the Day #297 (9/7/10)

    Ha I was thinking more along the lines of A Fart, although it fails the second one....
