Thanks for the warm welcome guys! To those wondering why I switched, my girlfriend wanted to buy a bike and learn to ride so I told her I'd sell her mine and I'll get a new one so she wouldn't have to worry about dropping a new bike since mine had been dropped a couple times. I love the FZ8 so far but the only complaint I have is the break in period haha I'm ready to get past it so I can really see what she's got!! Also, I got a good deal!

Forget that engien brake in bull shit. Those engines are already run in at the factory. Change the oil at 400, and then 1000. Ride the piss out of it, do some hard pulls and some hard engine braking, do not keep it at a steady rpm on the highway for long periods. Have fun!!!!!! www.mototuneusa.com/break_in_secrets.htmDJ

Yep, I put a light 50 miles on it while your getting used to it. Then ride the absolute fuck out of it.
If there's a issue doesn't matter how easy you are on it during break I. Period, if it's gonna break it will no matter what

Looks like I need to screw the break in haha which is fine with me. I don't know what I'm worried about anyways I got the extended warranty with it. Thanks for the advice guys!

Just flush the oil often. Get three regular oil and filter changes in before 1000 miles, switch to Mobil 1, and beat the crap out of it
