I have seen at least 3 failures of the rear shock lower relay arm scraping the lower shock supports & bending then cracking. Mine looks like its starting to rub with only 700mi on the odometer. If you go on the fz8 forum there are photos you can observe. Yamaha should address this problem before someone gets hurt or killed.
