    Building a motorcycle lift... anyone????

    I put a lot of trust in my 1500lb hydraulic lift, mostly because of what I've been able to do with it. Mine's a Craftsman, but looks a lot like that HF one. I usually don't keep both wheels lifted at the same time. I like the added stability of two grounding points, but nonetheless, it is a...

    NGK Irridium; Where and what

    I bought mine from Advance. They were $29.34 (includes 5% VA Tax) for the four of them. Advance doesn't normally stock them, however, I was assured they could get them by 8AM the next morning. They met that deadline and I was a happy camper. For the anti-ridium crowd, I tried the bike shop...

    Jerkiness

    For what it's worth....: My 08 is horribly jerky. When connected to a Carbtune, I noticed that during the off idle jerk, cylinder #1 took a huge dive where as the other 3 stayed pretty constant. I found that I could completely eliminate the jerkiness if I sent Cylinder #1 sky high with...

    RIder keeps dropping their bike.

    Was this a problem during the safety course? If not, perhaps some lowering links would help things. At least until confidence is built up.

    Met Vamirr and took a ride

    Yeah, I wish I had packed my camera. You know, I took the wife down to Dorris and Rogers the weekend after for breakfast. It was a hit.

    TBS Issue: Can't go highter on Cyl 2

    Hey, I'm in the middle of my 16K mile service and am doing a TBS. Cyl 3 was low, and I've adjusted it to meet the 250 mm Hg factory spec. When getting the other cylinders to match it, I can't go any higher on the air screw for Cylinder 2. Increasing idle helped a little bit, but I've now...

    Random FJR fact of the day

    The 24 pack cubes fit one per bag while using the straps. Looks like the bag was made for it. Unloading those at work makes for plenty of commentary too.

    Fieldsheer riding gear?

    I've purchased 3 Fieldsheer pieces. They've got my vote. Fit and quality is very good; their pricing is generally very attractive.

    Rear Suspension Bearings

    I took apart the rear suspension hoping to solve some rear wheel chatter I was experiencing during cornering. I figured I'd lube the bearings and go from there. The bearings looked good except the one attaching to the rear shock. There's a plastic/teflon like coating that seems to be shedding...

    Done Deal

    Not true, but I'm nitpicking. :P The guy at D&H told me if I had bought the YES when I got the bike (instead of the month before the first year ran out), I'd have gotten the towing reimbursement and travel and recreation interruption protection for the duration of the original one year...

    Clutch Replacement

    Actually, I did... because of this problem. I hadn't planned on it initially because the dealer wanted 700 dollars for it (called it "nation-wide pricing"....) This clutch problem hit and I called D&H while the bike was in the shop.
