Hey Adam, I'm glad the operation went well. Best of luck on your recovery. EricR

Thanks for all the replies. Guess I'll clean/lube/reinstall... For the record, here is G2's response to my email inquiry... Lubing the throttle tube is a personal preference. If I were to lube the tube I would use a spray on graphite that dry's but some people use a real light film of...

Here is the response from G2... Lubing the throttle tube is a personal preference. If I were to lube the tube I would use a spray on graphite that dry's but some people use a real light film of grease. EricR

Question for the folks that have installed the G2 throttle tube... Did y'all apply any sort of grease/lube to the bar or inside of the G2 throttle tube? I don't expect it to impact the ridability of the bike, but I can hear and feel a bit of metal-on-metal when I turn the throttle. Thanks, EricR

Hi Tom, I was wondering the same thing. I emailed G2 this morning to see what they recommend. I'll post something if/when they reply. EricR

Get well soon Adam! Praying for a quick recovery. Squid, thanks for keeping us posted. EricR

Painman, Thanks for the reply. I ended up going a slightly different route. I eliminated the nylon and metal spacers altogether. I replaced them with a single nylon spacer about the size/thickness of four stacked 6mm flat washers. On my installation, that places the bar end very close to...

Painman, Did you resolve the binding issue when attempting to install the bar end? I'm having the same problem on my install. Looks like the new throttle tube is contacting the white nylon spacer and binding when the bar end is tightened down. Thanks, EricR

Thanks for the details. I'll try to make the Love's gas station by 11, but I'm not sure how long my prior commit will take. Don't wait on me... I know where the Koffee Kup is, and I've printed your directions, so I'll meet you at the restaurant if I'm running late. EricR

Are y'all still planning to ride Saturday? Details? EricR

I've got a prior commit early Saturday morning. May try and catch up with y'all depending on which direction you decide to ride. EricR

For those meeting in Plano on Friday morning.... - Shell station is near the southeast corner of Legacy Dr & US75 (aka Central Expressway) - I believe current plan is to meet at 9:30 - Legacy Drive is Exit #32 (coming northbound from 75) - You are gonna be on the access road for a few...

Tim, There are several hotels within a couple of miles of the meeting place along the access road. To the south, roughly between 15th St and Parker Rd there is Super8, La Quinta, Ramada, and Motel6. To the north, roughly between Bethany and Allen Dr is Hilton Garden Inn, Amerihost Inn, and...

There is a Shell station, with convenience store, on the southeast corner of Legacy Dr & 75 in Plano. If you are coming northbound on 75, take the Legacy Dr exit. Go to the stop light and make a right. The Shell station is on the corner, but the entrance is on Legacy. Tim, there are...

Great to meet y'all, too. Looking forward to Arkansas! EricR

Thinking about making the drive over. Don't know what any of y'all look like, so what should I look for once inside F&H? Thanks, EricR

Thanks Mike! Regards, EricR

The air chuck on the Cycle Pump isn't the typical 90-degree style. Any trouble connecting the Cycle Pump to the valve stem on the FJR? Thanks, EricR

I think relays come in "normally open" and "normally closed" varieties. For this app, I believe you want a "normally open" relay which closes (completes the circuit) when 12v is applied to the control pin. Is it possible you've got a "normally closed" relay which is breaking the connection...
