Great insight, thank you. I did forget to mention the throttle body sync, that was indeed done. As far as the TPS, that is over my head, but I will ask my buddy about that possibility.

Let me assure everyone here that "the heavy wrist" factor is not the culprit here. Although I am not old by any standards (38), I have logged well into 6 figure mileage (200,000+ miles) on a street bike in my life and lapped many a racetrack as well. I am completely aware of how I am riding at...

I calculate MPG the old fashioned way. Total miles / gallons = MPG. I definitely don't think that the new tire would make a noticeable difference. The old tire was a Bridgestone 120/70 and the new tire is a Bridgestone 120/70. Now that I think of it, I dont think our bikes calculate off the...

score is one to one then.........the plot thickens?

Pretty much exactly what I said above: "And as far as being throttle happy, I am sure that is not the case. I ride a lot and am quite aware when I am riding out of my normal commuting tendencies. Plus I have mad a point the past 4 tanks to be consistent once I figured out my gas mileage was down...

That is why I love this forum, people are on top of things! To answer your VERY valid questions, the coincidence factor did cross my mind as far as the switch for "non summer" gas as California loves to have a reason to charge more. With that said, I thought that your gas mileage increased with...

Interesting, I did not have a high idle issue after install. I was wondering if the 02 sensors might have something to do with it as well. If these iridium plugs burn that much more efficiently than standard plugs, then the 02 sensors will tell the ECU to pump in more fuel which in turn would...

OK, I need a bit of help here, as I am perplexed to find that my gas mileage has decreased about 10% since a major service I just had done. I was getting 42-43 mpg religiously and now it dropped to 38-39 mpg. Spark plugs will original equipment and this was the first valve adjustment. My buddy...

I am looking to know who have parked a motorcycle at SD intl airport. Can you part at the terminals free of charge, just pass through the gates? Any info is appreciated.

Hello everyone! I have an awesome condo available for the MotoGP Laguna weekend. My buddy and I have stayed here for the past decade (WSB prior to MotoGP) and it is the only way to go. I had a friend that claimed our second unit, but he had an accident and will not be able to attend. If you are...

Hi Don, You need to double check, but I believe that the 06 and up use an H4 bulb as well. This is the exact description of the kit I got on their website www.sharphid.com: Apexcone 35w and 55w hi/lo bi-xenon HID kits - Lifetime I purchased the H4 Hi/Lo bulbs in 5000K color. Go to...

Thanks.......

Yeah.....this is why I ask. I found them for $186 a set shipped (120/70 front and 180/55 rear). I had problems with headshake on my old FJR using non bridgestone tires and this is why I figured I would ask the experts here at FJRforum. I know that D220's are older tires, that does not worry me...

Have you caught the Supersport race from Fontana yet? Poor Haydens! Last week Roger gets taken out and this week Tommy gets taken out in a really nasty crash that saw Cardenas enter the corner with what seemed to me NO BRAKES! I hope they both heal up well and soon, its just one of those things...

I am curious who is and or has run Dunlop D220 tires. How did you like them, how was the mileage, you get the drift. thanks in advance!

I second that.......

John over at Sharp HID's. www.sharphid.com He is super helpful. They are not cheap, but I am sick of the cheap kits myself. The kit is $240.00 and that includes shipping. The one I got is: Apexcone 35w and 55w hi/lo bi-xenon HID kits - Lifetime Warranty!

I purchased the Sharp HID H4 Hi/Low kit from Sharp HID. This is a really nice kit and looks of great quality. The ballasts are amazingly thin and fairly easy to get mounted within the relatively small space of a 2004 FJR1300 cockpit. Install was pretty easy and I found space for all the wiring...

Thanks for that! I made the picture bigger just for you! :)

Just wanted to hear from those that ride Ortega highway about the condition of the road. I rode Ortega highway ALL the time for the better part of 10 years (1992-2002). Now that I have another street machine, I want to take a stroll up there. I know there is a ton of construction going on and do...
