Apparently "Powerlet" went under (was notified by a customer). I was directed to "Warm and safe": https://www.warmnsafe.com/collections/accessories-cables/products/bmw-socket-with-spring-cap There's no spec's (what size hole it takes), I tried calling, no answer... It appears to be identical...

15% is the general limit, then time to tear down. 25% IS not acceptable. Where is your leakage going? Thru the exhaust (exhaust valves), crankcase, etc. THAT, will eliminate most of the guessing... 5% on #2 is what I'd expect / normal... It's possible the excess fuel (at the time of...

The leak down test will / should show any issues(especially carbon build up with leakage audible). If the header and TB's are off now, leave them off until the test is done. Just easier to hear leakage. As the injector for that cylinder was not leaking (later), is it all possible the fluid was...

A bent valve, not closing fully would open up those clearances... That's why I asked about leak down #'s..

Just an FYI, a "shock dose" for Ring Free is 2 OZ / 1 Gallon of fuel... As the larger clearances are ALL on the exhaust side, it'd have to be carbon build up. What were the leak-down #'s?

Jerry at Pirates Lair sells my "helmet lock brackets" for various BMWs (similar design as the FJR). I've known and worked with him since 2004, great guy, stands behind his products. The pic of the 2007 bike: https://pirateslair.net/YamahaStealth.htm was my friends FJR. We did the final review...

On my FZ6 (Faired), the battery is centered under the fuel tank. Pictured below, I wound up the "octopus" fairly tightly and zip tied inside the fairing (under the side flat panels). I too just ran the speaker cord around the front of the fairing coming out on the left side of the fairing. As...

That little plastic washer can be made out of an old milk bottle (they do tend to tear up with numerous R&Rs). "Paper punch tool" to punch out the center, put the bolt thru, trim around the bolt with scissors to the edge. Works great..

I have noticed, when there is an update, my 590 (and my 2350-SUV), start acting "strange". "Strange" in that names of streets DON'T LOAD as normal. Their blank... Plug into the computer, make sure I have the latest version of the "Garmin program", then update. It's rare it takes more than an...

Sounds normal now. I gather you manipulated the cap to see if it was broke all the way thru?

If the bike sat for awhile, the pressure would have dropped(normal). When you initially turn the key on, (as you posted) you should have the pump whine as it pressurizes. If you hear a klunk, or any other unusual noise, the pump is likely toast. The FZ6 uses a very similar pump and yes, folks...

Partzilla and Boats.net are the same as noted above. They also have another web site (same company) that sells other parts(mowers, generators, etc). I just ordered a new carburetor for a customers Honda lawn mower engine yesterday (and they were a bit cheaper than everyone else). If you know...

Plus 1 ^^^. The 4R8-21308-01-00 is a genuine Yamaha Part # with the correct "key offset". Other Yamaha locks may have the opposite offset (but the exterior is the same) The Helmet Guardians, you have a 50/50 chance of getting the correct offset.. And thanks to all that took advantage of the...

That corrosion you also have/had was my issue (still under warranty) years gone back. The dealer couldn't find the issue(nor could Mama Yamaha in Ca). It was a common issue back then and the fix was found here back here in 2004/2005. I knew immediately as soon as I rolled into the street it ran...

Plus1^^. The 04 model had a re-call for the TPS. Possibly your issue, but it can cause major running issues. It's a free replacement if not already done. Also, check under the fuel tank. There's a large connecter that would collect water and the connectors would turn green with corrosion. For...

Ten days left on this shipping offer. The next offer won't be until spring 2018. Thanks and ride safe guys. Scott

A 1 amp fuse is super light...(stereo or GPS light).. There's apparently a typo in the manual You may want to re-check that, a 10 amp fuse sounds more like it.. (BTW, just a touch of some loctite on the battery terminal bolts will prevent further issues with it loosening).. My tail light...

Even with open Scorps, in the garage, you can't hear the fuel pump(was recording for a voltage record): https://www.flickr.com/photos/147134237@N06/29303851750/ .
