+100 ^^^^. I'd mix it at 2-3x's the recommended amount for at least one tank. It won't hurt anything and works really, really well... I run it (normal amount) in every gas engine machine I own.

Not mentioned yet is do a leak down test on each cylinder before any tear down. That'll give you a very good idea of the health of the engine internally. The glazing of of the cylinders are a result of improper break in, IE, way too easy, low RPM's, etc when the bike was new. And all that is...

9-30-77 a Ford station wagon (driven by an old man) turned left in front of me. (I remember a block away to this day). I was on an RD 350, (19 years old, coming home from college) and was wearing a 3/4 helmet. I hit his car (probably doing 30-35 MPH) in the rt, rear door. My jaw hit the "drip...

The R6 has to be wound up to get it in the HP range. I have an '07 FZ6 (slightly de-tuned R6 engine) which will get it, but also needs to be wound up. I can get to 90MPH in second gear at red line(14K), but the FJR has more torque. With bags off the FJR, it's really going to depend on the...

Just to add, DO NOT hook up your jumper cables to a RUNNING CAR, that'll likely cook you VR...

Plus one with WOT but not just once... Hold it open for several sec's, cranking, stop. Repeat, should crank up.

+ 1 on the risers. I had them on my FJR and those (1.25" as I re-call) made a world of difference...

Not good, Do you have or tried Grip puppies? IMO, a bit more comfy (as their thicker) and easier to hold on to. Also maybe trying the Olympia, leather gloves with gel inside the palms. I have both on my FZ (more buzzier than the FJR) and I don't have any issues (mental maybe...)

What i really like about this set up, is you can't bump into them and accidentally knock them off/down... When I had my 04, I never rode with them, except on a road trip. I could definitely feel the weight of the bags when on the bag and for around town, I preferred not to have them on...And...

Depending on where you ride in the RPM range, especially low, there should/ could be some improvment. Now that all cylinders are pulling equally.. As noted earlier, once you past 4-5K, the TB's are open and it won't make much if any difference..

As of 5-21-16, Yamaha changed part #'s for the correct lock assembly. This part # WILL work with your key: 4R8-21308-01-00

As I re-call the adjuster for the idle is on the left side, kind of a star shaped screw (phillips head). IMO, I'd probably leave it at 1,000, a little less first gear clunk and a tad more engine braking. That cable adjustment is for the actual play in the throttle. I like to have mine as...

Wow, they were out a bunch. When you do them again, check and re-adjust at a steady 4k RPM. You'll likely find one out a bit. Bring that one back into line and you can get a happy medium at idle and 4k. That will help with vibs, especially in the lower RPM's. I put a large fan in front of...

I found your product on Pirates Lair BMW monthly news letter. Thought it was a neat product, there's obviously some other good idea's here as well....

I found this on another site, looks pretty slick for those not riding with the cases https://www.bullrack.com/

I changed out the oem plugs out at about 12,000 miles with iridiums on my FZ. They had a nice color to them, no issues and replaced with iridiums. I really didn't feel any change between the two (even with 12K on the old ones), but the engine always ran great.

LOL!!!!!!!

I missed the pre-payment for the '03 model by a week. Put my $500 down for the '04 model and had to wait a year (before even seeing it in person-Just pic's). It was a long year............

Any bike with a loose battery terminal will cause all kinds of weird come and go issues... A spot of locktite on the bolts would help keep that from happening again.. Then dielectric grease it..

The above, new lock part #, that fits the FJR key is confirmed by two customers as GOOD. The previous part # definitely does NOT fit anymore (opposite key offset). I also gave a heads up to Partzilla about it, as they were already running out of that lock assembly. So Yamaha part #...
