Thanks fellas. All fixed up. Must have been an air bubble. Drained, refilled it SLOWLY ...ran through several fan cycles. Beauty! Throttle body sync left then I can button her up and wait for warmer weather! You guys rock!

I would imagine the space between those 2 bolts are the same, but if you can measure yours, I can tell you for sure. This is on my 08 Gen II. I am planning on re-centering the USB cutouts as well so that they are not that close to the edge of the bracket.

I drew this up and my brother cut on his CNC. This is the prototype for a limited production run, if there is any interest. Final products will be waterjet cut rather than CNC, and from slightly thicker stock. This is 1/8" 6061 aluminum. What are your thoughts? CC appreciated.

Thanks for the help. I did the plugs when I did the valve check, just makes sense. Turns out it was a good idea, gaps were all way bigger than they should have been. It's a snow day here is SW Ontario, so I will be working on it later on. Hopefully this is an easy fix. I appreciate all the...

Nope, fortunately, all valve clearances were good. :)

Roughly, but I didn't measure it before I dumped it.

Air bubble is a possibility for sure, I didn't take the thermostat out, just dumped the coolant so I could remove the tube that goes over the valve cover.

As the title says... I just finished the valve checks and once I had it all back together, I topped the coolant back up and filled the overflow bottle. Ran it until the fans came on, and expected the temp to drop once they kicked in. Temp kept climbing and once it hit the top bar, I shut the...

I searched PAIR and Block off plates but didn't see the answer to this, so hopefully it doesn't end up in NEPR. I'm going to be installing block off plates for my PAIR system as I go through this valve check process. Can anyone tell me what the gasket looks like for these? I haven't pulled...

Well, for example, I can see on my Ontario UVIP that the bike was imported by a local dealer, and then I called that dealer and got the service records they have for this bike. Also, if the bike was ever branded in another jurisdiction, it would show up in the vehicle history report. It would...

Thanks for the answers folks. It's not the answer I was looking for, but at least I know....that I'll never know. :)

As the title states, I have a 2008 FJR, previously registered in California, now registered in Ontario, Canada. The Ontario Used Vehicle Information Package tells me all the registered owners since it was imported. Is there a way to see how many owners it had while registered in California...

I traded my M109R for my 08 FJR. 18,000 miles later, I am thinking I robbed the guy I traded with. What a great machine. I averaged around 5000 kms a year on the big Suzi. I have taken the Feej all over northern Ontario, Michigan, NY, Vermont, NH, & MA. Thanks for all the great advice...

I just fitted these tires yesterday. I got 13,000 miles out of my Storm 3D's, so hoping for something similar from these. Mileage reports to follow.

Rolled over 70k miles this morning on the way to work. Hope to see 80k this summer as well.

I picked up this '08 at the end of the 2016 riding season. Put about 1000 miles on it that year. Last year was my first full year with her. 6055 miles. I'm hoping for 10k this year. I remember when I got this bike some member on here mentioned that I would blast through the annual mileage...

Ummm. do you not have snow removal equipment?

Weather is iffy, I'm going anyway, probably around 3PM or so. I'd say I'd see some of you there, but there will be a bajillion bikes there, so I probably won't. If yer goin', have fun. Shiny side up!
