    What kind of fuse used on FJR?

    What kind of fuses used on the 2014 FJR? Are they the standard ATO blade fuses or the mini fuses or...? I like to get some to carry in my toolbox under the seat. Thanks!

    Where to buy SAE connectors?

    Great suggestion! Saw that they have a 'watt meter' that can measure almost everything. I may get one.

    Where to buy SAE connectors?

    Just ordered some Powerpole connectors to play with. From reading on the web, they look truly solid and awesome to build any kind of cables and adapters! They can be stacked, locked together to form single wire, 1 pair, 2 pairs, 3 pairs etc... and I can use almost any gauge wire with them as...

    Where to buy SAE connectors?

    Thank you! I didn't know they exist. After reading about the connectors, it looks like they are much better and are available in every configuration possible. I'll order some to play with. -mike-

    Where to buy SAE connectors?

    Now it's back! Thanks to your link, I saw there is another one on that same page that has 10 gauge wire (for less $ too): https://www.amazon.com/CES-Gauge-Quick-Disconnect-Harness/dp/B0057ZQJ12/ref=lh_ni_t?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A15TP87GWKFZSB mike-

    Where to buy SAE connectors?

    Thank you ! That's good to know. I guess I'll leave it as is. It's not like I need to run the pump everyday :-)

    Where to buy SAE connectors?

    Don't need to apologize, Lonerider. I appreciate your help. It happened to me all the time on Amazon even after I added an item to my cart without checking out and when I turned around it was unavailable :-)

    Where to buy SAE connectors?

    Thanks but It's unavailable... Found a similar one on ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/SAE-2-Wire-Quick-Connect-Disconnect-12-Gauge-Weatherproof-Heavy-Duty-Plug-Ends-/221309728018 Thanks. Yes I know there are millions of links popped up but no SAE connector by itself. At least I did not see...

    Where to buy SAE connectors?

    I guess I have too many questions and I apologize - I just wired a SAE pig tail to the battery and it has 18 gauge wires. Can it run my Slime air compressor that requires 15A? Yes I do have a 15A fuse on the SAE wire. I did search for the current capacity of 18 AWG for DC 12V and some tables...

    Russel seat height quick question...

    Thanks for the inputs. How tall are you? I assume you have the standard touring model' seat? I think it's time for me to do a ride-in to get my seat :-)

    Russel seat height quick question...

    It looks like you are the only one who got a 'sport model' :-) That's what I'm leaning to. I'm wondering how is the comfort level between the 2 (touring vs sport)?

    Tire Valve Stem Replacement Intervals

    Thanks Twigg! I do know about Loctite eats plastic but I also read here that people putting Loctite when they install the 90-deg valve stem? Some metal stems even came with Loctite precoated?

    Tire Valve Stem Replacement Intervals

    I think I'm going to install these in my next tyre change. I just checked it out and it said : "Tighten first locking nut to 2.25Nm (20in-lb) to 4.5Nm (40in-lb), then attach second nut to double lock valve stem on motorcycle." Does it mean you tighten it to 20 in-lb, then tighten the same nut...

    Garauld Hiway Peg Mounting Plates

    I wish I knew the options when I ordered from you. I didn't like the other pegs I got from you. It's slippery and it has this little hook at the end that's absolute useless. I guess I'll grind it away with my dremel.

    Y.E.S warranty question
