I didn't know you were working that event! Were you a ride leader/an organizer/ or ?? The demo got me. I tested the FJR1300A (I signed up for an ES but somebody gave me an 'A' when my schedule time came). After I got home, I sent out a few emails soliciting OTD price and I went with Del Amo...

Thanks. How does this pin look like? Got any pic you can share?

I just ordered it from Gary too.

I see. It now looks too long...

Saw an adjustable one here: https://www.amazon.com/MOTORCYCLE-ADJUSTABLE-STEERING-WRENCH-PP2649/dp/B004MZNP5Q Looks like it can be used with a torque wrench too.

Thank you for the link! Excellent! I searched but did not see the one you posted! From a link on that page (https://www.freeinfostuff.com/TorqueExtension/TorqueExtension.htm), I plugged in some numbers and even with variation of the torque wrench angle to +- 10 degree (from 90 degrees) the...

Thanks! Is it as good and as accurate as the socket type? How much will it off by having the torque wrench a few degrees left or right when using the hook type? I think I need to dig out my old physics books :-)

To be able to live close to the place of work truly releases lots of stresses. My round trip commute to/from work is 50 miles and it takes at least 2 hours per day of commute in car (or 80 minutes on bike.)

Thank you for mentioning the Tomtom. I didn't know. I like the reviews. May get one now.

I believe that's Gary who was referred here earlier. I emailed him from the email addr posted and he sent me that same picture. I'm still trying to locate a socket. Mike <blockquote class='ipsBlockquote'data-author="FJR30FAN" data-cid="1166531" data-time="1407158577"><p&gt...

Thank you so much for your help. I like to try to get the socket tool first as it's just easier mot more accurate to use. I'll email Gary. Will keep you posted.. Mike

Thank you Sir! Appreciate the info. I will reach 600 miles in a couple of weeks as it's just daily commute to/from work...(the long trip will be another month) Have been enjoying every minute I'm on the FJR! mike-

Where can I buy a steering bearing socket to check the steering torque. I like the one that looks like this:

Thanks! Will order one.

I guess I can make one from the mud flap in autopart store...

Because Yamaha thought that the non-electronics shock not worth being protected? Got it

Thank you RaYzerman19, I do have several different oil filter wrenches but it seems only the cup shape will work for the FJR (if the fairing is not removed) because of lack of clearance to the side? I'll probably need to get a thinner cup shape wrench. The one in the picture is adjustable cup...

I just noticed that there seemed to be the mounting holes for a mud flap in front of the rear wheel to protect the shock but it's not there. Do other 2014 have it or is this something I need to order? Thanks.

Here is the filter wrench I have been using on the Honda but it doesn't fit the space of the FJR (unless the lower fairing is removed.) The size fits, just that the clearance doesn't. I'll get a filter cup.

Thank you! :-)
