A friend wants me to go with her. She's a cruiser rider so if I do go, I'll be riding very slowly. But getting excellent gas mileage. Hey VF you could bring the ZX :)

Yeah, my advice is to come over here, and practice on mine. It might take a couple of practices to get to the point of being confident to do your own. I'll supply the soap, bucket, mit and water. B)

Super, thanks pending.

'05 ABS caliper to fork bolt torque value? I can't find where I wrote it down. Thanks

I've bought from Casporttouring many times, never had a single problem. I heard that they did have a problem with some orders right after they switched their software, but that was a while back. IIRC I even got an e-mail from them explaining what happened. My carb tune shipped was around $20...

You're probably correct. There are several brands of radiator epoxy on the market available at your local auto parts store. But for only $35 to fix it, guaranteed to not leak, I'm okay with that. Many factory aluminum rads actually have epoxy joints to strengthen up the joints and not allow any...

Well I tried to find out what he used. He was tight lipped and wouldn't divulge the brand he uses. He did say it was a two part, and not available to consumers. I used to deal with chemical companies and I know that there are many commercial applications that are not available to the general...

Speaking of potatoes...... I just wrap two potatoes in foil, put them under the fairing, and at the end of the day I have baked potatoes with my dinner! :bleh: FWIW, I'm doing the heat mods on mine as well. Doesn't really bother me, but I have it all apart, I might as well.

And some people add a bottle of blue STP to top it off. I really like the way the bike shifts with the Rotella/STP mix. No clutch issues at all, either. :thumbup:

Yep mine are at 7K and are starting to get squirrelly. Wear is good, but I'm not going out looking for big puddles, for sure. I'll get another month or so out of them commuting. I had them on my FJ and didn't notice the squirm either. I did notice a tendency for the bike to fall into the...

I'll use the jokers..... :D BTW they are using epoxy to seal it up. Can't solder aluminum. So JB weld it is afterall. Or something to that effect. The man says he does this all the time to bike rads and has never had a come back. So either it puked all the coolant over the rear tire and the...

Rad is out, afer removing the side fairings, battery and all the hoses. Not hard, just what seems like a thousand bolts to remove. The coolant shoots out of the drain plug about three feet when you undo the radiator cap..... :bigeyes: I had the rad dropped of at the rad shop today, and I...

So did they bust that myth or is it for real?

Yep, if road debris doesn't get you, you get yourself with something like this. <_<

If I have to do all that, then I'm either never washing the bike again, or I'll just put up with the slightly sticky brake pad for the first two feet I try to stop. ;)

I see what happened. I mounted the blaster horns, and the right hand one must have vibrated loose and slipped down to where it has hit by the fork at full lock, and smashed in the radiator. :rant: The electrical connecter is now 90 degrees. It looks like it crushed about one small column of...

Never mind... found it. So how much is a new radiator???

Today was in the low 80's here, and while sitting in traffic right after the fan kicked in, I got a good wiff of coolant. Had this happen last week too, but dismissed it as a coming from a different vehicle. Today, no mistake, it was coming from the FJR. Smells like the front left where the...

Interesting, because those are the exact settings that I use.
