Sorry to hear that about 132. That's my preferred route up thru the center of the state. The Economy has had an effect on a lot of road maintenance. The other thing about riding up north is the number of businesses that have closed down. Very depressing.

Went over NH118 this morning, from Rt112 in Woodstock to Rt25 in Warren. It used to be that the north half of the roaad was terrible and the south half was OK. They've fixed that now - both halves are awful. It's passable, if you don't mind having a few fillings rattled loose. But, it's not...

Dennis, I'm always a little uneasy about "we didn't do anything, the bike runs fine!". That hardly ever lasts. You know, you are in the middle of a bunch of FJR owners. If you post up a time and place, I'm sure you can get some locals to meet you and at least listen to your bike and discuss...

Do you remember what you did with the hoses when you cleaned them off? If you crimp the tank vent hose closed, you can get some strange results. Running on two cylinders doesn't sound like one of them, but with the hose closed the tank can draw enough vacuum to cause it to deform. So, you...

Mine came unglued and got in the way a couple of years ago. I cut it free and have been riding that way ever since.

While there are some normal highway type interchanges on that section of road, in many of the places on that video that you see more than two lanes in a direction, those are left turn/ right entrance lanes at cross roads. People are either slowing down from about 75-90KPH to make turns or...

The locatiion indicated in the CBC story makes this much worse. The originally stated location was much farther north, in a not very densely populated area. The actual location is very densely populated (at least for Vancouver Island) and those intersections he was blasting through carry a lot...

From a lifetime of experience: If you purchase the parts you may need and have them available, the old parts will work perfectly. If you do not purchase the parts you may need and don't have them available, it is guaranteed that each and every one of the old parts will be destroyed in the...

Glad it got there. Hope it works for you.

If I remember correctly, the list price was either $12.5K or $13K. The seller apparently thinks the residual on a six year old bike is 80%.

Dennis, My cut down OEM shield extends just about an inch above the tips of the W. It results in my helmet being in clean air and very quiet. At highway speed, you can raise the shield about an inch and it takes all the pressure off your chest. Since it's not currently on my bike, you are...

Tony, If you need some help swapping the dogbones, you can bring it to my house and I'll be glad to show you how. It's about a ten minute job... add 5 minutes to clean and grease. Being unemployed, my availability is pretty good. Dan

You're welcome.

I have a Gen I clutch slave that has been sitting in my garage for some time. I bought it to try on my Gen II and didn't like it. I will be happy to send it to anyone who wants it. To the Admins: I would have appended this to the "Pay it Forward" thread but couldn't find the thread after ten...

Popular MC road in WA.

The Bushing is there to take the wear. Just buy and insert a new bushing, part 3GM-26455-00-00 . Unfortunately, it doesn't look like the main bushing is replaceable from Yamaha. I bet you could find one somewhere and replace it, instead of buying a whole new lever. I don't now why it would...

Fred, Nothing romantic or exotic. Hit a pretty good pothole, coming around a curve on NH 149. Knocked the front out of runout spec and put about a three inch dent in the rear and knocked it out of round. Dan

Quote from LAF "I will consider it for sending it out but I wonder about cost of straitening, shipping charges, and turn around make it worth it for 514.00? At this point not to me." Cost of straightening both my rims was $240. That included unmounting tires, straightening, remounting tires...

You could give these guys a try. They did a really good job on both my rims a couple of months ago. https://www.mcwheel.com/
