+1 on the side stand trick. Engine off, side stand down, verbal agreement get on/off, hands on shoulders on/off.

Ok, the center stand does not get in the way at all when dropping the pan, not even close to being an issue. The gasket doesn't look too bad, but..........I'm at another crossroads. The Yammy dealer left me a message while I was working on the bike. There is a possibility I could have a shiny...

I just drained the radiator and removed the side stand. I took a good look around under there and I don't see that the center stand will interfere with dropping the pan. Maybe it was only because you didn't get the radiator out of the way? I've got decent room to work on the header bolts. So...

Great tips! I'm going to just drain the radiator and loosen the hoses so I can get it a little further away from the header. Maybe that will give me more room around the center stand as I don't have any other means of supporting the bike. I really appreciate all the West Coast help, great...

Yes, I re-used mine when I change the oil pan. My gasket came off with the pan and was perfect. It is a metal gasket. Just take your time and work around the dges slowly and it should come off without any distortion. You should be able to re-use. I do have one, but no way I can ship it until...

Has anyone ever re-used the old gasket when changing out the oil pan (oil strainer cover)? I've got a new oil pan, thanks aachiu! And I obtained exhaust crush gaskets for the header removal. But apparently the oil pan gasket MAY be on backorder until freaking Sept!!!! I placed an order...

I'm at the point where I need to remove the side stand. But it looks like the 2 bolts that hold it on also provide Support. Do u guys know if I have to support the bike to remove it?

Thanks guys! I have a smaller 1/4" drive and a larger 3/8" drive torque wrench. I think the little one will be fine for this. It measures both Nm and in/lbs. Hopefully I won't have too many other problems! I just knocked out the first problem, removing the stripped 4mm socket head bolt out...

I don't have a copy of the service manual yet, but I have an immediate issue I need to resolve. I'll be replacing the oil pan so I need to take the exhaust off and the pan itself. I'm not sure what the torque specs are though and I was wondering if somebody could let me know what they are. And...

I haven't had a problem dropping out yet while using gps. Actually, I use my phone all over the US on a weekly basis, and only once in a while is it a problem. But generally when I get in an area that my maps/gps don't work there aren't too many roads to get lost on anyway.... Good point...

Great idea! It was a pain to find one in such a short time span, never mind a new one, but Marcus is hooking me up. Let me think about this, but I may just do the same thing you're thinking of.

Just bumping to see if anyone knows of a dealer that can ship one out quick to NC. Kinda sucks because I had a week long trip planned for Friday... :(

Hey Bill, I was looking for the timesert not the washer. But thanks for the heads up on that! I talked to my local yammy dealer, not sure who I got, but they didn't even know what a timesert was. So now I'm thinking about getting a new pan and having a closer shop (Honda) install it. Just need...

not to dig up an old thread but...... does anybody know the model/part number of the timesert that fits our bikes? I have a 2005

I've got the first Gen original Droid. Almost obsolete....lol

FWIW- Thought I would put up a post with another alternative to comms,nav and streaming music. I'm using a Droid with my Sena SMH-10 dual unit. Pairing/connecting The Droid works great with the Google maps, streaming music and phone. Easy pairing/connection to the Sena unit. The GPS over...

I live in Charlotte, and have made a couple of trips (7-8 hr) up into the Blue Ridge and mountain areas recently. Wearing a Fieldsheer mesh jacket with a cotton tee, and Tourmaster mesh pants with a loose nylon short and underwear. I haven't really had a problem with sweating, it gets hot at...

Stripped the oil pan drain, but local dealer is closed and I'm not sure how quick they can get one if they don't have the parts on hand. Trying to be proactive as I have a trip planned Fri and short on time for repairs.

I came from a cruiser that gave me neck/ back issues when I first got it 7 yrs ago. The fjr never gave me an issue. But I have a Russell day long. Maybe a different seat would help?

I looked all over that website and could not find the place to download the firmware upgrade. I just received my sena dual units monday and had about an hour to play with it before I had to catch a plane. If I can figure it out I'll let you know.
