Thank you very much. You just helped me decide what color to paint my FJR. In that first pic the front fender looks like it is a darkish gray metalic. (At least on my computer it does.) That is a great color for an FJR. Does it look that way to anyone else? Oh, and by the way, touring is...

There's an echo in here, almost.

Can't say that I tried it but others have suggested a little heat and some fishing line to cut the glue under the sticker. I like the stickers. Not the dealer ones, but I'm good with the Yami ones.

FJR080008 said in his last post on the other page: "Since I had everything apart, I decided to check my intake and exhaust valve clearance and was very delighted to find out that everything (intake & exhaust valves) were within tolerance via specs. from the manual. " That sounds like a bit of...

Yeah...Imagine my surprise, I clicked on "View new posts" :)

Good article. I read it along time ago but thanks for the reminder. It was just as good the second time.

pjm What works best for me, in all gears, is to not let all the way off the throttle when shifting. I only reduce the throttle half way and it makes the bike shift so smooth you can't believe. YMMV

Glad you are mostly OK. It enrages me that she lied, and that she got nothing from the cop. She is probably related to someone somewhere. Sucks. Get a good lawyer.

Thats a good idea too. Just make sure whatever you put in there stays in place until your done.

Granted that may be overkill and not for everyone. But when I do this type of work I usually do everything together. CCT, chain, valve lash etc. so it just works out that way. But when you consider the potential for disaster $$$$$$$ it's well worth the time. To me anyway. FWIW. But like Greg...

Oh Dear! This does not sound good. Jeff's comments matched my scenario and findings exactly. I had almost the same problem exactly. The only exception is when I jumped a tooth I was in the process of timing the cams so I saw it before I tired to start the bike, narrowly avoiding disaster. From...

Yup! Just what I was thinking. Like a pimple on the nose of a beauty queen. Can't take your eyes off of it. Bike looks great though.

+1 If the guy was a friend worthy of letting him use your bike he would not have asked. Graduation gift......baloney. It's his gift to himself at your expense. But I could be wrong.

That sounds like a fuel mixture problem to me. I just had a similar problem. You need to do several things to make it run really correct. 1. Check the throttle sync. (You could skip that with such low mileage) 2. Set the idle to 1200 RPM's 3. Do the Barbarian Jumber Mod...

Yes, you are right. When I checked I found the Map that DynoJet originally made for the 06 FJR in stock trim. The table was full of values. If it was a zero map it would not have any numbers in it. I added 2 points to every value and loaded it. Rode to work today and the bike ran like a *****...

I would love to come out and play, but have to work. I don't mind work, but I find it cuts into my day.

Absolutely correct. I need to do an actual measurement to get a real number. What I have noticed though is when the bike is running lousy those numbers do drop off a little, and when it is running good they will rise a little.

Thank you all for your input. Some really good ideas there. Today I checked the PCIII map and it was indeed the stock map for an 06. So I created another map by adding +2 to every one of the trim values. The bike ran really well after that. I could not detect my little issue any more. I guess...

Mines an early 2006. It came with : 5 18 18 21

I've been battling this issue since last year, and am running out of money. I'll try to explain as best I can. Normal cruise, say 60 MPH. If you let off on the throttle, and then bring it back on slowly the engine will start to pull a little (not as much as it should) but then at 1/8 throttle...
