Ray, I'd have to take issue with your first sentence. As the originator of this thread, I can unequivocally state that the spring in MY tensioner broke, resulting in the (unwanted) replacement of my '04's motor at 46k miles. Jarmo's experience is only the 2nd that I'm aware of of the CCT's...

103,000 miles on my '04. Never done a TBS. Probably never will. No polar bears can blame their deaths on me.

Well, it's certainly exacerbated by the ignition switch.....

Yeah....you're gonna seriously miss your '03.

WAYTAGO, AJ...MOST VALUABLE POST OF 2015!! VERY helpful!

That WON'T buff out....

Yeah, but I "suck" REAL fast!!! :finger:

I steal my get my service directly from Level 3 Communications. Download speeds around 2.5 terabits per second...uploads, who cares? Can pirate download full Blu Ray in about 45 seconds.

First PR4 now on the front...6000 miles and counting. Sipes still present, haven't worn out yet. Previously, 3 Pr2 Fronts, total 36,00 miles. Currently, Michelin Sport AS Plus on the rear, 56,000 miles and another 5-6k remaining on it. May NEVER wear out.

How the hell did I get dragged into this????? BTW, great shots, Walt!

Yeah, AJ...just what the world needs...a gutless 2 cylinder FJR that was overweight before they added 17" alloys, larger fairings, FJRish subframe and new exhaust system. YUCK!! No thanks!!

MUAH!!!!! *******!! :)

Yawn!!!

Looks like a trailer hitch to me...

Seals alone won't do it... The valve guides need replacing, too.

Also, you might try your "compress the front assembly" differently. Don't use the brakes! Instead, roll the bike up to something stationary, such as a garage wall or a truck bumper, etc., and do the compression test without touching the front brakes to keep the bike from rolling away from you...

Won't work....the inner shell isn't attached to anything other than the outer shell, which IS attached to the other half the of bag with a big piano hinge. The inner shell is positively located in the correct "latching" position by being attached to the colored outside shell.
