    Had valves checked now leaking oil

    He's only an hour and a half from you, I think he should bring it by, have a toothbrush & some chamois cloth ready. ;)

    Taxes are DONE

    Tax prep software does a pretty good job IMO. Think I'll put some of our refund toward paying off my DL650. If it wasn't for the American Opportunity Tax Credit I'd probably owe. <_<

    Changing plugs - how bad did I just F up?

    "what looks like a tiny fuse" That's a resistor, probably 5K ohms. You passed up a chance to measure it. :lol:

    Synthetic Oil

    That's what happens sometimes when feelings get hurt. If you take the view that forum posts are either informative, amusing, or irrelevant and worth every penny you paid for them, it's way more fun IMO. ;) BTW, Mobil 15W-50 Synth works well in my 05 FJR.

    My 03 Concours will turn 100K later this month, barring the unexpected. :unsure:

    PR2 Install Lament

    "and use tire lube, WD40 works well !!" I'll bet it does, even after its mounted. :dribble: I had my FJR rear tire rotate about 30 degrees on the rim after using a lump of Murphy's soap dissolved in water as lube. :glare: I only use the blue NAPA lube now.

    Credit/debit card readers

    You can drill a small hole through the card severing that wire loop around the chip if you'd like to permanently disable that feature. :P

    Help. FJR won't start.

    You can check the operation of the sidestand switch with ohmmeter probes on the connector in the cable that runs up from the sidestand switch on the left side. I think closed is up. When mine acted up it would just crank away & not start as long as it was in neutral or the clutch was pulled in...

    Help. FJR won't start.

    If you have the FSM & trace out those wires, I think those ignition switch wires carry the safety interlock signals line back to the ECU. I don't think shorting them together will help in this case.

    Brightest single LED I've seen

    It's more like best case 4K lumens at the nominal 3.15A test current but still pretty impressive!

    Looking for a New Laptop

    I'd boot to a distro of Linux off a flash drive or live CD on your old laptop before deciding that it's trash, or better yet, just give it to me. :lol: I'm running xubuntu off a 4gb flash drive on an old Compaq laptop whilst making this post.

    TBS Sync Plan - What do you think? Should I make any changes?

    "or does the the tank electrics have to be plugged in for the engine to start?" Yes, the fuel pump is in the tank, it's fuel injected not gravity fed.

    Datel Install

    "it was only while at a high idle, it then dropped." It will, the alt only puts out its rated output at highway speeds. The output at idle is barely enough to power the bike & charge the battery too.
