I'm no expert on oil. But I do remember reading something regarding condensation in the oil. And for this reason when you run a vehicle, it is a good idea to get the engine hot enough to burn off any condensation. So for this reason, I might agree with him. But for me I would probably just fire...

Yamaha1300rider, I posted a similar comment, but I don't think anybody understood. I think it is more in the nature with which the clutch engages. With a usual clutch, once there is engagement, then it is usually just pressure to create more "bite". All done with very little movement at the...

Quad FF50's !!! We will need pics on that one. Beside the side illumination. How do they work for straight ahead? Do they help? Or are they mostly just for the turns.

My guess is that is would have a lot to do with cruising speed. Coming back from Alabama across the western portion of the US. I held it around 90-100, for good distances. If wind resistance is a function of Velocity Squared, then 100mph would produce about 3 times the resistance as 60 mph. So...

For only $100 these are some pretty sweet looking lights. But it seams that I get to switch on the high beams only about once every other year, due to oncoming traffic. Has anybody installed the FF50's with the fog pattern? And what has been your experience?

The answer you are looking for is YES, YES, YES, YES, YES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The PCIII will solve all your problems, no bull crap. I just put it on Wednesday. The best way I can describe it is that if the throttle was a surgeons cutting tool, without the PCIII I would be performing...

I am considering a rear Penske shock from these folks. Does anybody know if there might be a small discount from retail for us forum guys? Maybe not the great deal that Warchild put together for us, but maybe 10% or something? Has anybody asked? Hopefully this doesn't constitute highjacking a...

Did the throttle spring mod the other night. Nice improvement. :clapping: Here are a few notes that help might help clarify which springs to change. There appears to be three springs. Two in the center and one to the right side of the bike (looking forward). The best spring to change is the...

Unfortunately it is set to hard. My complaint with the suspension is that it blows right through 2/3rds of the travel instantly when two up, creating a pogo ing like feeling. The high speed compression dampening (for small bumps) is probably good, but the compression damping for slow speed (big...

I would like to thank everybody on the forum. :fan_1: While I maybe a "newbie", I have been reading this forum and the previous forum for about 3-5 years, planning on getting this bike and finally pulling the trigger last month, but waiting for the weather to warm up before picking my bike...

I bought the special oil specifically for the FJR (shown above) from Long Beach Motorsports ( I hate those guys ). The price tag said $24.95, yet they charged me on the receipt $31.95, wasn't even paying attention. Then I saw the light (here on the forum). Mobil 1 synthetic 75/90 gear oil for...

The site seems down. ADMIN Note: I accidentally edited and deleted the original message. This post is an approximation. Sorry. / Ignacio Thanks below Warchild, site is back up. I am so impatient I went ahead and ordered a PCIII.

Thanks, Mississippi, We will go there this morning, if we don't get struck by Lightning! :blink:

I am currently traveling back through these area. Spending the night in Tupelo(3/28), tomorrow (4/1), hopefully (big storm) going to Jackson MS and then hopefully New Orleans by the end of the day. Does Anybody know of a good Motorcycle Accessories store with a good helmet selection in these areas?

Got the CL-150! Went to Chaparrel today, the ultimate man's toy store. Looked at a lot of other alternatives, but the CL-150 looked like the best compromise between size and looks. The price was only $44.99. Dang that's cheap. I noticed that the new one doesn't have the plastic buckles that tie...

zzzzzip, Thanks for that observation. That makes sense, cause if the bag was expanded and strapped down with bungee cords, and you opened the top, crap would want to come out. I was set on the CL150, and still may buy it (heck it is cheap enough), but might try to get to a motorcycle shop that...

The Nelson Rigg stuff looks like a good decision. Hmmmm, which one? Nelson Rigg Choices

I have Garauld rack on 06 and a Tourmaster Cortech sport tail bag-fits perfect Any pics of the Tourmaster on the luggage rack? I like Tourmaster products!

Quote: Sumpin' like this perhaps? sample bag This bag is 18" wide. Too wide for Garauld's rack IMO. It would probably hanging off at the edges. Scab, Are you putting this on a rear luggage rack? Will you give us a report when you get it? Detailed Pics on CL 150

Hey ZZZZIP, How is that CL150 bag working out, are you happy with it. Does it buckle down to the rack well? It looks like the perfect size.
