Just had a chance to try the new setup- worked as described. I really like the fact that it empties the aux tank first, get rid of any excess weight up top. I did seem to have a slight bit of fuel weeping around the main tank cap but nothing significant.  I’ll keep an eye on this. Sure is...

Just did a test in the garage, too much snow for riding. Main tank was two bars from full. Half filled the aux tank to check for leaks. Started the bike and it ran fine but couldn’t see the fuel flowing through the glass filter, just figured that there wasn’t enough suction yet. When I shut...

Thanks for the link, great pics. Canadian FJR

If you decide to part out, interested in prices for the following; - Fuel tank with fuel pump - Rear shock linkage Canadian FJR

This is the only thing that I would be cautious of; "Do not open the bike tank unless you are positive the aux is empty - otherwise fuel will pour out the moment you open the cap." Canadian FJR

Back when I did some playing around at the race track, this conversation came up often. The response was always the same - much cheaper for the rider to drop 10 lbs compared to the bike. Canadian FJR

As far as transfer, I always use a see thru in line filter.  This way I can see if there is fuel and also acts as a pre filter before it hits the sock in the tank.     Canadian FJR

Well, if this works it is a pretty simple install. Mounted my old cell on the Givi rack, 5/16 line run from the cell to front nipple (vent) of the stock tank.  Single line from the back nipple (water drain) stays as is.  Can't wait to test it. Canadian FJR

What size fuel - 5/16 (7.9mm) ?? —————— Also, I found these comments on the IB forum; When both tanks are full and you ride away from the gas station the fuel is pumped out of the bike tank by the fuel pump. That sucks fuel from the aux straight into the bike tank litre for litre. At the same...

First ride of the year (in Nova Scotia) today.  Yesterday's rain cleaned the roads nicely. Canadian FJR

Do you have any shut off or quick disconnect between the Aux tank and your main tank? Canadian FJR

Riding season is starting in one week - nothing like a two day drive south to find dry/salt free pavement. Canadian FJR

Looking forward to any updates you can provide. we are likely traveling the same route. Safe travels, Canadian FJR

First engine start in 2020, checking the oil level after fresh juice prior to my trip south for FWG. So nice to hear it purr. Canadian FJR

Watching this one closely, heading through that area on the way to FWG in two weeks.  It will be nice to get away from the snow for a few days. Canadian FJR

Buy a damaged one cheap, cut it down and paint it black. Slow on the draw, already mentioned  Canadian FJR

Tell me more about the oil filter guard. And good luck with the sale. Canadian FJR
