    I guess I missed a memo, what is this going into?

    Coonamble Amble

    What a great ride report! My FJR is sitting in the garage without any front forks (at GP for a rebuild),outside is 6" of snow on the driveway. Those scenic shots are killing me. I'm sooooo jealous........

    Corrosion Alert on an 07'

    I havn't used Simple Green in this area but will keep this in mind in the future. Can you share some of your knowlege about the ABS sensor and what not to do? I'm a bit confused, and confuse easily!

    Corrosion Alert on an 07'

    I was in the process of removing my front wheel so as to remove my forks to send to GP Suspensions for the group buy suspension service. I have removed the front wheel once before to have a new Michelin installed but that's it for the front wheel. Since I didn't want the entire assembly for the...

    Dynojet Research Fine = $ 1 million

    And are catalyitic comverters required in the US like they are in Europe? I mean aren't we already beating the requirements?

    Dynojet Research Fine = $ 1 million

    How is a $ 1,000,000.00 fine going to reduce pollution? Maybe have Powerjet display the curves and emissions to show compliance? Looks like a bunch of Governator BS to me!

    fjr exhaust music

    You are absolutely correct! Had I not been able to see and hear the Remus, there is no way I would have them now. I had the opportunity to see and hear many different systems at WFO-6 last summer. And somewhere I had heard a sound file for the 2B system which I was very close to getting. But up...

    fjr exhaust music

    Vandy, I really don't think an audio file is going to give you the full perspective of what the system is going to be like on your bike. As in my earlier post I have the Remus sytem. I like the way it sounds, in that it is barely over stock, maybe a little more in the bass rumble area than...

    Windshield Question

    Blonds...... Brunettes....... Redheads...... Everybody has their personal favorite. Windshields are no different.

    Riding away with a cold engine

    I'm going to run against the grain on this one. I let my bike get fairly close to normal temperature before I run anywhere near the normal load and shift points. I guess it's my background in aviation and engineering that gives me a guilty conscience from doing so. That being said, the aircraft...

    fjr exhaust music

    FWIW- My Remus with the baffles in (installed) I feel is barely louder than stock. On the slab over about 50 mph, I can't see any difference. Which is exactly what I wanted!

    Suggestions for a response to Yamaha

    Secu- I'd walk in to the dealer, go up to your bike and pull the front brake, if it makes pressure take it and leave. Let them know of your counsel background and that an another dealership has been retained to conduct an inspection. I'd take it to another dealer either way. Good luck, keep...

    Bleeding ABS

    Probably overkill, and my tendency to anal retentive about my FJR. I could have recycled the fluid to continue purging the system but I didn't want to take any chances as the vacuum reservior isn't pefectly clean.

    wheel repair...bent rim

    Have you tried ebay for a new (used) wheel? Unless it is a very small bend for "peace of mind" reasons I would change it out. Bending back cast, machined aluminium isn't always the best idea.

    Bleeding ABS

    I bled the entire system on my 07' when I replaced the entire brake line system to stainless steel braided type. Pulling fluid through the ABS module is not difficult but only if you have the right equipment. I have a strong vacuum pump that runs off of my air compressor and a vacuum reservior...

    Question for Skyway Hydration System Owners

    I purchased another footpeg and can change them out quickly because of instead of using the regular bolt I use a PIP pin. I didn't like the look without something there and the footpeg acts as a dampener because at certain rpm's the main footpeg would buzz. Mine has been installed on the left...

    MotionPro SyncPro is a piece of garbage

    I guess finding the old kind with mercury isn't going to happen, I guess there afraid we'll feed them to tunas. Or does anybody know if they are still available?
