    New Helmet FF

    Agreed, I've had two Arai helmets. By far the most comfortable helmets I've owned. On the other hand I will not own another till they update their shield system. I prefer the Shoei style of shields that ratchet up and quick release changes are a snap. I currently have the HJC FS-15 and I'm not...

    Yamaha prices - SHOCKED

    Look online for parts, just google Yamaha OEM parts and you'll find a bunch of vendors competing for your money. If you want to support the local dealer print out the quoted price from the internet and give them the opportunity to match or come close. I think the valve adjust pays to do it...

    Headlight lens cracks

    Did some research on Polycorbonate and found this quote on New Hampshire Material Labratory website. NH Labs I suspect it was an uneven expansion from the partially wet lens (stress corrossion) or hydrolysis that caused my crazing and cracking. I've ridden in tons of rain and never suffered a...

    Headlight lens cracks

    Something like this happened with mine by not removing the simple green solution. It baked in and cracked the lens. There has to be one of those 10 pound brain types that can explain what happened. The best I can do with chemistry is making a Jack and Coke.

    Headlight lens cracks

    Just got off the phone with them. They can't do anything for me. This is one of those cases where YES would've paid for itself. Live and learn

    Headlight lens cracks

    The cracking is exterior. I used the simple green numerous time previous to this as well with no ill effects. The mistake I made this time is that I didn't wipe it off the lens. Somehow with the residue on there and the heat of the lamps it cracked the lens. Not sure how but I'm convinced this...

    Headlight lens cracks

    I'm positive now these cracks were caused by some kind of reaction to simple green. I've never seen a crack of any kind on my headlight lens until today. It was definitely an overnight kind of deal and happened after a few hours of riding the other day. I liberally sprayed the front of my bike...

    Headlight lens cracks

    I put on the Cee bailey headlight armor this spring. Today I noticed that my headlight lens on both sides are cracked all over. Serious crazing and brittleness. I'm not sure if this is from heat build up or the simple green I've used to clean them lately. This summer was the first time I've...

    Super Tech 7317 outsourced to different vendor?

    I searched using google and couldn't find a previous posting of this on FJRForum. Good info for those that use the Super Tech 7317 There are versions of the 7317 made in Mexico which are not as good according to the author of this report Filter report All the Super Tech filters I've used...

    Race Tech Fork Spring Install - Squeaks

    Race tech's definition is what I think of when I hear static sag. Static sag is just the weight of the bike on the shock/forks.

    Engine Light On, Doesn'T Run On All Cylinders

    I would try to undo whatever you did. IMO this bike (mines an '08 with 24K) runs fantastic as a stock set up. Hopefully you get it resolved soon. I tried to get info on code 33, but I believe you need a seperate manual for OBD troubleshooting codes. Someone will chime in and get you fixed up.

    Pucker Factor Of 10+

    I wonder how much you get paid to do something like that? It is incredible, he has brass balls for sure.

    Race Tech Fork Spring Install - Squeaks

    by static sag are you explaining no rider, just the motorcycle weight? Because IMO 40mm, even 30mm with that much preload dialed in seems rather excessive. I set my sag (me on the bike) to about 30mm, and that is with 3 lines showing on the preload (stock springs). I'm curious if the outside...

    My Bike Has 134,914 Miles And Has Pr2S

    according your new rules, you've sent yourself to NEPRT. So shouldn't you dock yourself a Rep point? Please be gentle I'm just kidding around. ;)

    Winter Maintenance

    I mean there may be a very small opportunity to run up and down the street this winter, but when the snow hits in front of my house it is there to stay till April/May time frame. People on my street have two mailboxes, the permanent one in the ground and one you can stake in the snow drifts...
