    SS1K LIVE from the Saddle

    Okay, I convinced the family to let me attempt my first SS1K. As I type this, it is 6:50pm PST on Wednesday August 2, and I am planning on departing at 4:00 am PST Thursday August 3 - just over nine hours or so from now. I'm not sure whether this will qualify as an SS1000 (miles) or SS1600...

    Speedometer Sensor? Where is it?

    1) Yep, except the existing harness connector is inaccessible. So much for plug and play. 2) This is the next option. Rich

    Speedometer Sensor? Where is it?

    The speedo on my 05 is out about 4.5% so I ordered the Speedohealer. Thought I would tackle the install this weekend but have hit a stumbling block. The actual speed sensor connector is tucked up between the bottom of the air filter case and the back/top of the engine. Someone who is double...

    New Smuggler from FSD

    How many miles?

    Actually if you are coming from Vancouver take the awesome Fraser Canyon route (Highway 1) to Kamloops and then go south on Highway 97 to Vernon before heading west.

    Importing Parts to Canada

    +1 on USPS - I insist on all my orders from down south they ship USPS or I find another supplier. UPS and FEDEX brokerage will kill you everytime.

    Moving my cruise control servo

    Finished moving my servo - have about 1/2" clearance from tire which seems to be more than adequate. Also changed my vaccuum canister to the NAPA fuel filter and mounted in between tool tray and gas tank - works great.

    Techmount Stem Mount

    I bought mine (including 3" shaft) from Cyclegadgets $59.95 USD and they ship to Canada USPS so cheap shipping and no brokerage. I also ordered the 1.5" shaft from them - I think it was about another $12 or $13 USD.

    Moving my cruise control servo

    Having seen what Ionbeam and others have done in terms of mounting their Audiovox CC servos on ABS bikes near the rear tire, I decided to relocate mine from under my seat. So far it has been a nightmare. First I decided that since I had the fuel tank off and unhooked my throttle connection...

    Drive Shaft -- Facts & Myths

    I'm not sure I could be any more confused... :( When I look at the Yamaha diagram on the first page of this thread it looks like there are two drive/gear couplings on the rear - one is forward of the oil seal and the second is aft of the oil seal - there do not appear to be any part number...

    `06 FJR Problems already?!

    Uhhmm seems early days to be diagnosing any supposed problems - time will tell. As for buying first year models - someone has to or else there would never be any subsequent models!!! :D
