I've had it for years. I don't notice it when I'm riding, which makes me want to ride more, so that's good, right?

Oh, here I go again, sounds like preaching, but I'll do it anyway. Trade the pain you feel during and after riding for the good pain of regular exercise. Just 30 minutes a day walking briskly with the dog, or if you have a treadmill use it, at least every other day. If you don't have a dog, get...

Bump

I just installed the throttlemeister today. There are 2 rubber o-rings next to each other on the shaft that fits inside the handlebar. Compression of these 2 o-rings by tightening the cap screw keeps the entire mechanism from sliding out of the handlebar. Loosening the cap screw will remove...

Did the throttle spring unwind, but the spring failed to unwind 1 complete revolution, stopped about a quarter inch from reseating on the tang. So, I put it back to stock setting. The reason for trying it was some numbness experienced in fingers of my right hand during a 1200 mile, 2 day ride. I...

I use a Cycle Hill changer, and didn't find the BT023 GT's any more difficult than PR2's.

Mounted and balanced a BT023 GT rear tire. I'll tackle the front this weekend. Getting ready for a trip to Colorado. Looking forward to some mountain scenery.

Wow, I really thought the last line of this ride report was going to be "And then I woke up". Great report, thanks for posting.

I just picked up a pair of Firstgear Sedona gloves, mainly because they actually fit. They're very light, reasonably cool, and are cheap.

Installed Fred's $3 remedy to flying Givi top cases, and added a Rapid Transit Recon 19 magnetic tankbag. The tankbag appears to have been made for the FJR.

Me too! Sometimes simple and inexpensive just works. Like the grip puppies as well.

The video was so good I caught myself checking the sides for deer. Thanks for posting.

I moved the handlebars to the closest position. I like it.

Good idea dcarver. As the OP, I just wanted to clear up a couple things: 1. The picture of the sight glass at the beginning of this thread was taken when the engine and oil were cold, not warm, not cool, but cold. I drained it down to that level knowing from my experience (been riding off and...

:D I knew that was comin'. I inherited that cup when she went with the lighter, plastic measuring cup set. That would be a good thread. Hey, she's always borrowing my tools. For some reason, she never wants the stuff back that I borrow from the kitchen.

I'll be changing the oil tomorrow, I'll take your advice, thanks. I'm used to HD's and if you fill to full mark, seems like you just get more in the air cleaner.

I was concerned when I observed the oil level sight glass was full to the top even when the engine was cold. So I drained it until the level looked like this: And this is how much oil I drained: I'm not sure if the dealer added oil during prep, or if it came overfilled from the factory...

My local Ace Hardware has the Ilco YM63 blanks, had 2 extra keys made, a couple bucks each.

Just mounted my son's Givi V46 tech with SR357 rack last night. We noticed the same thing, maybe not quite a half inch though. However, we snugged the 2 forward screws first, then the middle 2. There was a slight gap between the rack and the last spacer. We filled the gap with a couple washers...
