    Need Throttle Body Assembly Expert Advice

    Can't remember where or why but do remember reading something else good about Coleman Powersports recently. They must be doing something right.

    Smokers (BBQ - not grilling)

    Maybe two, two and half hours? I delayed a bit after seeing them split thinking they'd cook faster but it was still at least two.

    Smokers (BBQ - not grilling)

    Well two days after the fact but after my son just polished off the little left-overs today for lunch it made me remember. Recently went into Costco and saw they had blister packs of two "pork loin tenderloins" on sale so grabbed one. (Why can't you go there and walk out with just what you...

    You're shaking cobwebs. Used to enjoy Sunday breakfasts in Cold Spring then working it off leaving on 301. Nice riding up there.

    Need Throttle Body Assembly Expert Advice

    Well . . . might you have any pics you could share of the old assembly? Cleanings of the butterflies come up every now and again, usually in a synch thread. Mostly ideas trying different fluids but I do recall seeing a manual attempt on occasion over the years. Don't remember anyone damaging...

    Smokers (BBQ - not grilling)

    Since moving south I've been trying to get my wife to use regional terms but it's a losing battle after all this time. Just yesterday she suggested bar-b-quing a couple of steaks. When she gets the look she'll correct herself with an emphatic and twangy 'griille', usually with the eye-roll...

    Phone or GPS - Ultimate Mounting Solution - Really! - No BS

    A long-time member here, Dave at Wynpro (08FJR4me) made these style mounts years ago and were quite popular. Not sure what the best phone mount would be though.

    Michelin Road 6GT

    Just going back to that badly worn PR4 for a moment, note that the poster stated that tire came in that condition on his new-to-him bike purchase. Nothing mentioned about how the previous owner rode or maintained that particular bike.

    Sidecase Yamaha Logo

    My replacement emblem has been in the top drawer of the tool box for close to three years now. It's been off so long it sorta feels like part of the bike's identity now. Maybe I'll glue the case to it sometime this year.

    Pivot Maintenance - FJR Stand?

    Pants, what kind of lift are you using? Thinking of finally adding one to the garage.

    Smokers (BBQ - not grilling)

    Oh, no, no, no. The smoker I have needs attending to on a regular basis, no matter what goes in there. There's a reason I put a chair and cigar ashtray right near it. I thought you guys knew all this stuff?
