    ECU recall with PAIR removed

    I noticed it all the time on my 07. It is most noticeable when WFO transitioning from a higher elevation to a lower elevation. I always noticed it descending from Angeles Crest to Lower Big Tijunga. Very annoying for me at least. All is good with the new ECU. Even with the loosened throttle...

    Bridgestone T30 GT Tire Review

    Don't be scared, I just bought another pair I like the tires so much. Not sure how long they will last, but I like the way they handle.

    Bridgestone T30 GT Tire Review

    Tons of rubber, it just wears off fast. Best handling tire I have had on this bike so far, but at 2,800 miles, looks like half the life is gone, which would be fine by me. I only got 5,000 miles out of the PRIIs, and the last 1,000 miles was scary with the super fast lean in.

    Western FJR Riders Roundup

    Starting to get revved up for this gathering. If I am not able to tag along with any other riders from So. Cal, I may just do the unthinkable (truck the FJR up there). Ann is going to visit her ailing dad, so she is out. Anybody from So. Cal given any thought to times/routes and such?

    Bridgestone T30 GT Tire Review

    Those look great to me. I hope to get that many miles out of mine. 5,000 miles is my litmus test.

    Bridgestone T30 GT Tire Review

    2,613 miles, and still holding. Not near the wear bars yet and still grip great.

    Shoei GT Air vs RF1200 - my test

    After 300 plus miles in this helmet, I can say that it is all day comfort. The air flow is adequate, but not like my old X11. Very loud with the upper vent open, especially if it is windy. The windscreen fogs up easy, but I did not install the pinlock liner. One thing, those with a GT air, which...

    Shoei GT Air vs RF1200 - my test

    Just bought a GT Air and found the helmet very quiet just in the store with the visor closed. It is a pain to put on, but not too bad. I will ride 300 miles tomorrow and post a review if different than above. The drop down inner shield seems to have much better clarity than my Scorpion EXO-1100.

    Non Sport Bike On-Track Training Day 8/19

    I am on the other left coast, otherwise I would join you. These bike do very well on the track, just make sure nothing is scraping hard. I had a blast a month or two ago. Enjoy and be safe.

    Bridgestone T30 GT Tire Review

    Not what I wanted to hear. I have one track day on mine and about 1,500 miles and was hoping they would be good for the July gathering. I may have to order another rear just in case.

    I was probably there.

    BTE 5 Wrightwood Loop

    Nice work Jeff. Mike can sure ride that FJR. Sorry I missed it, but Ann and I did the same run a little later in the day.

    PERT question about PCV Smoothness maps

    Thanks, but I already found that link, and I believe the Useless pickles map is for a stock exhaust or stock exhaust with K&N. The original Wally map is not adjusted for a Gen II, but would be what I am looking for if it was..

    PERT question about PCV Smoothness maps

    I have been running the smoothnessStockAF06PCV map with no problems. Now I have aftermarket exhaust and want to find the combosmoothness map, but all the old links are dead. I also have a Ken_1-4-12 map, but have not tried it yet. Is there a new location to download the wallysmoothness map for a...

    Bridgestone T30 GT Tire Review

    Only 1,714 miles so far. Not enough for a good report, but they look like new.

    So far, so good. I will check the mileage tonight and report back.

    Bridgestone T30 GT Tire Review

    Mine were not very hard at all. I wonder why our two experiences were so different? I let mine set in the sun first, that usually helps. I use the HF tire changer and three tire irons. Yes mine were the GT spec tires. Oh well, good to hear of other experiences.

    Bridgestone T30 GT Tire Review

    Had the T30s on the track and they stuck great. No slipping at all. No cupping yet, but they are not too badly worn. I will post up if cupping shows up and the wear life. Keep in mind I was never much of a Bridgestone fan, but like these new tires.

    How much weight from the FJR can I reasonably reduce?

    Not too bad. I just fold in one mirror and go at it. I always ride without the side bags, just use a tank bag. I will actually put the side bags on for the western riders roundup. That will be my once a year. Oh, and I reduced about 1 once by not putting the center bushings in my forks. LOL
