Follow up....I bought one of these and installed using these instructions. https://www.st-riders.net/index.php?PHPSESSID=m0d3oiim9r479s81c4dre7lt02&topic=10145.0 A couple little struggles, but seems like its ok.

Thanks!! I’m going to take advantage of the generous offer above, but, I may try this as a project.

The one I have works fine, but, there seems to be a protective coating on the screen that has failed and flaked away. I don't know if this is just a screen protector to protect from scratching from gloves or if it has something to do with the waterproof capabilities. Can't seem to find just a...

Gotcha. I'm going to go on trial and error. I'm going to swap springs and toss in some Motul 5w. If I don't like it, I'll drain it out and put something else in. The crap that's in there has been in for a few years, so, I'm sure anything I put in will be better than that.

I thought the M1 and M01 (far be it from yamaha to have the same thing called more than 1 thing) were the same and also the same as R&T43 and equally expensive. What's the reason for looking for the viscosity? Aren't different oils, even though traced back to having nearly the same viscosity...

Is this helpful? https://www.peterverdone.com/archive/files/suspension%20oils.pdf

Sorry. Was a poorly played April 1 joke. Pretty sure there's no way to change a fluid's dynamics and change the way fluid runs through orifices. Thanks for entertaining me. No hard feelings, I hope.

Don't know why it would sound dumb. The idea of doing different things in each of the fork legs has been around for a while.

No, he was a tuner for multiple national championship winning teams

A racing suspension tuner once told me to get to 7.5, they would put 10 in one fork leg and 5 in the other rather than trying to blend.

Not looking for stock/OEM. Let me know what ya got...springs, gold valves, etc.

Won't this also be a good idea for anyone thinking of a '16 that will have a slipper clutch? Unless they've changed things, if you have a slipper clutch, you won't be able to bump start it.

For those who have been through this, would a question like this be answered by the rally master as 'it's not my responsibility to interpret the rules for you' or would they give a straight answer?

STLI - Statue of Liberty National Monument. The Park is in NY, however, the picture gets taken from Jersey City, NJ. Looks like you can get credit for a state without ever entering the state.

Normally I'd wonder what in the hell anyone was doing anywhere near DC during rush hour (or anywhere on I95 between Richmond and DC for that matter), but, there's a reason they're out there doing what they do and I'm sitting here doing what I do.

Use, but, if they feel the need, they can confiscate as evidence and return later....from what I have heard. Edit...I stand corrected

And now appears to be heading to Gettysburg to do a quick sweep. Traffic is a mess there this weekend. Gonna be cutting it close. The small silver lining is that his trek will have home going down 81 through Virginia where they upped the speed limit to 70 most of the way, however, they're...

Seems like every IBR, these words from the Smokey and The Bandit theme song come to mind: We're gonna do what they say can't be done We've got a long way to go, and a short time to get there

I posted a link to this post in the general discussion forum in case there's someone local who isn't necessarily monitoring this thread (although with nearly 40,000 views, that's probably unlikely, but, you never know). May want to post something here if/when the plea is answered.

For those who may be in/near Albuquerque who aren't monitoring the IBR thread, there's a current plea for help. FJR Gen 2 rider coming in with possible bent forks. https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php/topic/163827-official-2015-iron-butt-rally-trackinganalysis-thread/?p=1242014
