Looking back at some of the older post on this subject, back in 2010 the notion of a spacer in the slave cylinder cup was discussed by some of the same folks in this thread. See...

Just to add another pair of eyes to the issue... It seems that going back to the original post by JamesK ,comparing the 2007 and 2009 parts lists and observing the differences, is a good approach. It's just that James missed a couple of parts that Fred has pointed out, plus the addition of...

Thanks James for the background and insight, much appreciated. It seems that if doing the swap to a GEN I clutch slave, that the Pazzo's or knockoffs is practically a necessity as well. I was wondering if you tried the spacer in the clutch slave cylinder cup that you referenced at the beginning...

Very well put, and IMO, this is the best policy whether your riding a motorcycle or driving any other kind of vehicle.

Currently, there's a Capacities section that specifies engine oil amount with and without filter change as well as a discussion about Final Drive Oil or Shaft Gear Oil but nothing about engine oil itself. There's also an Oil Filter Info section, but there is nothing regarding the Yamaha...

So David, did you get the HotGrips installed? If so, can you post your impression of them and also any installations comments and a picture or two to show the final results, including the controller mount. I'm considering these as per Dutch they come in 5 3/4 in length. I'm a bit concerned...

JamesK, thanks for your reply. Let me ask you... in your opinion, when all is said and done, do you think it's worth replacing the Clutch Slave Cylinder on a Gen 2 with a Gen 1 unit considering the collateral issues that ensue? Would you do it again? I'm still on the fence. Any /all opinions...

Like HOBBES, I have the MCL RAM Ball Nut for attaching my TomTom Rider 2 GPS using the included (with the Rider 2) RAM arm and mount. I utilize a SAE connector going to the Rider to provide a waterproof and quick disconnect. The SAE connector is, in turn, connected to a mating SAE plug that...

Hey James, any update? To to achieve lighter operation of the clutch lever I too am considering replacing the Clutch Slave Cylinder on my Gen 2 with a Gen 1 unit , but based on your and the other posts that you referenced regarding clutch lever setting and engagement point, I'm backing off for...

Fred W said: "The Pazzo (or knock off) levers do not alter the actual leverage, so it will not be measurably easier lever pull, but they will put your hand into a more comfortable position to exert force on the levers. That is how they work. he Pazzo (or knock off) levers do not alter the...

Thanks SLK50, but as you yourself mentioned regarding swapping out the slave cylinder with one from a GEN I, unintended consequences resulted according to the following post (and ones it references)...

Are there any aftermarket levers that provide more mechanical leverage for the clutch side then the stock lever? I find the GENII clutch to be pretty stiff. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I too recently installed the Soupy's links and lowered the rear 20mm with them and lowered the front by 10mm via sliding the forks up the tree. The overall effect at the seat is perhaps 22mm. I cut this amount off the side stand at the foot side. I made a fixture and mounted the cut side stand...

I recently installed a G2 throttle tube on my 2007 which I purchased from https://www.revzilla.com I used a combination of slim screwdriver along with some WD40 to loosen up the grip and then blew in compressed air to finish the removal. Once installed, I also removed all cable slack via the...

I lowered the front of my GEN II 10 mm following the install of Soupy's link lowering of 20 mm using the following method: First put the bike on the center stand to take some load off the front and to put equal load on each tube. Then loosen the 2 lower and 1 upper pinch bolts...lowers...

Hey Bucky, now that it's been a year and a half since you did your shortening via re-bending, what results can you report back? I'm about to embark on the same journey having just purchased Soupy's adjustable links and will needing to adjust the side stand as well. Are you satisfied with the...

Chris, thank you, I appreciate it! Interesting to note on the Soupy's website it says " **Note** On the 2nd generation FJR1300 we are seeing that Yamaha used different diameter link mounting bolts on some bikes. We do not know the reason for this. Our lowering links for that bike will ship...

Angus, thanks for your input.

I bought Oxford grips for my Suzuki Bandit a couple of years ago from Lockitt. See this: https://lockitt.com/Lockitt/product/GPOX695.html Note the pull-down for selecting the controller. I purchased the "Heat Troller dash mount" when I ordered mine ( extra $35). This is, IMO a superior...

I have a 2007 (GEN II). I'm considering Kouba links as well as Soupy's adjustable links. I can't find any specification on the bolt hole center to center spacing on the Kouba links. I tried contacting Kouba directly, but have not heard back. Can one of you out there that has Kouba links on a...
