    Tank camera mounts

    I tried a search and didn't find too much. What does the FJRForum collective recommend for a tank camera mount? I found this one but wasn't sure if the extender was totally necessary. Pretty much would like to order one ASAP as I'm flying down to Tampa on the 21st to buy an FJR and and take...

    Might want to check out Smuggler's Notch in VT....nice little road albeit sometimes packed with tourists....still nice though. I'd like to meet up with you guys for a short stint of this trip....I'll have a few other riders that will be interested as well. So your neighbor with the...

    throttle body sync

    CarbTune is great! I've had mine for a few years now. Had to go with a no-mecury balancer because I love my dog. Bought the unit directly from Morgan in the UK and I got it in about 8 days, no hassle.

    YGTBSM!!!!!!!!!

    Cheng Shin = Maxxis? That explains why I fricken despised the Maxxis tires I ran once.

    Favorite Gel Grips?

    I have the Pro Grips with the little banana-like designs on them.....might even consider them a chili-pepper design.....anywho, that's what I have on my FZ1 and at first I hated them. I liken that to being used to the harder OEM grips. After some getting used to, I've come to really like them...

    My '05 has a cam chain?

    Is there a specified deflection range for checking cam chain wear? I'm interested in knowing more...maybe contact a dealer about some information?

    YGTBSM!!!!!!!!!

    So, general consensus says they're a "meh" tire. "Mediocre" maybe, but not "****". "****" is Kenda. "****" is Cheng Shin. Maybe "Shinko" translates to "****" in Engrish?? Sounds like they're better than the Slipstones, however......not that that's saying much. I'm still a bit curious...

    YGTBSM!!!!!!!!!

    What's with all the bashing of Shinkos going on here? Can I get a show of hands from the people that have actually TRIED them and can confirm they are indeed "****"? You know, there was a time where we once laughed at the Japs for their "crappy" bikes and now look... "Don't knock it till you...

    How was Your Weekend Ride?

    993_Pilot- With all due respect, you're delusional. A Miata? Cripes! For the love of God put down that Koolaid broseph. You're using that ONE video as the Holy Gospel of cars vs bikes? Furthermore, you go from using a "capable" driver/ rider into a comparo like F1 vs MotoGP?? That's not...

    Another round of glove help needed

    Kobe Pro Racing Glove Maybe the style isn't quite "sport-touring" but whatever, they protect the hands extremely well and are super comfortable once they break in. I own two products from Kobe (Misano 1-pc and the Pro Racing gloves) and am very happy so far with the quality and constuction...

    oil change

    Good ole fashioned dino-oil supplied by Yamaha works fine, no? Nary an issue in 40K on my '03 FZ1 using strictly Yammie oil and filters.......of course my discount at the local dealer never hurts.

    How was Your Weekend Ride?

    No fricken way....even the older ones? Put down the Koolaid, you've had enough. ;) EDIT: Too bad you're over in Nevader. I'm about to do a fly-n-buy in a few weeks and would love to be educated.

    I am havin a freekin time with TB sync

    About the PCIII: If you go for it, you should do a custom map to compliment your existing mods, IMO....unless you're stock or if there are shared maps here or somewhere.... If stock, you should be able to download a generic map from PC's website. 900 installed and with tuning is ridiculous...

    I am havin a freekin time with TB sync

    You regain a small amount of bottom end as well....not as in "increases bottom end", rather it restores what was lost as the TB's slowly fall out of balance. More about this sync: Every single sync I've ever done was like this--> Set engine speed to 2K to 3K rpms, sync intakes 1&2 then 3&4...
