Which bike where these gaiters for and where did you buy them?

You haven't mentioned that you loosened the pinch bolt, at least there is one on the RHS on the Gen2 bikes. If there is one on the Gen3 it might also be worth trying, even if you do have an impact wrench...

Thanks for the link Lonerider, just ordered a set.

On the topic of ACC switching wires, does anyone know if there are any factory connectors on the Gen3 bikes on the RHS (near the battery area) that could be used to trigger the relay? For example, on the LHS, there is the heated grips connector and the glove box... I guess you could tap into the...

I have use the HELD Airstream II gloves, and they lasted less than one season before the developing holes in the palm. HELD did refund my money so I guess I can't complain. I have been using the Aerostich Competition Elskin Roper gloves for a couple of years now, and they are still as solid as...

I wish I could get them for under $4, unfortunately, based on my extensive search of all the companies & links you guys provided, as well as a few others found through Google searches this was the only source that had them in individual/small quantities. For example, the Metric-threaded.com also...

Thanks all for your input and suggestions, it seems that M12 x 150mm 1.25 pitch hex socket cap bolts are quite rare. Thanks to your various input I was able to perform more precise searches and managed to find them on eBay UK. Pretty pricey at 14 GBP for two bolts, plus 16GBP shipping, but...

I tried searching the forum, and sifted through numerous frame slider threads. Based on my searches I believe the OEM style engine bolts (for attaching the frame sliders) are M12 X 1.25 thread pitch bolts. I have the MC Enterprises Canyon Cages installed and want to add a set of frame sliders I...

I understand that you've already bought the Galfer lines, but just a data-point, my '07 has around 239,000 miles on it, with original rubber brake lines, and they are working just fine. So unless you're planning to run your '12 well beyond that mileage maybe just leave them be Btw, I remember...

Streethawk, I just saw this thread, I wish I'd have seen it back in 2015 before those unscrupulous ******** at DL Salvage duped me and sold me that same AE engine...

@ScooterG, just buy the R/R kit I linked to from Jack and install it, it's really easy (pretty much plug & play) so you will not need much in the way of tools. I opted for the 50A circuit breaker (and 10AWG wires) rather than the 30A one he's got listed, you just need to ask him for the 50A...

The R/R uses sealed type Furukawa QLW250 connectors, sticking meter probes into the back of them will most likely damage the seals, resulting in leaks and corrosion in the future, especially given the location of the GenII R/R. The MOSFET R/R is intelligent enough to not blow up when not loaded...

SkooterG The R/R on the GenII is located near the rear shock, you don't need to remove any parts to get to it. You'll find that your problem is most likely the one many of us GenII owners have faced before, it's due to the cheap-*** underrated wiring Yami used for this circuit. The solution...

I would suggest going all the way and bypassing ALL the spiders and earthing the each spider block individually to the frame as I mentioned in my earlier post. Do not earth the two ECU spiders, just bypass the connector. I did this at around 40k miles, the bike now has 234k miles and I've NEVER...

If I remember correctly from when I was doing the spiders on my FJR, there's also one somewhere in the front, accessible with the front cowl off. It was many years ago so I might be mistaken.

I would start off by actually grounding that S4 bundle to the frame and make sure to use a good size wire for the ground, e.g. at least 12AGW as it's going to be providing the ground path for multiple ground connections. Since the bike is in pieces already go ahead and independently ground the...

I originally installed the McCruise kit, including the CIU (cable interface unit) they provide with the kit. To be honest I never liked how it affected the throttle feel, and regretted buying into their sales pitch about it's "safety factor" over the tried and true linked chain method. This was...

Thanks for the suggestions guys, per Mcatrophy's post, I'll go ahead and hook up my reservoir in series, b/w the throttle bodies and the CC servo. I already have check valves in place on the two TBS ports that are providing the vacuum.

I am currently re-doing some of the CC plumbing and adding a vacuum canister so was looking over the various Vista cruise writeups. I'm a little confused regarding the vacuum canister/reservoir hookup since I can see it connected in parallel in this write-up and in series in the other write-up...

I did the DIY spider bypass about 130,000 miles ago, and have not had any issues with ground spiders (nor do I expect to ever have any). So why not simply cut them off and ground each block, except for the two ECU spiders? If you search around you find the two ECU spiders per Ionbeam's post, I...
