    Replacing a Gen1 rear shock with a Gen2

    Not a shame at all. First it was not difficult or perticluarly expensive. Second the soft setting is substantially firmer than the Gen 1 hard setting. I have never used anything but the firm setting on the Gen1 and it has always felt undersprung. Both I and my riding buddy **** noticed a...

    Replacing a Gen1 rear shock with a Gen2

    So because I was somewhat unsatisfied with the FJR suspension (too spongy and soft) I wanted to firm it up but I didnt want to spend big money. I had heard that the Gen 2 rear shock was more heavily sprung to accomodate the longer swing arm. Since the shocks are the same configuration the gen 1...

    Misano MotoGP

    Maybe thats so, all the more reason to take a "finish the race" strateg. Focus on the big picture and stay in the chanpionship race, but that kid is balls to the wall all the time and he is always riding too close to the edge. I think that if he doesnt stop riding like that crashing will be his...

    Misano MotoGP

    Wasnt a very interesting race after Stoner pooped out. I think that Stoner only has straight aways and horse power to claim the holeshot and stay in front of Rossi. But once Rossi swithced tread it seems that all he has to do is pressure Stoner. Casey is certianly good but he seems too bold and...

    replacing rear shock

    Yeah I have seen the relavant part of the manual for this proceedure, it has some nice images but the step by step is a little lacking to say the least. And certinaly there are a lot of short cut that people find that can be helpful. :) EDIT: Ok I am done installing. its really quite easy. Ten...

    replacing rear shock

    Ok this is perhaps a stupid question, but I have heard the manual is not worth buying and I have always found the FJR how to page very good. However that page only covers installation of the Olin. I plan on installing a stock 06 shock onto my 04 since my shock is getting a little worn and the 06...

    Does ECU monitor cam chain, sprocket wear?

    seems like a wise choice if you can do it.

    Does ECU monitor cam chain, sprocket wear?

    And you would think... given the cost of a failure there, that they would have some sort of indicator
