    Guys I need your help

    All the tell tale symptoms are there. Wife coming home later & later from work. Going out with the girls etc etc. I work extremely hard & I'm usually asleep by the time she gets home. So the other night I make a point of staying up. We're having the house renovated & the only entry is through...

    09 Throttle

    I have an 08 FJR & before i added some performance mods, found the throttle response to be near perfect, akin to the best carburettored set up. Throttle is also light. I've read many threads complaining about the above, maybe it was fixed on the AUS. spec model.

    Why I LOVE my FJR... and farkles...

    I own 3 bikes. An 08 FZ1 with all the performance & suspension mods & An 09 ZX-10R with a PC, full exhaust system, BMC filter. When I want to really play I'll ride one of these. Each has Its own characteristics which I really like but guess what. Each time I go for a ride & have predetermined...

    The Hyperpro 3D Shock

    No experience with the hyperpro 3D shock, but i do have with Penske. You may want to have a look at the Traxxion Dynamics stimulus package. They have the AK-20 gas charged fork cartridge kit [installed] & probably the best kit available, along with a penske 8983 shock for $1575. An absolute...

    Fork Protectors

    I just glued [silastic] the modified original protectors to the brace. In hindsight, I should have done what you did. I know it's going to be a bitch when its time to remove the forks etc.

    Fork Protectors

    I've just purchased a superbrace for my 08 FJR & want to move the protectors up the forks to install the brace. I've tried turning & pushing up, gently tapping them up with a flat edge chisel, tried prying them up with a wide steel rule. Haven't damaged anything.... as yet. I know this has got...

    SICK of this bike!!

    No disrespect to your husband, but even an average rider on an FZ1 would toast an FJR in the twisties. How do I know....I own both bikes. The FJR is a sports TOURER & a very good one. I think he [ your husband ] was just cruising & didn't want to show up your riding abilities for what they...

    Frank won't quit

    I'm sitting here reading this with tears streaming down my face from laughing. I was thinking of a suitable reply to Radman till I came upon Newtons reply. I can't top that. Gotta love the humour. :lol:

    Linked brakes: What is Yamaha's rationale for their setup?

    Nothing happens & no way does the bike want to fall down. This is my first bike with ABS & I have 2 other bike [ 08 FZI / 09 ZX-10 ] both non ABS. I actually like the ABS better than than my other bikes & coming from a previous non believer of this systen I now eat humble pie every time i apply...
