There will not be a noticeable increase in power. Modern honeycomb catalysts do not cause enough backpressure to make a big difference. If you after an increase in power, then a 4 into 1 system would do the trick.

I surround my filter with 18 neodymium magnets. The idea is twofold, first they trap any steel particles before they get to the filter medium, second, the magnetic field so low helps to trigger stoplight sensors. I have yet to cut open an old filter to see what they trap.

I just tried that joke... I have failed, both as an American, a father and a husband. Neither my wife nor daughter knew who was on the 100.00 bill. They also fail to properly answer who was on the ONE dollar bill, or the five, or the twenty (myself could not remember the ten).

finished bulking up for winter with the V-Stream and the hand-guards last week. Yesterday I installed my brand new United Kingdom special real leather rear seat cover. It matches the Front seat cover that was put on about 3 weeks ago. These have a black center panel with grey side trim...

That is so crazy!! the F1 driver now has a new definition of "pucker".

Make your right foot your ABS until you find a block used.

CAUTION! Using any tank (or other part for that matter) that was intended for use on a FJR built between January 2nd 2002 and December 26th 2002 will make your FJR much faster! With the only exception being IF (and only if) you are installing it on an FJR with the model year designated as...

Starter full of oily conductive carbon pudding could be an issue inside the starter. That has been found on this forum multiple times. Getting to the starter can be a pain though.

I might not like the message but THAT WAS FUNNY!

OK, it looks like it has this problem only when it is VERY hot. Next time, try cycling the key on and off several times. My theory is: When you shut it off hot, the fuel is boiling in the fuel rail and causing fuel starvation upon restart. So cycling the key several times should build up the...

You say you smelled gas? I had same thing. Lift the tank, unplug fuel pump, crank till sputters and dies, reconnect fuel pump.

I have an '03 too. Silver has a total of 130,500 miles on it now She sits in the sun every day as I use it for commuting. the 'seam' split in the right side, front seat, halfway from front to rear. I was expecting it as the vinyl was getting hard. Just yesterday, (I need to post in "What...

I like the modulars too. My first was a REAL cheap chinese one, 89.00. OUCH! Very painful to wear. I pulled the velcro-ed inner liner out and then the velcro and made my own liner from foam rubber after about 5 minutes. That Helmet lasted 6 months. My second was a Caberg 'Trip', also known...

I hate it on right handers when cars and trucks with cattle/horse trailers kick sand and gravel from the shoulder onto the road. Heal quickly, then go put about 6 basketball sized rocks about 6 inches off the pavement to stop the cars from trying to kill us.

+2 on the cause. It was tire or tire pressure for me too.

There's an idea!

My recommendation, Pump it a whole bunch of times. This will pump the rear pads to full contact with the disk. If it does not 'firm up' the pedal then look at air in the line as the cause. BTW, always pump up your brakes, 'cause not doing so means the fist squeeze will do nothing! This can...

Ditto, Thanks for the Follow up. So Often the OP does not post the solution or the problem once it is found.

Today, I took Silver out of 'Hooligan mode" by putting the rear fender back on. Then I upgraded its winter comfort quotient by putting the hand-guards back on. That only leave changing the tall stock spring-autum windscreen to the giant V-Stream 'riot shield' in a couple of weeks. Then the...

What was the engine temp at the time? Normal or running hot? Were there other things that could have been involved?
