    Yamaha say's they have an adjustable ventilation system on 08's

    also covered in the bin-o-facts for gen II's. under "Adjustable Middle Faring" Out directs more warm air to your shin area. It doesn't make anything cooler or warmer, it just directs the airflow to different areas.

    can't sync the throttle bodies

    I made this one Clicky I also have a motion pro regular, and the home made one is about 5 times more sensitive than the motion pro model (it's the less expensive mercury manometer). I have used both. I also use a single tube version differential manometer for my 2-cylinder motorcycles.

    I have no tint. I like it just fine also.

    Valve adjusting shims

    My experience (although limited), is the same as Jeff's. Typically printed, and the printing wears off of the old/used ones. New one's for me have always been marked (i.e. ink stamped).

    I swear, It wasn't me

    that's a shocking story! You may want to get a CT scan for the brain, not to see if there's damage, but to counteract the EMF in your body by the magnetism! This should stop the RF in your gas from changing the TV channels. (im still laughing) :D :D

    Cardo Scala Q2

    Can you replace the "Ultra-Slim Dual Speakers"? Or is there a standard 3.5mm stereo socket somewhere on the unit to use alternate (i.e. Etymotic) earplug speakers? I can't tell from the web-site info, or the datasheet.

    Givi V46 LED tail & Brake lights

    Fred W. Actually, it's 20 High Intensity LED's on a custom circuit board. Price is very reasonable.

    PIAA 1100X Mounting Options

    although I have no personal experience with the particular mount options, I would recommend for best lighting, that you choose the one that mounts as high as possible.

    In a Crash, Where Will You Most Likely Hit Your Head?

    JB, I tried to start a FAQ on helmets Here but no one would take it and run with it. Note that the diagram is already in that post.... no need to google, just search the fjrforum!! Perhaps if you have a helmet passion, you'll take the post, and make it yours!

    Cat Troubles

    Other than what's already been suggested, you can cover the seat and tank area with aluminum foil. You may also find other ideas by googling "Cat Repellent"

    looking for advise

    I have 2 like you mentioned, a large one, and an inexpensive pancake type. As for advise on the larger one -- go to a tool shop that sells air tools and paint stuff, and look at the pressure and CFM recommended. Then decide how many CFM at what pressure, THEN shop the compressor. FWIW -- I...

    Should I wait untill I ride it

    While I don't think there are any serious problems with the OEM throttle tube, I also have the G2 ergo cam on. Since you're asking, I'd say that if you have time, and can get the G2 before it stops snowing -- go ahead and replace it. If you don't like it, or want to A/B compare them, it's a 10...

    Emergency Brake study

    Interesting read, but I don't see how you get 10 feet. Page 9 the 100Km/H to 0 tests: Clutch engaged = 41.51 meters average 35 tests Clutch disengaged = 39.95 meters average 11 tests 41.51 - 39.95 = 1.56 meters = 5.11811024 feet (approximately) And this would assume that the clutch...
