    FJR Sighting--Texas

    I think a DFW group is becoming necessary. I feel like I've got one of the best rides available and I'm sure most here share my views. I've only met one other FJR rider in person (tripletango) and thats because I waived him in to the tireshop when I saw his bike. Hey dadof5arrows, Don't move...

    The "dreaded Tick" Solved?

    My bike has developed a noise @ 3800 rpms that sounds like a playing card hitting bicycle spokes. I don't hear it any other time. Sound familiar to anyone? Wagman

    Gas In Oil

    Just changed the plugs @ 9K ... all 4 had perfect color. Thought I might mention the best gas milage I get is in the high 30s per gallon. Wagman

    Gas In Oil

    Yes my analysis is only being done by smell. My trips are 40+ miles. If a lot of peeps experience the same gas reek in their oil I guess I won't be too concerned. I just don't recall that smell in the oil of my last 2 bikes. Thanks Wagman

    Gas In Oil

    This was discussed before I believe, but I do not remember the outcome. I've done oil changes at 600, 2600, 6600 and at 10,000 miles there is gas in the oil yet again. I worry about leaking seals but the local Yamaha mech. says the injectors were probably improperly set at the factory. Anyone...

    Balls Of Rubber Found During Avon Tire Change

    Tim nailed it. I've seen this in Michelin tires 100 times at least. Squish one and you'll see that it's not rubber.

    Insurance Tidbits From Texas

    Insurance agengies have their own database that is shared between them, citation or no citation. I believe that on autos, any claim over 1000 dollars flags and stays 3 yrs. Motos are probably similar. Dairyland - $466.00 a year - 34yrs - no accidents or claims Wagman

    Commuter King?

    80 miles round trip 5 days a week. Don't get much pleasure cruising, just my commute to work. Will ride in temps from 32 - 100 degrees rain or shine.

    Coolant Loss

    If it is the waterpump leak you will smell antifreeze. Everything smthng said is spot on what my bike did and required for part replacement. I figured they ordered the extra parts for "just in case" scenarios and/or inflatable warranty billing. Wagman
