    drilling small holes in the clutch basket?

    +1 to this, and I will blip the throttle with the clutch in a couple of times which should aid in the plates freeing up. No more 1st gear clunk. Works on many other wet clutch bikes too. I have suggested it to many riders that I see clunking into first. I ran the fjr at idle with the clutch...

    What's the best wax?

    Original bike spirits clean and polish. Spray on - wipe off. Little pricey, but the easiest way Ive found to clean anything.

    Gen III 2013 FJR Off/On Throttle Abruptness

    Yes, you may have something there ANZAC. Will try to find some but not easy around me. Some marinas around lake erie say they have it. Worth a try i suppose. Incidentally, Ive been wondering about your moniker - are you from down under originally ?

    Gen III 2013 FJR Off/On Throttle Abruptness

    Thanks Ionbeam, great information. What you say makes a lot of sense, but the numerical gaps just above idle are still a mystery. Working with Quiksilvers numbers then, the ECU is deciding on a fuel mixture at a TPS reading of 23, when it should track 16 thru 22. Given that the TPS is mounted...

    Gen III 2013 FJR Off/On Throttle Abruptness

    Im wondering now if this surging issue is maybe not fuel related at all. Might be ignition related. Hmmm...... Lets see what comes of your TPS replacement Quik.

    Gen III 2013 FJR Off/On Throttle Abruptness

    Quiksilver, My numbers look very similar to yours ! Code #1. TPS Signal 1. Starts at 15, jumps to 20 with the slightest twist of the throttle, then linear to 103. Code #13 TPS Signal 2. Starts at 17, jumps to 21, then linear to 103. Code #14. APS Signal 1. Linear 17-102 Code #15...

    Gen III 2013 FJR Off/On Throttle Abruptness

    I had to go see! I seldom use Sport mode as Incremental throttle control is almost impossible with this issue. But yes, mine is worse in sport mode.

    Gen III 2013 FJR Off/On Throttle Abruptness

    You are not alone QuikSilver, mine does this too. Has from day 1, but i went through a this-must-be-normal phase! I wish i could say my fuel delivery was great once. Your description is excellent, by the way ! Have not got it figured out yet, but Kens suggestions sound good. I have not used...

    Shouldn't there be clamps ?

    Actually RossKean, when i composed my second post, Freds response had not even showed up yet, so i understand how it appeared i wasnt listening to him. You guys all know how slow and sporadic this site can be. Often documented.

    Shouldn't there be clamps ?

    I dont spend much time on this forum true - too much antagonism here ! I felt a duty to question something i didnt feel was right. In this case, there was potential for injury if the part failed. You should all feel this duty too. So i was wrong about this part. So what, ill be wrong a...

    Shouldn't there be clamps ?

    Wow, you boys have twisted panties today ? Must listen to Fred !

    Shouldn't there be clamps ?

    According to my dealers microfiche, and a desk bound rep @ Yamaha corp, this line was not clamped ! I logged a concern with Yamaha and they are looking further into this. My dealers service manager certainly thought this wasn't right, as do I. Given the extreme temperature under the gas tank...

    Shouldn't there be clamps ?

    Lifted the tank on my Gen III yesterday. Should there be hose clamps around the main line tank to fuel rail ? Neither end has one and they feel like a barbed fitting to me.

    Need help for a Gen III Rifle windscreen

    They have been "waiting" since the 2013 was released in October 2012. I contacted them too a long time ago. I have a hard time believing they just wait for someone to show up with a bike, and not actively seek one. Rifles competitors have sold a lot of screens in their absence. I was hoping the...

    2013 hard downshifting

    Also as AK suggests, but hold it in while blipping the throttle 3-4 times. Clutch lever on position 1 spreads the plates a little more too, as the piston travels further.

    Throttle body sync/balanced cylinders

    Sorry, I should clarify. The first step in doing the pre 2013 RCDUA TDS is to close all the air screws, so this white one on the 13 will have to be closed if we follow procedure. After getting the butterflies parrallel at around 4k, by adjusting those throttle valve screws that we are also not...

    Throttle body sync/balanced cylinders

    Wondering what balancing tool to buy and I just watched the motion pro video https://www.oemcycle.com/Item/product/900127976/?utm_source=BNGA&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=14271933523&utm_campaign=1706881017 This guy only balances at idle, and he is not real definitive about just what he is...

    Throttle body sync/balanced cylinders

    So did you screw the white head air screw that "cannot be adjusted" home along with the others before starting the procedure. Was it installed with Loctite from the factory perhaps ?

Hopefully ill have the same result as you (fingers crossed) - ill order the rear tire if it does, and burn these bridgestones Haha ! Early in...
