Plug Changes

[RadioHowie]

If you read an actual manual from a US model instead of trying to justify your lack of maintenance with some web sourced pdf file, you would see that it does in fact state:
Adjust gap and clean every 4,000 miles

Replace every 8,000 miles (13,000km) or 12 months

If you don't want to do it, don't do it, but don't post inaccurate information that mislead others.

Note: Your picture also states that starting at 50,000km that maintenance cycle repeats....blah blah

Well, thats wrong too. The US manual states, from 24,000 mi (37,000km) or 36 months, the cycle repeats starting from 8,000 mil (13,000km) or 12 months

So I guess you should Fess Up again

Here's what I'll fess up to...you're a ******* *******, okay?

You should have at the very least PM'd me to ask me about my source of info, or do just a little tiny bit of investigation before accusing me of phonying up and posting inaccurate information.

Here's the link I used for the photo I posted. https://ymenvom.nl/manuals/U5JWE3.PDF

On page 44, Section 6-2 "Periodic Maintenance and Repair". Guess what it shows? Exactly the same snapshot I took and posted earlier.

Guess whose website that is? It's ******* Yamaha's! Why don't you go tell THEM they got it wrong, you ********.

Now I will give you that it's not a U.S. Manual. It's a "World" manual. It's people like you that make the rest of the world hate us Americans, with your ignorance and arrogance.

"..if you read an actual manual from a U.S. model..."

**** me! I guess the rest of the FJR-owning world should fall on their knees before your greatness, you parochial *******?

Don't ******* accuse me of posting incorrect information. How do you know your U.S. Manual isn't incorrect information? Yamaha sells a lot more FJRs, combined, to the rest of the world than they do in the U.S., so I'm guessing the "World" manual is more correct than the one-off they print for a handful of bitchers and whiners like you.

Do your own research before you start accusing others, you ******* halfwit.

Oh, to paraphrase odot, now you can lick my salty balls, you smarmy little colon sucker!

Do I sound pissed? You betcha, Sally, and I expect at the very least for my Warn-O-Meter to go up, or worse, get "put in the corner" for a week for pointing out your deficiencies to the rest of the forum. Personal attacks and all that, y'know.

FYYFF

We need to see the mathematical conversion chart

Check my avatar, it's in there! :huh:

That's math? Damn, I thought it was just a bicycle seat... :blink:

I didn't realize correcting your information from the Netherlands was a personal attack, It was not intended to be so. I merely said you are potentially misleading others who own US model FJRs and would like to follow the proper maintenance schedule.

I don't need to do my research, my bike came with the proper manual. This has nothing to do with politics so I won't even bite on that.

I didn't see the need to PM you to ask you where your data came from for the same reason you didn't PM me (the originator of the thread you hijacked) to ask where my maintenance schedule came from.

I'm not going to retaliate to your grade school insults in fear that it will further infuriate you and you'll take it out on those around you.

I can't image how you'd handle a real insult...wow. Relax, its an internet forum.....

First of all, Einstein, it isn't "my" information, it's Yamaha's. You keep forgetting that. And how can accurately representing what the company who builds the motorcycle says is the proper maintenance schedule be in any way "potentially misleading"? You really have a reading comprehension problem, don't you? I don't give a snowball's chance in hell of which manual is supposedly right or wrong, but for you to continue to claim Yamaha's own publication is "potentially misleading" is either the height of hubris, or just plain bullheaded ignorance.

"If you read an actual manual from a US model instead of trying to justify your lack of maintenance with some web sourced pdf file..."

"If you don't want to do it, don't do it, but don't post inaccurate information that mislead others.

I'd call both those sentences you wrote personal attacks. And remember, it isn't "my" information, it's Yamaha's.

I didn't see the need to PM you to ask you where your data came from for the same reason you didn't PM me (the originator of the thread you hijacked) to ask where my maintenance schedule came from.

Well, sparky, since this ISN'T the thread you originated, your point is ********. Iggy split this off from the original thread two weeks ago, and it has absolutely nothing to do with questioning where your maintenance schedule came from, unlike you questioning where I got MY information from...like I had found some ginned-up PDF file and copied it, rather than going to the official source, Yamaha, and making a snapshot of the offical service manual page.

I asked a very simple, and rather generic, question "Isn't a plug change at 9k miles a bit extreme?" and used a snapshot of a Yamaha service manual page as the reasoning behind my question, which YOU turn in to a smartass remark about my personal maintenance habits AND accuse me of posting misleading information.

You pretty much call me a liar and a thief, for passing along ill-gotten, questionable information and seem surprised I'm insulted.

You are incredibly obtuse, aren't you?

Um, nutters?, toe?.....there's a fish on line one.

Seems this thread can't be discussed without resorting to person attacks...so it's closed.
