What did you do to your FJR today?

[PhilJet09]

FINALLY got my Tag-Along Tank fully installed, plumbing and wired. I spent a lot of time figuring out the best way to run the fuel and power lines. It isn't ideal, but it's as close as this mortal can get.

Technically it was yesterday, but 600-mi service and had the dealer throw on the Helibar riser while it was in there. I don't seem to have time to personally do much of anything anymore, so that was 2 labor hours well-spent based on the ride home.

 

[Bungie]

Took Line for her first ride of the year (I always wait until I knock the winter rust off).

Penske shock NEEDS a refurb. I put the original shock back on the bike until I can get it done - yech! When I took it off, I decided to check the three pivots. The shorter rear one was good - just regreased. The middle where the dogbones attach wasn't in good shape. I removed it and cleaned up the sleeve. (which was a bitch to get out) I probably should replace the needle bearings but settled for a liberal greasing for now. The top one moved freely and I didn't feel like trying to remove it so I called it good enough. I don't have any available means of supporting the bike to remove the center stand to get at the top bolts.

Returning to the Darkside; at least for part of the season.

I installed my new to me CeeBaileys tinted windshield. I ate some Tootsie Rolls while I did it. It is AWESOME!!

Now, I just gotta find time for a ride.

Fz1 fuse block installed under the seat in the center tray.

Working on wiring LED Rider LR4 with Skene 175A but need to know which wires on the LR4 are hot and which are ground, I have blue and brown leads to work with.

Wires routed up the right side for both the Adaptive 2.0 Radar detector and the TomTom GPS, will also run the LR4 power and ground up that side as well once I figure out which wires are hot.

Snowing outside, predicting 20" now, Blizzard warnings north and east of here.

New T30's front and back, pulled final drive for full service (new oil and moly60 on the splines) . Universal joint cleaned and splines lubed. New oil and filter (trying castrol RS 4T this time) . New emgo air filter.

Ready for annual trip to Canada. Bike back to 100 percent.

586 mile, three Tour of Honor sites, new wheels work great, and so does the Laam seat.

My daugters "friend" (or whatever she refers him as) and I met last night. Nice kid - very respectful and polite. Hugely talented. Carpentry, welding, mechanics - u name it. Rides a cbr1000rr ('08 I believe). I invited him to take a ride with me this morning. We had about 150 miles of curvy back country.

The kid knows how to ride and he's got a 25 year old set of nads too. When I would get to a curvy road, I'd wave him around. Then it was bye bye baby.

The feej ain't no sport bike.....

It was a busy week at school and Friday night my brother texted me and said there was a poker game at his house Saturday at 7:30. I had chores, honey do lists, and homework, so there was no way I was going to be able to split away from home. Plus, Sunday was mothers day and it would be bogus to not be there Sunday morning at church with the family. About 3:30, I was wrapping up some of my duties and looked at the weather. It was still nice out, and I hatched a plan. Leave by 4:00, ride the 230 miles to my brothers, play poker til 2:30 am or so, catch a few hours of sleep and leave as the sun rises and be at church when the family got there at 10:30.

Mission accomplished. No tickets, no accidents, I only won 29 dollars, but that paid for the gas round trip. The FJR makes it all possible. Thank u Yamaha.

Finished Gen2 engine SWAP to Gen1 AND road it 198 miles.

Gave Ginger her "600" mile TBS check at about 2500 miles. 3 and 4 cylinder were about 2cm higher in vacuum, but adjusted easily down. 1 was the white painted air screw. I'm sure other guys have found this out, but by temporarily disconnecting some of the pair piping it was a whole let easier getting 1 and 2 vacuum caps off and back on.

I'm relatively new around here, but I believe general practice is to just remove ALL the PAIR tubing as soon as possible. In fact, WynPro makes some plates to replace some of the PAIR hardware and clean it up even more.

Yep, will get around to that sooner or later. But it took like 15 seconds to loosen 2 pair tubes to allow easier acces to 1 and 2 vacuum caps.

Last Friday I asked Dave @ WynPro for a Big Foot and the PAIR Plates.

Today (monday) I got them @ 11 am. Not bad for a part time gig! Great products!

Discovered my '07 OEM top case is breaking

. Shit happens I guess, it's been a good one, but I'm still not happy about it. Chances are it may have been abused a couple times

. So now I have to find something else. Money is definitely a consideration- don't wanna cheap out but can't waste any either. Thinking about a Shad SH50.

Mine now inside

And out

 

[PhilJet09]

Put gas in it. 439 miles since the last time I had to do that.

Rode it to work today... it's cloudy, windy and a little rainy here today...not very nice.

 

[Redfish Hunter]

Rode it over to Dad's house to see the Givi V46 and SR357 he installed. He could not make up his mind about a top box so I made it up for him. I dropped the stuff off at his house a couple weeks ago and he actually installed it himself. While I was there I pulled the brake and clutch lever to clean and lube, lots of wear on the brass bushing that actuates the clutch master cylinder. I have not been very good about this little maintenance chore and it showed today.

I took a few pics of Dad's '07 with the Givi V46 and SR357 along with my '15 with the SHAD SH39. There is no doubt that the Givi is the stronger more robust installation. The boxes themselves are about equal on quality and function.

 

[El Toro Joe]

Rode it to work again...35 degrees this morning, with today's high around 66 and sunny.
