    just a dumb question "F" on reserve?

    I try to keep at least a half tank of fuel .. This damned ethanol sucks water out of the air and creates all kinds of problems...Running a tank low will let the pump run in air and not cool as well as it would with it submerged in gasoline...

    Bending brake lever

    Installed a pair of footpeg lowering bloks on my 07 FJR..To be comfortable the brake lever needs to be bent out a inch or so...I think the material is a heat treated aluminum casting..Has anyone had any luck reshaping the lever or does it break as I expect it to when trying to bend?? Thanks Ed
