Called NGK. They recommended SIMR8A9. $60 for 4. Haven’t put them in yet. Anybody use them.

The only thing that will cure the 45 HS is proper alignment of front end( fork tubes and grip on front axle). I ran around with my anal orifice in pucker mode for 10 years before I figure this shit out. Tire selection will never do.

I got 8800 miles out of my last T30 EV0 and not a hint of 45 HS. The tire looked for shit but no head shake. Have 6K on current and steady as a rock. I like the tire.

Tried Iele's tip. Pull the clutch in and let it coast.( at speed and keep the RPM up). Tried it just a few times and what a fucking difference it made. None of that clutch soak bullshit for me. I owe Iele A 12 pack. I don't deliver.

There has been tons written about this topic. Google 45 mph head shake. I had the head shake for at least 30 years. I don't have it anymore. In my humble opinion it's all in front end alignment. And specifically fork tube torque of the triple clamp. Torque down the lower triple clamp pinch...

Had some really smooth motor scooters. Could find vibration on all of them if I fixated on it. Put the death grip on those bars and you will feel vibrations. Relax and forget about it and the vibration will go away. Do your casual maintenance and forget about it. Find the sweet spot. Vibration...

It's a two-man job.

Someone got a hell of a deal. I've had mine for 15 years and believe me they are unbreakable.

I don't ride in groups any more. Shit happens in groups . It's a hard sell with old friends, but that's the way it is.

I think we're talking about the sweet spot. Where ever vibration is at a minimum. That's the ticket.

I have a 09 with 013 forks. I put the 09 forks on the 013 with AK-20s. Both scooters have Penskes. I'm always amazed when I take the 09 out and the excellent feel. If I were starting from scratch, I'd go 013 forks with a Penske. The 013 forks are not half bad.

My theory; 50% of amatures and 20% of pros fuck this job up. (At least have complications). I have done 5 valve shim under (Gensis) before and it was a waste. Going in after .001 or .002 isn't worth it. Haven't seen a FJ burnt valve. I'm an amature!

Done 200k on Fjs. Never had a valve cover off. If they blow up, will hitch to town,

Heat! Lots of fucking heat! Sun works best. I have all of the goodies for changing, but I let the sun dictate when I do tire mounting.

Went to the rally in 1971 for first time. Got there on Wed. and not a person in CIty park. It was a family outing. Picked up a gal in Spearfish canyon. Dated her for years. Times change.

Take off some weight.

I got snow on WCP in June. Scared the shit out of me. Had a hell of a time getting down.

Rolling off the throttle past the stop doesn't work very consistant on my 013. I have to give it quite a snap for the cc to disingage. Have taken most of the freeplay out to the throttle. I'm sure there is an adjustment, but haven't found it. I don't use it, but would like to tweek it up.

I recently bought a Motion Pro digital air pressure gauge. What a mind fucker this thing has turned out to be. I've seen a 4 psi. drop overnight when a weather front has come through. Leads me to think that barametric pressure has as much influence as temp.. I'm giving air pressure more...

I did Sat.morning at the 013 SW-FOG and every Gen2 owner I talked to had experienced the Cold Start Syndrome. I threw out the ECU swap thing and then thought, on my way home, where did I get that b.s.. I had fixed the problem with a better battery. My theory is that the Gen2 ECU does not like...
