    As close to windshield nirvana as I am going to get

    Thanks for the suggestion on the tilt. Upon looking at it, it seems that putting spacers between the plastic and the bracket would only put stress on the sheild. Maybe other generations have a different mounting system. I already ordered the 15" shield from Ceebaileys, just waiting for it to...

    As close to windshield nirvana as I am going to get

    In this old post a couple people mention smaller screens. I've considered cutting 3" off my stock screen but if there are aftermarket small screens I'd rather do that. Suggestions?

    Engine oil viscosity

    New oil in and transmission is working perfectly again. I will just consider this a "engine flush".

    Engine oil viscosity

    It was Castrol my oil that I got from cycle gear. 10w-30 "4T" It is draining out of the crankcase now, getting ready to put some Yama lube in MC oil that is

    Engine oil viscosity

    I went for a short ride yesterday and did notice the clutch slip slightly once or twice from a dead stop. It was more of a single stutter which it never did before. Guess its time to drain it and refill with 10w-40.

    Engine oil viscosity

    Thanks HotRodZilla.... I thought it might be OK, but there is always that dark corner of the brain that says "you know, if you ride it like this it seize and cost 2 trillion dollars to replace the engine".

    Engine oil viscosity

    I have a 2010 FJR... the owner's manual says to use 20W-50 or 20W-40 depending on temperature. The dealer says that it outdated and to use 10W-40 as it is a newer spec for our engine. I just changed my oil, but all the local shop had was 10W-30 in stock. Is there a danger to using this on...

    Engine paint question

    Is the paint on the engine side cover powder coat or regular paint? When I bought the bike it had a lot of pits on the front of the stator cover and was thinking about re-finishing next time I drain the oil. Thanks

    Iphone not charging from glove box outlet

    Thanks for all the posts. I went to my local CycleGear store and they had a sale (isn't there always a sale?) on 2 Amp USB connector with a pigtail that I an just plug into my existing one on the battery. Tomorrow I hope to get it all mounted.

    Iphone not charging from glove box outlet

    I've mounted my i phone for use as a GPS and ran the power cord through the bottom of the glove box. (thank you Yamaha for that nice hole in the bottom with a grommet)! Odd thing is, while riding the phone actually drains power rather than charging. The screen says it is charging, so I'm...

    Mirror disassembly

    I am going to remove and paint my mirrors as they are scuffed (prior owner must have rubbed against walls while moving the bike around??). They are pretty easy to get off the bike, but does anyone know how to remove the mirror and pivoting assembly from the painted housing? I could mask them...

    Suspension settings

    I have a 2010 F JR and set up the suspension like a guy I know my size. The "preload"or suspension height in front is set to the second ring from the top. The black caps on top are set to six clicks from all the way screwed in and the ones at the bottom of the forks are eight clicks backed out...

    windscreen motor

    Fixed!! It wasn't clean enough. I had to use a scotchbrite pad and basically polish the metal and edges. I did all this with the power on so I could keep testing. Funny thing is all this seems to have reset my odometer to 66 miles. ???

    windscreen motor

    I now have the whole thing apart It seems that the right side guide is dragging and vibrating. I have tried lubricating with silicone which did not work. I've tried realigning the guide and that did not work. It is only dragging as it moves downward. Once it starts moving downward that part of...
