Add me to the long list of those who did the throttle spring unwind, and could not have done so without the excellent photos ! My wrist, in the early stages of carpel tunnel, is very happy ! Thank you !

I check the oil level the same way you do, after the short ride, and on the center stand. Very cool to hear that you are not burning oil after 150K ! This supports my intent to keep my '06 for similar longevity. I do thorough maintenance (myself), by the book.

Thanks for the responses, guys, they were helpful. >> For those who felt the need to educate me to the purpose of the light, notice in my initial post that I made it clear that I knew its purpose. RossKeane: I keep the level at maximum, which maximizes oil cooling You guys might enjoy...

I couldn't find anything on this with a search... When I bought this '06 a few years it has this little issue, which has continued. Purchased at 40K, now 56K. Issue: Once out of about 5 first take-offs of the day, the oil light comes on after 1/4 mile, then goes out a mile later. Does not...

OK, I admit that this mildly interesting topic has gotten rather stretched out, but I'm curious as to who is responsible for getting it re-branded into the "Never-ending, Pointless........threads" ??

Yup, this is the rational that NGK has presented in other formats for checking the gap of their new plugs. Although their machining may be very precise, handling introduces another variable. Humans (!) might even play a part in handling, and we all know what humans are capable of....

I'm about install some NGK Iridium CR8EIX plugs in my '06. The manufacturer indicates that we should not trust the factory set gap, so I've gone on a search for the appropriate gap, able only to find one at Dennis Kirk, which is .031" or 0.8mm. Anyone able to confirm this for sure?

From reading the informative ratings/reviews at Motorcycle Superstore, and viewing pics of it, the EMGO unit comes with 4 little white nylon adjustable restrictors which you have to splice into each rubber vac line. The brass tubes seem to be adapters for other bikes that have holes in the...

Thanks Gents for the responses ! The Tech Day looks cool; I'm reading up on it...

*New Member, First Post* I picked up an '06 a few years ago, which I love. It had 42K, and now 56K. I've got Corbin seats and a power commander. I'm about to do a throttle body synch and plugs. Q #1: The how-to at FJRTech.com says to use the #3 carb as a baseline for all models, but it was...
