    Fatter Grips

    I'm in the throws of needed maintenance and up-grading some farkles on my trusty Gen 1. One chore was to replace a pair of old solid rubber convex Grand Prix grips (Beemer boys loved them) that had worn flat in spots. They were shaped like the old Norton soft balloon grips sans the air...

    Rostra Accessory speed sensor, normally open or closed switch.

    I have ramping up for several mods/additions on my non-ABS '04 FJR for the last couple of months; so much to do and so little time. One of the tasks is to pull the old Audiovox CC-100 unit that I installed about twelve years ago. It worked great for about four years and 15K mi. and then...

    Dead on the road

    Three hours into a trip on my '04 FJR to LA, I pulled into a gas stop. Bike had been running perfectly. Filled up and went to start the FJR; nothing. Tried everything; no gauges, no lights, no starter, nothing. Took the cover off the battery and jumped wired it from a car. Started right up...

    CCS-100 Quit working

    The symptoms described are similar to what occured on my 2004 with a CC1 unit. I checked all the usual possibilities suggested by the board members, including the electronic readings. The servo valves all tested ok. Everything checked out OK, but as a last measure I shot a hefty dose of engine...

    Super Brace Pros & Cons

    I recently was at a dealer getting my "Ticker" fixed ($3200) and the forks serviced so I asked the shop guy who owns a '05 FJR about putting on a fork brace. He said it was a great improvement so I ordered a Super Brace to put on the bike. I am a little leary about the fork tube protector in as...

    Audiovox CCS-100

    After working great for 6 yrs, my audiovox cruise control dropped out on me while I was driving home from the Yama dealer after a ticker fix. Always ran perfectly. After about and hour on the road it just stopped working. Got the bike home and pulled the plastic, tested all the leads for both...

    Ticker valve guide replacements

    Thanks to all for the feedback. The idea about buying a used head sounded ok, but it might turn out to be a ticker too. I'll give Zack at Roseville another call and see what he thinks. I might even have a go at it myself (With Meticulous Metal doing the head work). Would be a good learning...

    Ticker valve guide replacements

    I live in the Sierra foothills, Nevada City to be exact. Just put the bike in for the 24K valve check and the dealer smiled at at me as he was telling me I had a "ticker". Never heard anything before 22K and even then wasn't sure what it was. Researched it on the net and was told by Yamaha...

    Gaging Group Buy Interest

    The kit I had on the ZX11 had a small (3/4" square) cool-lookin satellite switch with a long jacketed wire that attached to the cockpit cowl right next to the gauges. You could mount it wherever you wanted with a stick velcro patch. The switch capsule had a micro thumb wheel reostat on the...

    Gaging Group Buy Interest

    The custom gauge faces look trick, but my interest was in visibility. The ones that have the entire face lit with a black needle and numbers is much more readable at night. Being in my early sixties it is both trick and a safety concern. the improvement in visual discrimination was phenomenal...
