    Fuel filler cap

    Did a search but found nothing similar so.. as usual after my 04 FJR had stood for a long time (since September), the fuel filler was jammed. The key is normally free to turn but the catch on the bottom jams. 3 in 1 and brute force eventually opened it but the key always suffers. I was...

    How quick is your FJR?

    Ooooohhhh mine is so much faster than that. 0-60 in, well button was too slow, 0-100 too busy trying to get the 0-60. 1/4 as before. Top had to hit the brakes due to looking at the watch for the 0-60. 637lbs, you not seen my beer belly?

    After the tick cure.

    In my case they took the whole engine out, I know cos I saw it on the bench. Sequence I don't know but the guy that did it has access to all the necessary data and is a good mechanic.

    After the tick cure.

    Ok all mounting bolts are tight. Thing is that all the vibrations seem to come from the exhaust. If I feel about the engine seems to have no vibrations at all, touch the exhaust and it is like a can full of angry wasps. Is that normal? I need to get some one to ride it who thinks there bike...

    After the tick cure.

    OK so fairing lowers off tomorrow, anyone got a schematic with all the mounts showing and the torques? I know it's left side first. The ones with the pinch bolts? What's the procedure here? is it loosen pinch bolt, tighten main bolt then re-secure pinch bolt. I am reasonably good with...
