I spoke to the R&D and Tech Support Folks at Race Tech today and here is what they had to say: The FJR fork springs have a slight taper, and the narrower end is supposed to go in first and sit on top of the damper, just like the factory springs. No washer should be needed. They also said that...

I just had a serious front suspension problem with my recently installed Race Tech springs. After installing the springs, I decided to go on a test ride to Laughlin, NV. After about 400 miles I was returning to Yuma when my front suspension completely collapsed. I didn't hit a pothole or...

I can use a little help here. I can't get my Zumo 660 and my Chatterbox GMRS- X1 Bluetooth to communicate wirelessly. I can get them to recognize each other and I've gotten the Zumo to say it is connected to the Chatterbox but I can't hear anything (music, phone, or directions) when they are...

I took everyone's information and returned to the dealership, ready for them to correct the problem, but they still refused. I then called Yamaha Customer Service who then contacted the dealership. Next thing I know I get a phone call from my dealership's service manager who just became the...

My family and I live in Yuma. It shouldn't be a problem to take you out for a ride one day. Do you have all your riding gear? I know AZ doesn't have a helmet law but I'm a stickler for proper riding gear. Just let me know.

Has anyone thoroughly addressed the rekey issue? The only dealership in my area has basically told me to suck it up and deal with two keys. All of the locksmiths in the area have told me that they can't get the wafers I need and that I have to get them from Yamaha. Can someone confirm this...

Or get you run over by a road raged soccer mom. :dead: Just don't let them catch up to you.

Well that makes things very clear. Thank you all for the information. It is much appreciated.

That is where I have the question. If I am running, say 4 accessories, each pulling 15 amps, will it blow the 30-amp main fuse?

I'm preparing to install the Blue Sea 6-circuit fuse block myself. Since the maximum rating of the fuse block is 100 amps. should I install a 100 amp relay?

Don, I'm also heading to Sturgis in August. I plan on being there for the first few days of the rally (Aug 4th to Aug 7th) and then down to Huron, SD to visit family. Perhaps we can meet along the way and ride together. I will be coming from VA and my wife will be following with a truck and...

Pics of the tires as promised. I've never seen a tire before where the changes in compound is so obvious.

Well, I just picked up a set of Roadsmarts at my local Cycle Gear for a good price ($250). There is a very noticeable stripe on the back tire where the compound changes. I can take some pics and post them if anyone is interested. I'll be putting the new tires on in a couple weeks and begin...

Does anyone have experience with the Chatterbox GMRS X1 Bluetooth?

I am currently the Maintenance/Material Control Officer (MOS 6004) for Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron 774 out of Norfolk, VA. We fly the CH-46E. I've been in since 1987 and have been at Norfolk for two years.

I concur. Something else to consider is that the FJR is a super-sport touring bike. If you look at sport bikes, they all have small windshields. I believe the windshield size of the FJR is part of the SPORT style side of this great bike.

Definitely go with Dillon if you have the money. If you want to go for cheap, RCBS and Lee have some decent models.

A few years ago I had some older teens throw some rocks at my Jeep. I turned around and chased after them across some farmer's field. One of them got away but the other got a beating he probably still remembers. I am definitely not a pacifist.

Ditto to El Gordo's comments. I have them and they are made of a harder material than the stock grips. If you solder your connections as I did, they should only take a couple of hours to install, depending on how you wire your power source. With them, I use non-insulated leather gloves in...

It was 78 and sunny for me so I went for a 200-mile ride after work. Sorry about your bad luck.
