I'm sorry, I must have been thinking of one of my other vehicles. I didn't go pull mine but I looked through the shop manual. I could have sworn it was just like the one in my SAAB and had a ratcheting arm on it. Sorry about the confusion.

Now, I've been gone a long time, and I admit I didn't read every post in this thread, but won't a first gen tensioner fit? It's ratcheted, or were they redesigned too?

Try pluggung the hose that runs from the airbox to the exhaust reeds on top of the valve cover and see if that helps.

I hate to even ask this question. Assuming this is on your own dime and you decide to rebuild your head, you going with stock Yamaha parts or you going with aftermarket valves guides and seals? Someone said a gen II head will bolt right on a gen 1 block? that real and for true?

So my question is why open both sides and not just one large hole along the back? I would think you could even find a rectangular K&N to fit. Then it would just be using some C-channel rivited and siliconed on to make a mounting sleeve that the filter slides in. Then you would have a nice...

Well, I jumped from the first page to back here so forgive me if it's already been covered. Everyone seems to go for the dished saddles but personally I like the shape of my old 83 gs 750e better. It had a more rounded profile. I don't tense up, unless I'm freezing cold and the edges of the seat...

The "Tomcat" design had a dot sticker on the back. I assume the stealth design is at least dot.

heck this sweet lid out. Coming to a head near me soon https://www.costco.com/Browse/ProductSet.as...&lang=en-US

and my two cents. When you blip the trottle, you reduce the amount of vacuum in the intake tract. This has the effect of leaning out the mixture for the first revolution because the fuel injection has already injected the gas into the intake tract based on the last known readings of closed...

I constantly see mistaken comments about the "Faster Silver" color for FJR's. Evidently there are still some people that are unaware that 03 Liquid Silver is THE FASTER SILVER. Now I don't know how to make this FACT and plainer. Maybe this needs to be pinned somewhere, or added to the page...

Are you talking mounting radar "jammers" in the headlights? It won't do you any good when they aim the laser at you. You may as well just get a decent detector. Strangely enough I have never gotten a ticket I didn't deserve, and I have deserved a lot more than I've got. That last part probably...

Not to one up you, but.... Where the writer falls asleep, I was wide awake for the lower GI I had done. Lying flat on my back in the sadistic gown with my knees bent for easy access, I see the nurse, an attractive woman about 28 plug a small hose about 2/3rds the size of your pinky into a...

Back when the bike and the forum was young, GPS systems had two parts, the screen and the reciever. I remember seeing pictures of the recievers mounted under the seats, they required monthly fees etc... What about the current batch? Are they self contained? Do they require any subscription...

Yes dear I rented the vacation nest. Yes dear it has the sauna. Yes dear it has the vibrating bed. We just have to bring our own food and linnens.

Feel free to crush away. Spiders aren't insects, and insects don't, by definition, have 8 legs. I hate, yet am fascinated by spiders. When I worked at plastics manufacturing facility, all manner of creatures would be drawn inside by the lights at night. A very large wolf spider (guessing) came...

That's the kind of gay that gives fags a bad name.

I like the stickers. Makes it look new. I'm shtoopid though.

In the service manual they say that if the runout is over the spec to remove the rotor and rotate it one bolt hole and retighten and check. FYI mine were perfect.

Well, what I want to do is use only the bare engine block. I'm ass-u-me-ing that I can unbolt the clutch slave from the 03 block and bolt it on the 06+ block. It's just pushing on a rod that goes through the block. The fuel injection, ecu, would all be kept from the 03. My concern is if the...

Track school at Mid Ohio will be my gift to myself this year. I'll be taking my BMW there to kick some ass. Should be a lot of fun.
