It is the thermistor, and it's just hanging there, held in by a small zip tie. All good.

R.I.P Ray. You were a solid guy, always quiet, always willing to help. Give Patti a hug for all of us.

Don, it was good seeing the old girl.  Keep her going!

Well, that explains the problem. The canister line is large enough for very small gravel to get sucked into the intake box, resulting in this. Ouch. I think that deer you hit got it's revenge.... I'm thinking we didn't see it as the piston was at top - I do recall a knarly carbon build up we...

I sense a SS1000 in someone's future.......

Don, I had that swing arm off at least once - but that was in 2013? It's not that difficult, and if you're pulling the pumpkin and the shaft, a good part of the work is already done. There's not a lot of movement in the swing arm, so the components rarely show any wear - but I think it's...

Should I mention chill factor?

I've pulled the swing arms off of 6 different FJR's for maintenance - pumpkin goes back on at 30 ft lbs, and no loctite - as per the factory specs. But don't forget the washers when you re-assemble.

She's looking good, Don. Good job.

Ray did an amazing job !!! I'm blown away by it.

Don, I understand you can make make anything from duct tape. Like a hernia truss. Throw in a tie-wrap or two, and you're good to go.

I'm gonna have a drink in honor of Mr. Stanley. This sucks. Bigtime. Dammit. Hal

The only time I've seen this is when the caps were installed out of sequence. Verify position. Then verify tolerances again, paying close attention to the lobe positions when checking clearance. Thirdly, I would suspect that a camshaft bent when being removed/replaced.

Yep. miss Tim a lot. Will be drinking a toast to Tim after dinner tonight. Jeannette will be having a White Russian. I'll be drinking Gentleman Jack. There will be a third rocks glass with Walker Blue Label for Tim. Only the best for him.

I'm thinking you need to read through this ......... https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php/topic/164636-what-if-i-never-do-the-valve-adjustment/

There's also that detent about half way down- a clear sign of not lubricated properly - I would pull the lever assembly, clean everything, and lubeitlubeitlubeit. Then I would check that the rear caliper is indeed actuating the cup, and then I would bleed it again. If that doesn't clear it...

Check the pins in the ECM connector. I know the barbarian mod was done quite some time ago, but I suppose that the lock strip in the connector could possibly started to loosen with all the in/out, resulting in a marginal connection. And the fact that it's fixed itself and that the CO mode...

CARVER. DON'T FUCKING DO THAT. RESEARCH "COMBAT MODE."

How did I miss this? Deja Vu !!! For some reason there's a lot of familiar looking bits and pieces in those pics........
