    Wanted - Gen 2 stock seat for Russell Conversion

    HI all, looking for a stock Gen 2 seat (preferable both halves) to send off to Russell Cycle Products. My dad just got a left-over 2012, and I've advised him to fix the seat ASAP. He's a wise man, so he listened. Lemme know what you got and how much you want for it! Dan ETA: I'm trying to...

    Stock dog bone length?

    On the rear arm drawing, there is a part (actually two of them) called Arm 1. Some refer to them as dog bones. They are the links that connect bottom of the suspension assembly to the rear arm. I've suspected that the links that came with the bike when I bought it used are a little long...

    Holeshot system: Gen 1 and Gen 2 the same?

    Okay, I give up. Searched on google, searched on forum, even visited a wise guy in the Himalayas. All I want to know is, the Holeshot system for the FJR, is it the same for a Gen 1 and a Gen 2? I sent a question to Dale Walker, but since he's the only one who answers his e-mails, I'm not sure...

    Crashed today

    Oh. My. God. My back hurts. My sunuvabitch Arabian/paint decided to go for a little run with me on his back and without my permission. :angry2: When he reached a fence, he went sharp left (I didn't know he could cut like that! :o ) and I did not. I landed flat on my back from about 5...

    Critique - how I handled sand in a curve

    Not sure that this is the right place to present this, but here goes. A few days ago, I was taking a fairly leisurly ride through some familiar territory. I was in some hilly, twisty terrain approaching a right-hander posted 25 mph. Visibility around this curve is limited. I was going just...

    Size 13 Boots

    Looking for a set of waterproof boots, size 13. I like Sidi because of their reported comfort and quality, plus they seem a bit more streamlined than Alpinestars. I am open to similar high quality boots.

    CO settings

    During a recent tech day, I adjusted my CO settings +7 in an attempt to smooth out the at-idle miss sound and 3400 rpm surging. Didn't quite do the trick. I wanted to add more to the settings, but the settings had been adjusted before, and I didn't know by how much. A few months ago I took...

    Gen I ignition switch failure

    So there I am, on my way home after a delightful breakfast at the Lawn Fire Company. About three seconds before I was to make a right turn in a residential area, I got a complete loss of power. I pulled in the clutch lever and guided the Feej over to the curb. Man, glad that didn’t happen...

    My first long trip on the Feej

    So I took a little trip recently. Rode from Lancaster, PA to Boone, North Carolina (505 miles) to meet my dad. Met him there on a Sunday afternoon at the Super 8. It started raining Sunday evening. Stayed in the freakin hotel room all night because of the rain. Oh, I was geared up, but the...

    Looking at a 98 GSX-R 750

    Hi, I'm asking for opinions on this bike: 98 GSX-R I've never ridden one, but I'ma throw a leg over it on Wednesday. I've read a bit about some early problems with fuel injection on these bikes. I didn't find much info on problems, which makes me think it wasn't a big deal. I read a few...

    Knuckle guards

    After reading this and that about hand guards, I decided to add a set of my own 2nd generation hand guards. They do add some comfort, probably about 5-7 degrees F worth or so. But the reason I'm making this post is to warn those who have aftermarket screens and want to add the hand guards. If...

    Really loud horn install

    Yay another project down! This one was the Wolo Bad Boy air horn (same as Stebel Nautilus minus $15 bucks or so) purchased at Pep Boys. As promised, I DID take some pics! I missed a few good ones, and one did not come out well. But hey, I’m getting better. (Please pat me knowingly on the...

    Check out this website. It is pretty good for finding parts numbers. Has exploded view drawings. You can zoom in and move the drawing around if necessary. I bookmarked it for the just-in-case. Ron Ayers fiche
