    FJRF008: Cam Chain Tensioner Survey

    Not sure of the dot color. Forgot to mention that I had it replaced when valves where checked at 30,000 miles. Engine swap is not my thing. Always said when this bike was dead I would never own another. But was planning on this one for another 5 years.

    GEN II headlight access

    Bulbs can be changed from the top without removing anything. I'm a big guy (6'5" 300lb 2xl gloves) with big hands and can do it.

    Gen 2 brake bleed procedure

    Can the procedure become a sticky somewhere or listed in the common questions area? Might help a few people in the future. Especially if they suck at searches like I do.

    Metallic Noise - Timing Chain or Transmission?

    Man that sucks. For some reason I thought the 09's had the green dot from factory. When I had valves checked I told the dealer to check my tensioner and replace it if blue. My bike is an 09. He said mine was okay, no replacement needed. Hope it all works out for ya.

    Cold Starting

    If battery is needed I would recommend a Yuasa. I have had the best luck with them than any other. Of course they usually more expensive but over the life of the battery it's something I willing to pay.
