Yes, searched. No, I didn't find what i wanted. OK, so we know that steering head bolt is on tight. Right now I've got the bars removed and the bike on the center stand. I need to get the steering head off to put my GenMar risers on. The problem is that with the bike up the whole front end...

I was doing my early season maintenance today and went in and took a peek at the air filter. First off, what a bitch to get to it. Anywyay, I noticed a gray tube with a 45 deg cut at the unattached end that traces back and I think connects to the gas tank. It at least clamps on to something...

Clicky... Yes, I know this was from AmsOil's site and they "won" the competition, but I found this read interesting. The interesting thing is that Yamalube, although the 10w-50 version and not the recommended 20w-40 version, scores pretty terribly in this study. Thoughts? Jestal still around...

Hi all. Long time, no post. I've been busy with planning a wedding and blah, blah, blah. Anyway, the subject says it all. I cannot get the effing oil filter off. Any advice? Yes, I am turning it counter-clockwise. This damn thing doesn't want to budge. I've tried the screwdriver trick...

OK, to clarify, I KNOW for a fact the lead bike was a silver FJR. Didn't get a good enough look to tell the year. Second bike I believe was also a FJR, I know it was silver. Ya'll were heading north while my blue 06 was heading southbound. Riding as a pair, near Flint, MI about 5:45PM today...

Yep... used search. Windscreen motor doesn't return much more than standard windscreen discussions. Anyway, when I raise/lower the windscreen I get this squeak/rubbing sound along the lines of what you'd get if you ran your hand across a nicely waxed fender or something like that. I tightened...

Because stupid shit surfaces. So I was about to do the TBS. Undid the two black clips by the seat, took out the two bolts that hold the tank down, then lifted. Now, I set the tank back down and the holes for the bolts for the tank and the holes for the clips are all off by about 1/4 inch...

Yes, I dig that feature. I'm an IT nerd so I find the auto down of the windshield nifty. So, since I like that, I'd rather hook up the "turn on" wire for the fuse plate some place else. What other options are there? I'd REALLY prefer some pics and a good description of where you'd suggest...

Ok, I'm a pictures, not words dude, I guess. I get the part about cutting the tubes in to equal pieces. I get where to put the mercury once I get to that point. What I don't get is what I am doing with the restrictors, which I assume are the tiny white pieces. It says shove them in 3/4. Ok...

Just using Givi as an example. So, I need the case. I need the Givi plate, AND then I need another plate to attach the Givi plate? That makes so damn little sense. Either correct me if I'm wrong on this or explain to me why the hell I have to buy two plates. Explaining meaning why Givi...

Last Wednesday the saddles went to Billy Mayer out by TWN. They're there in his shop right now in some state, be it the same way I left it, half desconstructed, half reconstructed, I've got not clue. But I have no saddle, so I have no ride. So that's 6 days now I haven't moved my pretty blue...

Three days ago I write, ask a question about the bar ends, tell them I want to buy so call me. I get an email answering my question, but that's it. I write back yesterday. No callback. Wrote today. No callback. There is no way to order on the website. The've got till 5PM EST tonight or...

*sigh* So I'm down getting ready to do the oil. Wrestle the bike up on the center stand, get the 17mm ratched head, and begin to turn... well... more like yank on the wrench with no result. So I think, hmmm... the bolt is upside down, so maybe I'll push the other way. No go. So, the oil...

Well, no good local saddle customizers in Michigan that I know of, so my options are a standard Corbin or do a Mayer seat with me on the bike and mail everything in. So... who's done a mail-in seat? Anyone? How well did it work out? And if anyone knows of a good saddlesmith within about 200...

Starting in Grand Rapids, up to Mackenaw, over the bridge, through the UP, down through Wisconsin all the way to Chicago. Would like scenic, if possible. Anyone got a route?

... but how do I get the mirrors to fold in? Just pull? They don't seem to want to move. Also, any tips on getting the bike on the center stand? When I try the center stand seems to want to slide on my driveway. Laugh away... laugh away... :ph34r:

Anyone here? No idea on year. I drove by a parked one and said "hey, that's a Feejer!" :D

That says it all. About to do an oil change with the Mobile 1 108 filter, which is the small one. The filter I have on the bike (same one that came when I picked it up) is longer. What's the length matter? Does it? Looking for a tech explanation.

Can someone design JUST a mountable backrest that I don't need a $150 plate or $350 bag to use? Just something that bolts in and gives my pillion something to lean on. Please? Anyone? If I was crafty I'd do it and make.... biiiiiiilllions!

The descrption says it all. I want NO input on when, how, why, or where to change my oil. I can't find 20w-40 outside of the moto shop and that's expensive crap for the Yama lube. Funny, they phuk ya on the price... think they use their lube to make it easier? Side question is if I can't...
