    Starter, relay or battery?

    I did not know these things. I've decided to put in a Yubasa next time I am down there. I'll report back when I am done. Thanks all.

    Starter, relay or battery?

    Disclaimer: I posted this on the 'other' forum. I know there are a few here that do not read both. I know I can be long-winded but can't seem to trim it down any more without losing details. There's a similar thread with nearly identical symptoms currently active but not entirely sure we're...

    Newbie needs help.

    When you state "get stuff aligned", what do you mean? I just had my bike all apart. I didn't know there was alignment to check going back together.

    Storage suggestions in San Fransisco

    😜 I'm learning that quickly. Anything I saved on airfare I'm paying in storage! There are a few places that seem to market specifically to two wheels and they're more reason able than regular storage. Most of them are on the treasure island. Moto Haus is interesting as a stand alone facility.

    Storage suggestions in San Fransisco

    Thanks! They got back to me. Probably will go with them.

    Storage suggestions in San Fransisco

    Hi all. Hope this is the correct section for this post. I'm planning my first trip of the year and think I will ultimately end up in San Francisco since surprisingly, flights to and from there to Canada are less than half the price from other spots like Denver, Sacramento and others in a 500...

    Last two questions: reinstalling Penske reservoir and where is this drain tube from ?

    Yup, bike in nearly done after being torn apart, inspected, cleaned etc. Naturally, I have a couple of extra fasteners and other parts: I can't figure where that drain tube comes from. Pretty sure it wasn't alone but beside one or two others but I am coming up short. I had the tank off but that...

    Roger that. As soon as the bike is together. Thanks

    Clevis setting of aftermarket shock and appropriate spring. Penske/Hyperco

    These are the settings direct from invoice from GP suspension. I've never messed with them. On the last rides last year, I noticed the bike really didn't seem to want to stay leaned in a turn, was harder to enter a turn but mostly did not track while in a turn. Also seemed a little bouncy while...

    Clevis setting of aftermarket shock and appropriate spring. Penske/Hyperco

    Couple of questions. Here is the straight-to-the-point version I have a Penske 8983 shock with a Hyperco spring186A1000 (0515). During a recent service, the tech said he felt the spring was too light for me but he isn’t a Penske dealer and the springs he has access to would not fit on the...

    ISO new/used Throttlemeister cruise control

    Hey! Long tome no chat. I haven't been on here in years, eh? I actually like the appearance and feel of the ThrottleM which is why I am looking for it specifically. I've also gotten used to using it after so many years so just going to stick with that. But thanks. A guy on the other forum has a...

    Servicing relay and pivot arm:how to clean and repack

    HaHa. Thanks for the invite. I may not make it this year. Funny, the last time I went on a rally it was in 2014 in Castlegar and we headed up that way. Good times. I'm tuning up the same bike and headed south in a couple weeks never to bring it home again. Aiming for the Keys for the fall then...

    Servicing relay and pivot arm:how to clean and repack

    Hi, folks. I have my 09 with 90,000 miles on it all apart for a good tune up. I'm servicing the rear suspension right now and wondering how you would recommend cleaning all the parts with the bearings in them and what type of grease to use. There is a lot of gunk built up on the relay arm but...

    2009 won't start - just a click

    That's actually really helpful info. I need to find me some more FJR friends that live closer to me. HaHa

    2009 won't start - just a click

    I think I have one of those - the thing with the jaws? Never even used it. Impulse buy on a clearance sale I suspect. Does the starter have to be under load or can you take it out and put in on a bench to test it?
