    Split: Off-Topic about Octane

    It's funny how some people think a higher octane rating is better, 93 burns slower than 89 and is meant for high compression engines and those with compressors and turbochargers. If an engine is designed for 89 that's what works best. I doubt Yamaha did studies on fuel but used 89 to tune the...

    Need Bad-Ass Radiator Guard

    I have the dis-pleasure of replacing my '05 radiator due to 3 rock punctures. I had the Cox mesh thing but obviously need something in stamped stainless steel for these Texas chip-seal roads. Meissner has one, $150.00 in black. Any other suggestions ?

    Blueflame help

    OK fellow Blueflame Brothers, does your final install look symetrical length-wise ? I received my c/f dual ovals long ago and am finally healthy enough to start rebuilding my '05. I did not receive instructions (don't need 'em for 3 bolts) but have a length issue.......no not that. The stock...

    Perfect Plugs = Non-Ticker ?

    I just performed the first TBS and spark plug change at 14,180 miles. The old plugs were PERFECT, all the same color and wear. Probably did not need replacing. My queary : Would the perfect condition of the old spark plugs suggest that '05 FJR #3300 has a healthy valve train, and dare I say a...

    Odo Reading @ 10k

    Bash me for my laziness, you guys are faster than the search feature. My odo reads 0 10247 after turning 10K. What is the "zero" then a space before the actual odometer reading. lazy-ass Hotboot <_<

    10k And Thrilled

    OK so 2005 FJR #3300 reached 10,000 miles yesterday. I could not be more pleased with this motorcycle. Considering I'm a self-employed workaholic, have an FZ1 also, and picked it up Oct 1, 2004 I am shocked 10K got here so soon. It just grabs me and takes me away, always for hundreds of miles...

    Front Brake Seized

    My front pads adhere to the rotors. This happens after a good washing with water and after the bike sits overnight. Total seizure that requires a good deal of force to break loose. Scared the crap outta me as it feels like someone glued it to the garage floor ! Some history: the first time this...
