    Torque spec for Gen2 front brake reservoir screws (be kind)?

    I suspect that the most common answer to this question will be "snug". That kind of vague instruction absent of a definite standard, though practical for many, can be dangerous for a recovering engr. I have an excellent low range torque wrench that I primarily use on my mtn bike. Thanks!

    Gen II Stock Seat Excellent Condition

    Selling my Gen II stock seat, front and rear, for $125 plus shipping. I bought my bike with 9000 miles on it, but the PO rode it with a RDL seat, so I don't how many of those miles were put on the stocker. From the looks of it, probably very few. I have put 2100 miles on it. It is in...

    An idiot's notes after first Gen2 FJR oil change

    NAPA oil filter is shorter then OEM oil filter, allowing greater clearance for MCL highway peg bracket. My old John Deere oil filter wrench fit, yay! When Yamaha states 4 quarts, they mean not a cc less than that. You might not even want to let it drain excessively if all you have is 4...

    Large Boot Ergonomics

    I have put a couple thousand miles on my 09AE since purchasing it, and seem to have somewhat of a problem in placing my size 13 boots on the pegs. Too far forward, and they are over the brake and shifter. Too far back and the heel of my left boot depresses the centerstand, and sometimes...

    Gen II under seat storage

    I am just becoming familiar with my new-to-me 09AE. I like to take advantage of all available storage space. The space beneath the pilot seat holds what appears to be the CPU, but there is more than enough clearance to also place a Slime compresser on top of the CPU. I am tempted, but also...

    Has anyone thought of an AE auto-downshift mod?

    Next week I will fly out and ride back my new-to-me 09AE. I hope that my question will not seem silly once I am actually experienced with exactly how the AE operates. Since the logic exists to flash the gear indicator when a downshift is needed, I wonder if that same logic could be used to...
