Sounds like you need to return your defective FJR. Redline should be at 9k, and 2nd gear should get you to just about 90mph. No need for 3rd on the freeway! I like the challenge of always trying to get quick and seamless shifts, with just a quick partial squeeze of the clutch. Almost a...

If there was a complete kit available for it, I probably would have done it already :) . A completely custom install would be too expensive me. I'm pretty much limited to the tune provided by Prodigy. My boost is simply controlled by a mechanical wastegate, so it cannot be controlled by the...

Bigger tires are actually next on my list. I started with a base model with no options (except A/C), so I have the small 29" stock tires. I'm not going huge. Just 33x12.5. I already have a 2" lift, which was necessary for clearance between the front driveshaft and the turbo kit's exhaust. That...

My FJR was quite neglected last year. I barely rode it last summer. I actually drove a 4-wheeled cage nearly every day. Here's why: Yeah, I got a Jeep. And then I put a turbo in it. So first of all, a Jeep is MUCH more enjoyable to drive than my previous cage (Pontiac Sunfire). It's a...

It's basically that the final value fee applies to the total winning bid amount + shipping. This is done to discourage auctions at $1 with $49 shipping for something worth $50 to avoid paying ebay fees on the majority of the value of the item. All info on fees is here...

Another more relevant quote from the Harry Hurt report:

This large study of motorcycle accidents seems to disagree with you: https://www.magpie.com/nycmoto/hurt.html

Low and high speed damping are referring to the speed of the suspension movement; not the ground speed of the vehicle. I guess it's not exactly low and high speed compression damping on this fork. There's one compression damping adjustment, and only one compression damper in the fork. But...

The air spring portion itself is completely contained within the upper tube. There's no exposed moving seals (for the spring itself), so I don't see how dirt could get in there and cause a leak without major abuse and multiple skipped service intervals. The seal between the lower and upper...

I've recently gotten into mountain biking (well, in SE Michigan, more like slightly hilly dirt trail riding). I'm enjoying it enough that I'm actually farkling my bicycle! First was the hydraulic disc brakes, and now a suspension fork that's more high-tech than my motorcycle's suspension. The...

Sounds like it's probably a stolen paypal account. I only ship to verified paypal addresses when I accept paypal payments. You might get your payment without trouble now, but paypal could take the money back or close your account later when the rightful owner files a complaint.

BTW - the only importance of the 10k ohms specification is that you need a large enough resistance across the entire resistor of the potentiometer so that your potentiometer is not wasting tons of power and burning up (current draw = voltage / resistance). But it also can't be too big because of...

Then it's probably just an analog voltage input. The input voltage needs to between 0V and some voltage determined by the device. It's really important to understand that voltages are all relative measurements. You can't hook up 2 different circuits with their own power supplies and assume that...

Do you mean that the resistance is controlling the voltage of an analog input to the larger device? I've been playing around with microcontroller programming and basic electronic circuits, and inputs are basically always either digital (near 0V -> 0, otherwise -> 1), or analog voltage...

I'm pretty sure I've seen freeze advisories/warnings in Michigan, but I think it was during a time of year that below-freezing temps are not normal. That part does make me laugh :) In a few weeks, I'll be wishing I only had to deal with 3-5 hours of freezing temps overnight.

I think a stock Gen II with a light rider (like me) could match or beat that fairly easily. I've done a 10.8 on my Gen II with slip-ons and an extra hole in the air box. I'd like to think I got huge gains from that, but I doubt it was 0.4s worth of gains. Who wants to meet me at the drag strip...

You could try having her hold her knees to her chest, or possibly try a different position altogether.

I'll guess Corvette.

My kid got his first ride on his modified Power Wheels today. He seems to be enjoying it much more now (he actually stayed on it for more than 30 seconds, then willingly got back on it himself again later). I like the look on his face after he whacks the throttle open :)

Thanks :) I'm a software engineer (or developer, depending on whether you're the type that insists that someone must have a post-grad degree to deserve the word "engineer" in their title). Either way, I design and develop software. I actually really know nothing about electronics and...
