If you can't find a vise, find a pickup with a trailer hitch and clamp the bar to the hitch and then lean on it or use something for a lever

I don't know if this helps but when I got the XT for the Wing, I paired things and it all worked except I didn't have turn by turn directions in my Sena 20. Garmin tech support had me unpair my phone from the Sena and let the XT handle phone calls. Works fine. When riding the Guzzi ,I pair the...

At least he is playing with the CBX with one alternator. That damn KZ has two of them and he has two KZ's.😁

In many cases the tapped hole is deeper than the fastener is long so you may be able to source a longer bolt and pick up enough threads to secure the part. If not then Heilcoils are available for most any size and are pretty easy to install.

If you have a volt meter just check charging voltage at the batt tender plug. should have 14+ volts when you bring the revs up. If not then you need to check a bit deeper to see if it's stator or regulator.

I'm thinking about 4 oz. of soap to 3 gallons of water and the heat is set on 50 degrees centigrade

When I was looking for solvent for my ultra sonic, Dawn dish soap was the popular choice. Been using it for a few years now with good results.

Don, I think this weekend I am getting  large pile of FJR parts. If there is a fuel pump assy in the pile it's  yours.

Or, telling him it's time for the FJR boneyard. :punk: Don is determined to get 250k on it before he gives up.

You're gonna be cussing  the Kawasaki gods when you work on the carbs. The R&R is easy getting the tops off is a little different and the center carb is a bit of a bitch. I think the last time I did them, you had me lower the needles a notch cause you thought it was to rich.

The LED upgrade is well worth the pain in the ass of the install. Make sure to test the install before final assy. The led's are polarity sensitive.  I had to turn a couple in the socket. They also save a few watts of juice.

It's sitting too close to the KZ1300. 😂

May sound far fetched but I would say tires. Had it happen on other bikes.

Fork seal leaks are not uncommon. Most just need a Seal Mate treatment to heal the leak. As far as the valves, Operating a feeler gauge is a matter of feel and not everybody is the same. Before adjusting I would run a couple loads of ring free through it and then check/ adjust as needed. a...

Shit Scooter, Who got your panties in a bunch :fuck: . Some folks need all the creature comforts they can get.  I never thought I would like a heated seat until I got one on the wing. Like has been said, mount a good voltmeter and see what the voltage is underway not at idle. most motorcycle...

It's not hard just be VERY careful. The pump is almost bigger than the hole so it takes a little romance to get it in and out.

I'm thinking you're right about having to replace. There isn't much you can service on that assy. I screwed one up pulling  it to put a bulkhead fitting in. Expensive mistake. 

I've been around FJR's since the beginning and don't recall dog bones  ever breaking. It's one of the most dependable platforms available. Ride more stress less. :punk:

The level of entertainment never ceases. Part of the problem is working in close proximity to the V-twin iron dick in the building :punk: When I rashed up the bags on my 03, I did the paint with rattle can bed liner. It's easy to repair when stupid strikes again and it doesn't look to bad.

Is that why you conned me into the KZ1300 ???🤣
