[QUOTE="Wicked Webby, post: 279415, member: 5498"] SLK50, Ok. I am not sore at you(no more..hahahaha!!!). Communication is key. I do agree that you can prolly adjust the bars together at once BUT.. I did not want to tear up the soft metal pin holes that creates the seperate bar positions while attempting to do this blindly. I posted this instruction thread because a friend of mine, a YAMAHA Service Manager at my Local Dealership, was telling me how he recently had a 06 FJR in the shop with all six(3 on each side)adjustment points stripped out from forcing the adjustment points. I am not saying that is how yours are BUT I bet you will agree how easily they can strip if you cannot see what your doing. Also, he informed me that the adjustment of the bars was a, "dealer service only adjustment" and most people that tried to do this themselves were removing pins(incorrect method and according to him a safety issue) and/or doing what you just described(stripping method). I wanted to adjust my bars and couldn't find any info out there except for the "removing pins method." I asked him to give me the play by play. So, I decided to offer his dealerships method up to my fellow members. Thanks for Input, Good day to you too! WW :) P.S. Thanks Bull for your Comments. I hope it can offer some help to my fellow owners. As we all know, there are many ways to skin a cat. [/QUOTE]
