    S2 Gauge cluster housing replacement question..

    Yep, looking closer at the Chineseium part, / ad, it appears to clam shell, SCREWED together. The Yamaha parts diagram shows three screws as well, (but not if for the clam shell, or actually mounting to fairing stay)... As an FYI, the back of the clam shell seems to have some small openings...

    S2 Gauge cluster housing replacement question..

    My S2 gauge cluster, inside the main screen, is beginning to fail. In fail, it appears as if there's moisture INSIDE the upper left side, however there isn't. So, I suspect time has taken it's toll on the plastic. As the assembly works fine, I found an aftermarket assembly HOUSING.. It...

    S2 Crank but no start. Low d09

    Any decent compression tester will have an independent hose that you screw into the head. Then, the actual gauge will plug into that. So yes, if you can change a spark plug W/O removing the tank, you can screw in a compression tester. And yes, the plugs can be swapped leaving in the...

    Question Rear Sprocket Torque Spec

    Interesting... I re-used mine / never bought new Rear nuts (and don't remember if there was remnants of loctite on there). I've never had to remove the studs.. The front sprocket, even with the little notch to push in (S2) , gets loctited on as well. .

    Question Rear Sprocket Torque Spec

    The Yamaha manual, (S2, page 4-14) does not mention any Loctite however I agree, it certainly can't hurt. .

    Question Rear Sprocket Torque Spec

    I think I did my last rear sprocket torque to 50' lbs.. That was 25,000 miles ago. I believe the factory spec is too high and as you've experienced, can strip.. The stud is keeping the sprocket from spinning on the hub, the nuts (obviously), just holding the sprocket to the hub...

    Throttle Position Sensor Issues (Are you Experiencing Poor Idle/Mileage, or Stalls?)

    Lean would run hotter.... Your #'s don't lie... :( With moving the coils around and getting NO CHANGE on the outer cylinders, I'd suspect a bad ground / wiring issue... Their not contributing fully.... .

    Throttle Position Sensor Issues (Are you Experiencing Poor Idle/Mileage, or Stalls?)

    Don't worry about the total vacuum Yamaha posts. I live at sea level and can't get it to their spec's. The MAIN thing when syncing is just getting all cylinders within the 10 MMs Yamaha requires. As for the 4K syncing, you SHOULD be able to achieve that AND get a good sync at idle. Yes it...

    Throttle Position Sensor Issues (Are you Experiencing Poor Idle/Mileage, or Stalls?)

    Did you do or check the throttle body sync? Also, what SHOULDN'T BE ADJUSTED, (it may have been) is a screw between the two TB's (2 barrel each, if you would). That sets the mechanical sync FOR THE BUTTERFLYS THEMSELVES... IE, so their both at the same angle, one's not opening more than the...

    Throttle Position Sensor Issues (Are you Experiencing Poor Idle/Mileage, or Stalls?)

    I wouldn't expect the TPS to make the engine run so bad above 4K, (running violently).. Back to basic's, how do the spark plugs look? Any arcing going up the porcelain? Have you replaced spark plugs? What's the compression on each cylinder? A Leak Down Test certainly wouldn't hurt. Sounds...

    S2 Crank but no start. Low d09

    Spark looks strong but VERY inconsistent, especially video #2.... Sparks, then stops, sometimes 4 sparks, then just one.... :( .

    S2 Crank but no start. Low d09

    The one I posted should fit with the FZ engine, a bit tight in there, but it should work.. As I re-call, it was fairly inexpensive (bought it a long time ago and still works as new. It doesn't have a spring clip end and attaches as a spark plug wire would- Very positive engagement. . .

    Red calves, literally.

    Just an FYI, I had a Gen 1 FJR (2004) when they were available. That bike WAS A HEATER, BIG TIME...Piss poor resign (later re-designed). Especially being fully faired , I could really only ride it in the winter. The FZ is cool compared to the FJR, (which was a blast, 145 HP low, easily power...

    Red calves, literally.

    You must remember the FZ is a wide inline 4 cylinder, NOT V twin, or twin , which is much narrower an engine. You have a performance bike so your going to have some trade off's, IE higher RPMs, wider engine, more heat from the engine area... As for the frame, not being a thinner steel tube...
