    Speedometer recalibration

    According to gps, my speedo reads about 3mph faster than my actual speed at any given velocity. The GPS is accurate in the two other vehicles I've tested it in. How do I recalibrate it? Also, on a slightly related note, how many teeth should I have on my sprockets? I have a suspicion the...

    Fuel Grade (regular, mid-range or premium)

    Additives are one benefit to premium but yamaha has a recommended fuel additive that is about an extra dollar per tank :)

    Fuel Grade (regular, mid-range or premium)

    There's really no point using premium, your ECU adjusts your compression back down to 87 octane levels so you don't get any benefit.

    Madstad wind screen or new helmet?

    I've been looking to reduce wind noise and have a generally more comfortable ride. I am 6'2", I emailed madstad and they said the 20" wind screen should give me the "cone of silence" effect. On the other side, my helmet is about six months old, I have it dialed in with camera, UClear and...

    Engine hesitates after startup

    I don't rev my engines cold normally either but it does happen while under load as well and that's the easiest way to illustrate it [emoji14] I was wrong, it does idle at about 1400-1500 when cold, then goes to about 1000. My buddy is thinking it is a dirty injector, because once warm the...

    Engine hesitates after startup

    That was a cold start, it doesn't do it from a warm start, and doesn't happen when it is warm.

    I had been running chevron premium, then switched to 87 about a month ago. Been getting it mostly at fred meyers, but it would do the same thing with premium as well

    Engine hesitates after startup

    Bah. Those pumps are expensive. Here is the video, it doesn't really do it until the third rev https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B2-VbUcK-W_EQS16SEFiZTBtU2c/edit?usp=docslist_api

    Engine hesitates after startup

    This started happening a few months ago - when I start my FZ6 and rev the engine within the first minute or so it hesitates to rev up. The idle is smooth but in neutral or under power it is almost like it is low on fuel. My mileage has been consistent at 42mpg, I started using yamahas...

    Air Box Mod, Sounds Good!

    Also you're not likely to gain much because the ECU will compensate, I think the main benefit is you'll get better air flow for longer through your filter as it dirties - so you'll keep your power longer between filter changes

    Givi panniers?

    I can't see the pelicans being more expensive ; the mount is ~200 and each case is ~100, versus 500+ for contoured panniers
