It's been a long time since I've visited this forum - traded my bike for a bagger a couple years ago (yeah, I'm that old). I was cleaning out some stuff in my garage the other day and I came across my old windscreen and thought maybe somebody might want it. It was the factory windscreen but I...
It is past due but since it runs so cool I never really worried about it. I guess that would be a logical step and just plain old good maintenance. I would hate to do the flush & new coolant and then find the sensor still needed to be replaced. That's why I'm asking about the relationship with...
I checked the fuse first thing, it's good.
How do I know the temp in degrees? I read through my owners manual and I don't see a way to get any engine temp except the bars.
Thanks for the suggestion but the fan turns freely. As a matter of fact I did a test not in the manual. I removed the fan motor relay and jumped across the leads that would be made if the relay kicked in - the fan ran perfectly. I also followed the test instructions for the relay and it appears...
My FZ is a little over 3 years old now (an '06) and has just under 20K on the odometer. A couple weeks back I was looking at campsites in a campground - lots of stops & idling in neutral while I noted good looking campsites. As I was finishing up I noticed that my temp gauge was showing hot -...
Yeah, I know, he disappears off the face of the earth and then comes back looking for help... I've been going to school, working too much and lord knows what else - lame excuse.
Here's my story on my search for pucks. I went to the grocery store on the bike a couple weeks ago. When I was...
Sounds like fun but I'm going to the fair tomorrow (Beer Fest day!) I do get some Friday's off so maybe another time - I like weekday rides when the traffic is a little lighter out there.
One of the guys I ride with mentioned to me that my tail light was wobbling and I wanted to just blow it off thinking it was just the rubber mounts. However, on inspection I found one of the mounting bolts had come out. Moral of the story, check things for missing bolts, then forget about it :Flash:
At my work they would call this a shining example of "creativity before capital".
Nicely done, I would personally choose your way over a trailer any day. I've towed trailers for thousands of miles and been pretty fortunate to have only had a couple of tire incidents. Funny thing is, when your...
No real trick, just clean the wheel really wel, get in a well lighted area and go slow. I got mine off EBay as well and they were somewhat forgiving - if they weren't as straight as you liked and you hadn't pressed them on real hard, you could peel them back and go again.
Slow & steady wins...
I have the OEM tool kit, a Xena disc loc, a bank coin bag with a bungee net thing & mag light in it.
I never carry any paper work in my bike or car that has personal info on it. Call me paranoid but I just don't see any plus side to having that stuff there - it fits in my wallet :D
