  1. The black plastic honeycombs - cleaned with soapy water and a q-tip - then applied armourall with a q-tip - it took a couple of hours
  2. Thank you to all, I looked on progressive website - interesting stuff - they have a 25mm lower rear spring which presumably drops the back end down 15mm or so. 95 euros is affordable too (for the rear shock). Actually, although I have owned 15 motorbikes or so, I am least comfortable on this one partly because how high it is (I've dropped the front 7mm) so the idea of my bike sitting a little lower is very appealing.. when you say you put a progressive spring in - I'm guessing you are talking about the front..? Racetech states the stock is 0.70kg/mm, and that I should go with 0.93 = I have to choose between 0.90, and 0.95 I'm thinking of 0.90 because 95% of the time I am riding solo without luggage... Thank you all
  3. Hi, . Good day to you! Well my seasonal job ended today, and I need something to do I would just like to know if there are any threads that people would particularly recommend regarding putting another- better rear shock in from another bike, or threads that discuss front suspension upgrades. I don't mind reading through all the threads, but in the past I've found that one are two threads are outstanding. Thank you 2015 FJ09 8000ish Kms
  4. Is it ok to mix mineral and synthetic? Same weight 10-40, same manufacturer liqui moly.... It's not just about the money, it's also the environment..
  5. It looks like it doesn't - the tracer has a longer swingarm. If some one knows this to be correct or incorrect, please comment -thank you
  6. Would this work? Thank you in advance - I'm just looking to find something I can afford.. Thank you in advance Richard

    Well now I know

    Oh my goodness - hope everything works out for you, and maybe a neighbour can loan you a baler for this cut.
  9. Flushed brake fluid - I think the first change since the factory in 2015
  10. I got it - pdf download - about $10US... No where near as nice as a book, but a sixteenth of the price - from ebay
  11. Thanks! I don't have a cd player, but I'm sure I will find a way
  12. My old boss was a lawyer - one day we were talking about text messages, and she said that a text message doesn't show who sent it. - I rode on the Vancouver Island highway - beautiful road surface - much of it fenced from animals. I guess Ontario is nice too - but big, lol
  13. Hi, I don't want a service manual in Spanish, the Haynes ones just aren't any good anymore (the last 43years) I don't want to be ripped off, and although I am sure there are very many fine copies out there, there is just too much potential for screw ups. Can you point me in the right direction please - good places to buy etc Thank you
  14. I know this is a really really old thread, but if anyone has the knowledge.....(my 2015 FJ09 only has 4500 miles, but oh my goodness what a racket it makes, but quietens in neutral when I pull the clutch in. Just wondering if buying a new clutch basket could have been an option for OP (by the way Bill, if you are still around - thank you
