  1. could also try a different sprocket ratio. Less off the line, more top end.
  2. In reading through your posts all I see is someone looking to argue and troll. Fairly sure we all get it. You buy something and then never change it. Glad everything you buy is perfect for you. I'm never satisfied with a bike when I buy it. I like good suspension and ergos that meet my riding style. Also luggage, crash bars, wind screens, ect. Also do the same to my trucks. Are they perfect? Hell no because I ride/drive them like I stole it. I suppose if your main concern is resale value you should put that bike in the garage and be sure to wax it every 3 months. By the time I'm done with it the farkles will be worth more than the bike.
  3. So, I started by looking at the Tenere 700 and couldn't help myself but look at the new Tracer. My FJ is just fine, so many aftermarket parts it's like a totally different bike. Well, sort of. I have a long standing hatred of the side panels and have long schemed to remove the hideous abominations against man. Was just to lazy to fab something up. Hey, at least I'm honest. But looking at those new side panels, not quite enough to get me to buy a new bike... but that swingarm might be! That was one of the many differences between the fj my fz6. If I could have a longer swingarm the fj would be perfect! Except for those damn plastic triangles. Anyone try this?
  4. Just picked up a set of the BattleAx A41 adv tires. With some cash credit I have it cost $250 shipped plus the $60 rebate it will be $190.
  5. well, me and some friends killed a bottle of scotch. That count?
  6. broken wire. I had attempted to reattach but it came loose. I can live with it
  7. again, thanks. I should be better at holding on to documentation....
  8. how do you test it? I know it turns on but will not lock the speed. Or... its trying to lock at "0" I think I read those pages last night. Nothing fits. Im really hoping its just a broken wire connection. The worst part is the 9k rpm cutoff. Hows a brother supposed to get the front wheel up like that?
  9. well, looks like no dice. I will ride it to work and see if it resets but I think Im going to be using GPS for speed on this trip... weird thing is now the TCS light is on but the ABS is not. I think I may have a break in the wires from installing the cruise control. Maybewhen I disassembled for the ignition switch replacement i broke a connection. Might try to redo that tonight. Anyone have the wiring instructions for the cruise we got through Cruisin?
  10. i did the work, no parts are missing or bent. The old part is already off. Im assuming the front still works or how would the bike know it was moving? Im hoping they call soon so I can go pick up the part!
  11. bloody brilliant. No Change when I spin the wheel. The error has not returned yet but the bike hasnt left the garage. Will install new one tomorrow
  12. Nice. I may have to poke around in those settings a bit.
  13. hmmm, ok. Maybe I can just pull the starter fuse....
  14. wow, thanks norcal. I will have my hands full tonight trying out all these tests. The bike is currently top disassembled and up on the c stand. I should be able to run the testing with the rear wheel spinning or is it just an electrical test? I wish the damn Yamaha tool wasnt 40 bazillion dollars. I have a digital copy of the service manual and was searching it but I dont remember seeing what you posted. Got the page numbers now though!
  15. dbeau, dude... thanks. I'll do this when I get off work tonight. Man will I be pissed at myself it that clears the issue and its all better. But, better safe than not leaving for a great trip!
  16. its a 2015. And just fyi I had to pay a ton of money to overnight this part from Georgia because there were only 2 left in the country according to 2 dealerships I spoke with. I now own one. Think this might be a common problem? I'll see if I can finds the write-up. I have an obd scanner but its a little bluetooth one that i run form my phone.... I saw that it was possible to build a harness but I am supposed to leave in 48 hours. Hopefully this fixes the issue. If not it still runs so when I get pulled over I can honestly say I have no idea how fast I was going
  17. how do you clear the codes? i thought you needed a yamaha device for that
  18. completely disconnected the rear sensor and had no change to the error code. Ordered a new sensor, hope it's the right part....
  19. OK, here we go again. I just replaced my ignition switch but just prior to that I replaced the rear wheel, chain and sprockets so I am not sure when the code appeared. I looked it up and it says 3 possibilities. Rear wheel sensor clutch sensor clutch switch I am leaning towards rear wheel sensor but it looks fine. No scratches or anything. I have disassembled the bike again and I can't see any loose connections. Anybody else get this before? I am supposed to leave town on saturday for a 1000 mile trip and I'm not to concerned about the lack of mph but if it is more significant that would suck. thanks
  20. they are cheap, like $30-50 american. I have used two diff brands and wont travel without one.
  21. Northern beat me to it. Need to know which size as it seems to fit quite well
  22. so many beaks and dirt tires.... so little dirt! Go and get those bikes looking used!
  23. Caution is always a good choice. I received this from tuneboy: Hi I can change the default start mode but I think it is better to modify the default start mode so it is the new better mode, that way you still have the A and B modes. The STD mode is the one that will have the lean angle stuff The first two graphs below show the leaned over throttle v the upright throttle, x-axis is the amount you move the grip, Y-axis is the amount the throttle plate will move. You can see the leaned over one moves the throttle plate slower. The next three show default STD mode, A and B modes, you can see that B only gives 70% throttle. Speed limit is done by backing off the throttle in higher gears, I have removed this. In my last email I think I forgot to say that all our prices are in AUD, this means the $399 AUD price will only be about $299 USD with the current exchange rate. If you want to pass the info I have sent on to others this is fine with me. Thanks Wayne I like the explanation and see of the features but I am done being a beta tester. As of right now I don't absolutely need anything for my bike so I personally will wait for some feedback.
  24. I also didnt notice removing the speed limiter and editing default drive mode. I want the CC feature but also would like power increases and fuel delivery smoothing for better response. I received the same email from them and have sent back asking for clarification on the other items.
