  1. 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

    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.
  2. 38 ft*lbs is the torque required to seat the bearings. I'm familiar with PLA, it will depend greatly on the percent fill selected when the object is printed. I expect that this particular design will hold up just fine to the job it is intended for. But I'll test it thoroughly before I start selling it.
     
    Please do. It's not a mission critical piece where someone would get hurt but if your going to sell it on this forum testing is a must.
     
    Your second link to the tool leads to an FJR1300 tool page, they may be identical, but this one leads to the socket listed for the FJ:

  3. I turn the TC off any time I am riding for fun not distance. The front end will consistently power the front end up in 1st, 2nd and sometimes third gear depending on how hard I am hitting it. That being said I have only once brought the front end far up. Usually just get some hangtime about 1-2 ft. I love that feeling, but I am terrified of the full balance point wheelie.
     
    I like my bike to much and in my mind I just see the thing flipping over and crushing my chest everytime it gets anywhere near a full wheelie, definitely gets the heart pumping.

  4. all of the northwest rocks. Been all over out here from Death Valley To Jasper in Canada and endless weekend rides through Oregon and Washington. This is peak country for long rides with limited interruption. Its all pretty much a big win over the east coast where every piece of land is privately owned. I'm originally from Brooklyn, NY and have lived all over, this is the best. Whatever you do DONT move here :)
     
    Now back on topic, I hated the stockers and removed them after 4k miles. At that point my rear was fairly tore up and since I didnt like them I went for a whole new set. Im a true believer in it matters most where the rubber meets the road and for the cost I love fresh rubbers. I want to know when Im pushing the limits if the backwoods that i dont have to worry about tire failure, explosive or just slipping.
  5. wow, Brandon is closed? I have seen some talk of issues with the CC but I dont know any specifics and I have not experienced any issues. That does not inspire confidence though....
    Maybe it has something to do with this  - https://www.pacermonitor.com/public/case/4052626/Rostra_Precision_Controls# 
    Can anyone dig deeper?

    tried searching it but all leads end up with needing access to the public records site. Says something about contract violations though, hopefully that points to the units being ok, but the owner being a bad businessman.
  6. We are all different and like different things. If we were the same we would have all married the same woman and had the same bike. 
    I can't say my beak has any other advantage than I think it looks better. My 2000 mile trip to Switzerland showed no disadvantages either, its purely cosmetic.
     
     
    Ride what you want, fit what you like, paint it any colour you want, do your own thing.....
     
    We do all have the same bike (/troll)
  7. I broke the 100 mile mark, but ordered some different handlebars, grips, and handguards. These will go with the rear rack I already ordered.
    Be aware when I changed my handlebars I had to replace the clutch, throttle and brake lines to make it work. I had a discussion with another member here who just re-routed and ended up breaking his clutch cable. I special ordered all the cables and added 2 inches to their lengths to make it fit right.
  8. The Andreani's are decent. I like them over stock but have struggled to find the sweet spot. At some point I hope to have the time and money to get some parts from pattonme to make them better as I have read good things about his work as well.
