Easy solution. Leave the cage at home and ride the bike. Problem solved. You’re welcome. -
What did you do to your FJ-tracer-gt today?
micah2074 replied to yamaham's topic in FJ-09 Tracer 900 General Discussions
I can say that my roadsmart 3’s with 13000 miles on them did phenomenal in the freakin monsoon I got caught in between Dallas and Abilene last Saturday. They plowed through some deep water and stayed planted. -

And they die real quick if you accidently leave your light on and breifly walk into a convenience store.....twice. Haven’t had this problem either. -

I ride year round and have had no problems starting my bike in sub freezing weather with the Lithium battery. -

I got this one when mine died https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/bike-master-lithium-ion-battery-dlfp-12-bs It’s cheaper than the factory replacement and LIGHT. I mean crazy light. When the package arrived I picked it up and thought that they sent me an empty box. -
Yes Mt Rainier. It was beautiful. The South American tourists almost ran me over though. I parked and as I was getting off the bike they came flying into the lot and boxed me in. A big van on both sides then one in the middle that almost got me. Yes, next FJ close to a fire truck.

Aw dang! Yeah probably, I was the only FJ around that weekend!Except for me.... I was gassin up when you came out of the store. I thought you went over by the car wash and parked but when I finished and went over there y’all were gone. I went over to Robbinsville, 129, and th south foothills parkway from there. The fog made it sketchy on top in a few places. -

Same.. put in 360 miles on Saturday and 600 the previous weekend. I think I saw you at the Exxon in Tellico. You took off before I got gassed up and could say hello. -
I’ve always used DID. Always got good life from m them. I used an EK once but sold the bike before I put to many miles on the chain. I do like EK’s screw type masterlink.

I didn't remove the tank to run the wiring. I removed the right side panel that likes to crack and ran the wiring along the frame. It's worked fine for two years.

I used a little relay triggered by the tag light to power mine. It came out of a wrecked ford truck in the junkyard. It fits between my he battery and it’s foam spacer.

Torque Values, Fluid Types/Quantities, Frequently Used
micah2074 replied to ULEWZ's topic in FJ-09 Tech Tips/How to's
You can reach over and apply the brake with one hand and torque the nut with the other. -
I’ve got the 665 (I thing that’s what it is... or 660). It’s has all those extra wires. I just bundled them together under the seat. They’ve been under there for two years now. No problems.

Yesterday, I rode the Skyway, the dragon, and the southern end of foothills parkway. There was fog so thick I cut off a piece and had a bite. Snow and ice. Rain and lightning. I was all alone on these great roads... except for a guy in a Porsche for a couple of minuets. It. Was. Fantastic. Today I'm going to clean her up and lube the chain. She got rode hard and put up wet and that's the way I like it. -
Sargent Seat, first impressions
micah2074 replied to alquimista's topic in FJ-09 Parts and Accessory reviews
Put some more miles on it. Those are like kilometers but bigger. My Sargent seat is a much better seat than the oem. It will take some time to break in. Heck, the day I got it I took a 600 mile ride. I have 30,000 miles on mine and think it’s my best after market part. -

I tried adjusting the ring on the bottom, but no dice. I talked to the Revzilla people, and they're going to try and warranty it for me, which if yours is on straight I'd be pretty happy about that. I really like the size of the bag.I like it. It’s been with me for about 2 years and 20,000 plus miles. -

I’ve got that bag. Mine line up straight. You have some adjustment on the bottom. See if the holes in the brackets are straight. -
Cigarette Lighter Plug woes....

I put an O-ring around my 12v phone charger. It stays firmly in the socket and charges my phone fine. -

I washed it. Got dirty riding 129 yesterday. Had the dragon all to myself on a Thursday. In February. At 8 in the morning. Life is good.
