Well, I had every intention of showing up. My carpal tunnel in my left arm said "no". Can barely pull in my clutch.

Hey everyone. I don't have a preference. As long as the weather holds, count me in!

Added a water bottle holder. With +90F coming this week, I'm going to need it.

The rear bolt was on so tight I couldn't get enough leverage to get it off. Not a big deal really, added about an hour total to the replacement. Plus it gave me the chance to clean up the swing arm real good

Installed a Cogent rear shock!

A little heated gear and you'll be fine.... FINE!

NOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! We got snow. Dangit, now I can't ride. <--Vancouver WA

LOL, it was 43F here this weekend and not raining so I washed and detailed the bike.

I hate to rain on this parade, but Corbin s***ks a$$. Sorry but their customer service is sheet and I've found that their seat, after ~10K miles, still doesn't "break in" as they said it would. I wouldn't use another Corbin if they gave it to me. Maybe other riders have had a better experience, but for my money, I'll be shopping elsewhere. I would also point out that a "group buy" would be nothing more than a headache. When I got my Corbin they expected me to fit it to my FJ-09 and then ship it back to them with feedback and they would adjust it to fit my bike. A bunch of sheep skat if you ask me.

Just donated for the year. So much good info here that it's worth the donation to keep it running.

I just noticed that coolant tank cover... I’m curious where you got that? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Radiator-Coolant-Resevoir-Tank-Cover-Protector-For-YAMAHA-MT-09-Tracer-FZ09-FJ09-/131977404071

Thanks for the feedback everyone. Yeah, I was reading off the sidewall of the tire. 42 seemed too high.

And of course... polished my baby.

Oh, forgot, put a few farkles on.

Just finished the 12k maintenance. All shiny and ready to ride at the time of the picture. A test ride after the picture tells me I need to re-bleed the rear brakes. Otherwise, she just purrs.
