Oregon - 4th Annual Last Ride of the Year (NEW LOCATION!)
joeszup replied to keithu's topic in U.S.West FJ-09 Owners
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! -

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 -

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.

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.

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. -
I was doing my 12k maintenance and noticed that my front tire (PR4's) recommends PSI 42. This whole time I've been doing 42 rear/36 front, because I've been following the manual. Forgot about the tire change. Who here is running PR4's and do you run at 42 psi?

Ugh... Almost got motion sickness watching the video from the CAM. I'll stick with my GoPro chin mount for now.

I'd like to see the quality of the video if you get a chance to post it.

I not exactly "mechanically inclined". Ask me to fix, or custom-build, a computer, and I can family do both...but anything beyond a motorcycle's electrical system, I know next to nothing. If you can custom build a computer, then you can read a manual. Get the manual, read the specs, you can do this! -

Don't get gas on the dip when filling up. It will eat right through it. -

Washed the bike, did the chain, tires, etc... More importantly, A few months ago I entered a give-a-way on Riders Domain. Found out last week I won a set of Pirelli tires. They arrived this week. Awesomesauce!!! -

Been sick with the flu, so I went out to the garage and caressed by FJ. -

Nah. I got all heated gear + heated grips + heated seat. I stay toasty. I won't lie, it was pucker factor 10. -

Installed my new Higdonion trail cage. I also have a spare set of pipes that I'll be painting this summer, so it will look even better.
