  1. Rode to work yesterday and today (my employer observed the holiday on Friday instead of Monday). Was a nice, hot, but low traffic day on Monday. Had a great ride. Trying to ride to work as much as possible (tomorrow and Thursday are heat stroke warning days so no riding).
  2. No photos of it, just yet, but after meeting with Dave Moss for the suspension set up, he recommended that I get new levers (adjustable). I got some new Pazzo levers from PJschurchofspeed.com and finally got them installed. Got the matching red to go with the bike. They look great. Was able to get them adjusted for a perfect fit for my hands. It's like riding a brand new bike.
  3. He really was a super nice guy. I enjoyed chatting with him.
  4. Nope, not 100% sure. I will have to check when I get home. I thought it said relay, but maybe it was resistors.
  5. Nice. I would love to have attended that clinic. He did a great job and was super quick about it. I had never heard of him but had been talking about getting my suspension done when they announced that he would be at the rally. I decided to sign up and then found out who he was. I was glad that i signed up.
  6. They actually packaged the relay with the taillight, when I purchased it. The front turn signals that I got also have relays with them. Thank you for the heads up though. Also, glad to see that it is a good tail light. I have a 15 also and look forward to seeing the new lights.
  7. That is the next step, according to his video. 3mm drop. To start with he just adjusted the rear shock and preload and dampening on the front. That completely changed how the seating on the bike felt.
  8. I bought the MotoDynamics integrated tail light. I has the strobe so I am hoping to be more visible with it. All the lights and levers will go on this weekend.
  9. I recently took a trip up to Deal's Gap to attend the Women's Sportbike Rally (13th year for me). While hanging out at Deal's Gap resort I met another FJ rider who had some nice looking flush mount turn signals on the front of his bike. Found those online and got them ordered. Dave Moss, of Dave Moss tuning was there during the rally, and for a fee, he would set up suspension and ergonomics on your bike. I am slowing making my FJ mine with mods here and there so I decided to go ahead and get the suspension set. He started with the ergonomics and found that my levers were sitting too low and that I needed a new clutch lever (factory is not adjustable and it sits too close in for me). (Pazzo levers were ordered when I returned home). He also found that my bars were slightly off center and I had been riding with my left arm bent and my right arm straight to compensate. Got the bar centered up and then we moved on to suspension. The way the suspension was, from the factory, had me sitting like it was a chopper style bike, back end low and front end higher. Got that corrected (which was very noticeable on the first ride). Front suspension was adjusted since I was barely using any fork travel. Once he was done, I took it out for a test ride and it was like riding a brand new bike. I am still adjusting to the changes but I really like everything that was done. In a month, I will be reviewing some changes he made to his Tracer 900 forks and making those changes to the FJ (his recommendation). I look forward to seeing what those changes bring about. This weekend I will be installing the new levers, new front turn signals and new integrated rear turn signal (had to change the rear turn signals since the front were getting changed )
  10. I am actually just over the Fayette County line.
  11. I could maybe do October 12. I commute a lot, but also make several trips up to the mountains and ride. Getting ready to go back up for 10 days at the end of August.
  12. Me, too. Looking forward to many years of joy with Orion.
  13. Rode the bike to work this morning and all is right in my FJ world. No decel pops for the entire hour ride. No cold start sputtering either. It was the wonderfully perfect for me bike that I remembered it to be. I cannot say thank you enough for all of the information. You guys, as always, are a great help.
  14. 1 exhaust bolt was loose and the muffler portion had slipped a slight bit. No chance to test ride due to weather. I will update as soon as I test ride.
  15. Thank you all for the ideas. When I get home from work I will be checking all of these out. I will update if I find anything.
  16. Exhaust will be thoroughly checked tonight also. Making sure everything is tight and not kinked or twisted. I think the flash is fine (bf just wants to prove he was right and I was wrong for not going with Ivan).
  17. I will check this also. I don't remember hearing the whine, so that may be something.
  18. I will be checking that when I get home from work.
  19. Not immediately, but not terrible long after (within a few months). I didn't think it would change, but he keeps on about it so I said I would ask around. He keeps saying that there should have been updates done, etc and I should let him send it to Ivan to be redone.
  20. It has 8500 miles. I have changed the oil at the start of every riding season. I changed the air filter last year. I synced the throttle body last year. Other than that, nothing maintenance wise.
  21. I have recently developed an issue with the bike not wanting to run smoothly at first start up (usually takes about 10 minutes of warm up) and very loud decel pops. The cold start issue started last year and I thought it was just because we were in the mountains but it has started to be a regular occurrence, even at home. The issue is after starting the bike, if I don't let it warm up for about 10 minutes, it will feel like it is shutting off at random intervals. Once it warms up, it runs smoothly but that first 10 minutes almost feels like a TPS issue in a vehicle. The decel pops just started today. Very loud, almost sounds like gunshots when I let off throttle or shift gears. The bike is a 2015 with an ECU flash from 2WDW and a Mivv exhaust system. My bf (who wanted me to get Ivan to flash the ECU) says that it is all probably related to the flash and I should get it redone. I have no idea what it is. Checking the diagnostics, there are no codes.
