I'm not sure about generation 3, but you may still get the code which has to be cleared by a Yamaha dealer unless you have ann OCB CAN dongle adapter cable and a dongle. 🤠

I'm going to sound as my youngest daughter says like a grumpy old white man

Let's call his vid a joke and stop being so esoteric scientific and cynical and move on🤫

Jay as usual I agree with you

Back in the day protection was a joke the helmets were made out of compressed Cork and shellacked cotton

My first helmet was a full face showy the first they imported into the United States not my helmet but the model

Today that helmet would also be a joke but it was Miles ahead of anything else at the time a pun

I'm not so sure your analogy about us world war II helmets being totally correct because they weren't worth s*** really as far as stopping a bullet they were good for heating up water to shave in and all the other things they did with them like digging holes but today's standard US helmet is obviously a lot better but still you have to weigh protection versus wearability

that included a pun

I wear everything I can and I'm constantly evaluating my personal protection and also have upgraded all my armor a couple of times

Biggest problem is I can't fit into a lot of my good stuff because I've got to lose just a couple pounds 😭

You're right about bouncing cuz you don't do that well once you get older

I'm evaluating getting an electronic vest rather than my ripcord model

It's all a matter of money and whether you have health insurance or better life insurance for your family

Go for the Tracer!

And I have a fastest red 15

Does this mean my coal fired boiler in my basement is dated technology? 😁

CAN'T BE TOO CONSPICUOUS!

It’s been a few years, but they were fine. Looking for a 750 instead of a 700 would be advised, and the newest you can afford.

Yep, my opinion exactly 

Are the 2 images of the same screen?

Maybe it's different perspective but the lower screen looks bigger?

Yes

An, wud u tink?

It is a fantasy without a few depictive verifiable photos...

I've only got size elevens or so

I've got to look at mine again now that I see yours because Maybe I just had to shorten the bolt

thanks

Believe it or not this works great and easy to read for my tired eyes

I use this app to monitor phone CPU temperature which can go up behind a big windscreen on a hot day

 I have a hardwired twin USB A Power Jack on the phone mount. I only use one with a direct USB C into the phone

I have a soft film forming thread sealant on the caliper bleed nipples as well as the master cylinder bleed nipple

I don't get leakage there and can hold neg 24 " mercury

I'm anal about spilling anything on painted surfaces but very rarely even have a drip

Once I'm set up it's a 20 minute operation front and rear with the MityVac this last time I added manual final check and it helped a little I think but it's hard to gauge (pun)

What lever is that I've been looking for one I tried another and it wouldn't work waste of money but it was like 20 bucks

I also have the toe peg rubber with the flat side and my ADV foot pegs

I like the pegs a lot because they're wider provide more support and don't vibrate

The little 750 can lift the front end because it's simple maybe dumb but because it's dumb you can play with it more

Anyone ridden the 750 or even the 700?

Well the other day I flushed out the brake system front and rear using the mity vac. And it felt as firm as usual. Then I did the manual bleed but still under vacuum.  IMO either technique requires a very quick suck / pull (but not pulling full stroke so the piston bottoms out in the "crud zone") then closing the port as quickly / sharply as possible without over tightening which will damage the tapered valve seat.  The added manual "top off" maybe did firm it up even more. I did not bother at that bleeding at the front mc port.  Stroke seems shorter as well.

BTW I use an elastic band rather than a zip tie overnight. I think a zip tie is too firm, and a slicone elastic wrist band offers plenty of even pressure.

I haven't ridden it yet because I still have a few more maintenance tasks to complete and hope the longer Barnett clutch cable will be here in another week.  Tough to ride without a clutch.  I'm not sure when I can ride but 🤞

Pics of my means & methods of how I suspend mity vac below caliper bleed port that permits hands-free bleeding.  I suck out the mc fluid reservoir and fill it with fresh DOT 4 synthetic before I start.

KK

I feel for you

I've had Problems with my left hand For quite A while

Consequently i've Been looking at another honda

Albeit a somewhat smaller and lighter

The NX750.

It's somewhat of a toad and it's suspension and brakes are on the light side but it still looks like a hoot

Problem is i've gotta get my f j put back together and see how I am

 And then there's the issue of having room for a sixth bike

 I too want to discard, so to speak, two bikes

 But that'll take a considerable amount of time for me to get them ready to sell

 It always could be worse

 Did you get the airbag? It's part of a package on thebwing

 Maybe it's the same this year if it's available.But I hear they're coming out with another new air bag.Maybe in 24 or next year

 I know the wing feels lighter once it's under way but I have a fear due to my condition, that being if it goes over there's no picking it up even with help. Ha ha ha.

Does SWMBO also like the 23?

 And I've read mixed things about the DCT on the Wing but many do love it accepting its quirkiness. 

and you?

You sold it?!

What'd you get?

I'm only at 63k miles but couldn't ride much last two seasons

2and3 are you aware that there’s drain holes for each spark plug well located just above the exhaust ports in the cyl head?

A controlled short blast of compressed air in the hole with a rubber tipped blow gun frees the coil packs very easily. Disconnecting the wire connectors first is recommended, I also catch the coil pack with my hand when it “pops” out. 

HTH,

Skip

I know about the drain holes, but I didn't think of using air pressure.Great pointer

The plugs are in, but I'll blow it out from the bottom.Hopefully I'll get trash out maybe

I do blow from the top as well though.

Thanks tiger

Ever consider a FuseBlock? Makes easy work of connecting to battery...

FuzeBlock

I have a different type I can't remember the name off on-hand in my attic stock but I don't need it for the FJ with the way they set up circuits and where I'm tied in

I do have one in my VTR but thanks

What's the kid in the toy SUV wearing on his noggin?

Behind the in your face powered phone mount, which has been bulletproof, is a vibration damped RAM standard T- Slot bar that can handle power for 3 low-draw devices. If they're small, say a radar detector, GPS and TPMS ECU-display

I have scattered about at least 6 dual USB-A 3~5 amp power outlets, 1 with a volt meter where the 15 had a blank right hand hole opposite the left OEM 12v cigarette lighter socket.

plus I have 10 & 15a SAE and Coaxial power plugs.

All circuits are done very Sano, switchable and fused.

Let amend the foregoing. 

I was surprised you had grandchildren because I still think of myself as young 🤣 and knew you are younger than me. 

I wish I physically felt younger, even at 55 I was still bicycling 35 miles 4 days a week for cross training even though I didn't really enjoy it.

People often say I look much younger than I am.  I respond looks can be deceiving...
