My bike started doing weird things at startup... high idle...  My battery had plenty to start the bike but was old so I replaced it... All issues resolved with the new battery with zero re-occurance.  

My guess was low voltage was causing the computer to not boot up correctly.

I have an AT-950 with the visor and a Bell without.  I don't notice a difference in buffeting between them at all when riding my FJ09.

I've noticed the same thing for almost 40,000 miles on mine...  Must be some frame geometry thing I guessed.  

 

Be safe!

It's been 20 days.... How about a new mark to get the game going again?

We seemed to have lost our winner....   Anyone have a suggestion for a new target?

I paid $33.00 delivered from Walmart.com.  Battery has been in a year already and no issues at all.  I too am happy if a battery lasts 3 years.  Any longer is just luck...  If you do something stupid and kill it along the way expect half that life.

Maybe you should think about taking the 99 vs I5 South....   That puts you on the East side of the central valley away from that smell.   Also closer to windy mountain roads along the foothills.

AZ route 666 (now 191) is awesome.  Watch out for the tar snakes in the corners as they get slick in the AZ sun....

I ran the PR3 tires at 36psi front and back when riding solo.   If a passenger I would up the back +2psi. 
 
42psi front sounds high to me.  Too small a contact patch.

And when the replacement fails just call APE, install the manual tensioner and be done with it. 
 

I see a clock on the dashboard of the truck....   Call a new mark I say!  Something doable and fun. 
 

How about a new mark!

Well, I look forward to seeing this completed and being prooven wrong (about posting impossible tasks).
 

 

 
Does this work?   It's my bike in Japan while still in it's crate...     Not really.
 
I don't see how anyone can do this in a week.  
 
 
 

 

Your FJ/TRacer/GT at least 2 time zones away from the one you live.

 
 
That's a 2100 mile ride for me....   Wooohooo! The bikes warming up.   Wait!  Maybe not.   I have to work. ;-|
 

I guess everyone is afraid to stop in those "gritty" areas....   It's been a week.  Call a new mark?
 
I live in the country.  If it falls down we clean it up.
 

Good Idea!  
 
New Mark:  Your bike with ANY pre 1970 vehicle.  
 
Let's get this moving again!!!
 

Should I call a new mark?   It's been a week. 
 

Maybe meant to post in the FJ photo thread?

I prefer my invisible motorbike theory, but sadly I think you’re correct.

You guys are blind.... I see it.  Way out there.......     lol 

 

 
Next mark: How about your bike with any motorcycle built before 1970 (not owned by you)?  
 

Your mark is tough for those of us that live farther than an hour from an ocean.
