That white sure does look nice!! D@mn, now I might need to spend more money on my bike... Lets be real. You were going to spend more money on your bike anyway. Now you know what

Just noticed there is some mis-match of numbers going on here. The OP filter list shows the Purolator 14612 is the compatible FJ-09 filter but you've linked the 14610 part. Not sure if this is an error or if both fit but thought it important to point this out so someone doesn't get the wrong one. I have in fact ordered and used 2 PBL 14612 filters now with success for the record. Thanks for pointing that out. That's very strange, I have a bag of PBL 14612's sitting in my garage. Wonder what changed....

Not me! But congrats.

Best of luck!

was born in SoCal, moved to Grand Rapids a few years later... then I moved back to NorCal for a few years then moved back to Grand Rapids... I have always considered NorCal my 2nd home next to Grand Rapids so I mashed NorCal with GrandRapids zip code which is 616... I had kind of assumed 616 was yet another bay area, phone area code. The things you know....

Man, that is NOT what your screen name would suggest. Sounds like you're a CA transplant as well.

Great explanation, thank you.

I changed the phrasing a little bit, otherwise I entirely agree.

I'm not sure. That would be a question for @pattonme

That's a great article. Dave Moss is a knowledgeable resource and over all a great guy. Rebound damping allows the shock to rebound at a fixed speed regardless of pre-load. The first thing to do while fiddling with suspension is set your sag. This is suspension jargon for adjust the preload, front and rear, for you. This requires two people. This by Dave Moss goes through the process.

Lol. The literal Chinese translations are always amusing. Glad to see you got your LED's wired in!

I would lean towards cages over sliders. Sliders can catch and flip the bike while sliding. A simple low side could turn into a twisted frame totality. A cage is less likely to do so.

Nice! Welcome to the addiction!

Nice trackday! I'd like to get my FJ on track later this summer.

That organe pin stripe looks GOOD.

I'll bet you its loud as phuck.

Thank you @adjuster for the info and links! Amazon prime for PBL 14610 oil filter: Link

I turn the traction control off and put it in B mode until I get out of town. Then its A mode. But once it becomes routine, you don't even notice what you're doing.

Nice write up thank you! How much did it cost?

The first PL14612 I put on worked just fine. The second one leaked everywhere. Horribly annoying. Both PL14612's.

I was lurking on a thread recently that discusses this. I do not believe is plug and play.

They are Yamaha's way of saying "don't lean over any farther." I'm assuming you mean the extended knobs on the bottom of the foot peg.

Thank you.

Thank you for sharing your mishap. It sounds like the DC-DC converter is a CCPSU? You have an interesting point I hadn't really considered. The LED lights would not work well with other lights in parallel as the current would drop off in both sets of lights.
