  1. How do I unsubscribe? I traded in my FJ-09. leonard lloyd
  2. 42 psi on tire is maximum rating for weight and speed, not recommended. All tire manufacturers defer to motorcycle msnufacturer for pressure recommendations for riding.
  3. Beautifully polished headsers - down-pipes. I had same problem trying to remove oem exhaust with centerstand in place. No go. Your Scorpion seems to have more clearance than my Yoshimura.
  4. that is my preferred filter, especially if hot pipes restrict access for removal.
  5. You may consider it a stupid question but over 60 years of cars, trucks and motorcycles, especially in the 50 years working on the latter, i have learned the hard way that not all filters are equal in this regard. These do appear well formed for the correct oil filter removal wrench. Not all are.
  6. Parabellum windscreen clear stock aero deflectors on handlebars?
  7. 17 tooth front sprocket is a bit tight in terms of clearance, I run a 43 tooth Renthal rear sprocket which drops the 6th gear cruising RPM by about 300. Nice thing is the 'eco' light is still on at 85mph in B mode. Plenty of chain adjustment if your chain is fairly new. A worthwhile modification and doesn't affect the acceleration at all but just calms the bike down in the lower gears. Thanks for information. Two less teeth on rear sprocket seems worth trying before trying to fit larger up front.
  8. Anyone increased front sprocket by one tooth? I find first and second gear to be very short, so I quick-shift through to third even for slow urban situations. Alternative, less radical, perhaps I could drop 2-3 teeth with new rear sprocket. Require shorter drive chain or is there sufficient adjustment available?
  9. Also gloss metallic black in US. As have many others, I added reflective red stripes to wheels and side channel. I pick up red FZ-09 front fender at dealer this Wednesday.
  10. Black 2016. Added red reflective stripes to wheels and in side channel, hugger. Pick up red front fender next week.
