  1. Dang is that color display sexy compared to my '15. Wish there was an upgrade path for those of us in the dark.
  2. Dang - grab your exhaust before you let them total it. What i see there looks aftermarket. However, wrenching with broken thumbs maybe not so easy. Glad Covid still has a chance to take you. Not many get that opp after t-boning a blind driver.
  3. Word. Spend enough time watching and studying MotoGP bikes / coupled with actual riding experience, down shift with rev matching is a science to the bike. I know you designed a QS. I have a healtech. Something I’m sure you studied when you did some development work. It will allow for a DS in certain circumstances. I have tested it. It work and slips in gear just like going up. However, really useless without rev matching. Using it under the fun circumstances when you want it - no go.
  4. Ummmm. That looks like Rizoma packaging. @texscottyd I know that color well.
  5. They should not even put the index decal in the box. They are way cheesy for a well machined part and does not stick at all. Not to mention could “slip” from where you originally got them on and now your calibration is off.
  6. I’m a pioneer and ADD did not help after I purchased the Brembo master cylinder. Truly have a custom FJ at this point.
  7. @texscottydspeaking of that, finally got some miles on all my new winter projects. Now I fully understand the benefits of my new Brembo Hydraulic clutch. I’ll write up a review on the thread in a few days. Bagster seat is awesome and the 320mm conversion is also most excellent.
  8. Clutch switch when engaged should disable the QSer. It sound like yours is not. Bike thinks you want to QS and is retarding the timing - while you are clutch shifting - I went through this is my HealTech QSer.
  9. Was wondering the same thing - Am I missing something with these auto-lubers?? Why. I spray wax on my chain and good for while. However, i don't ride in anything but sunshine.
  10. I think I may be fondling the FJ this weekend. Temps in NY supposed to hit close 60 and it's time for the spring startup. I've got a new clutch, master cylinder and R1 Rotors to test
  11. @Poochwelcome. You won’t be disappointed, at all. We have the same bike.
  12. All you guys spending money to make the sun go away. I’ve been begging for it to come out for the past 2.5 months. I’d actually pay for sun glare at this point. Spring is close.
  13. There's where our logic parts ways - my wife hates me. lol. But you are correct.
  14. You can’t be cheap when it comes to the single most important function on your bike. If you going through the process of upgrading (not like there’s anything wrong with stock) you see the value. Why skimp on finances at that point? Factor in the bolts you will need. I have a set of brand new R1 rotors sitting on my floor as we speak. Just waiting for my Titanium bolts to arrive from my favorite place, China. Should have them this week. Where did you get the spacers May I ask?
  15. Don't fill up your tank beyond the bottom plate in the fill hole - there is a breather hose in there and if you plug it with gas, bike no start
  16. Indeed. Also makes for removal and reinstall of the box, 1 PITA step less.
  17. New breather hose showed up today. Original on the left. Glad I ordered a new one. Mine was never fully crimped, but also never fully breathing. This is a focus point when reinstalling the air box. Oddly, the new hose feel sturdier for some reason. Guessing heat takes its toll on rubber.
  18. Ride with GPS is a cycling app I believe - MyRide is what @texscottydwas showing above. I just loaded it myself, but have to wait till spring to give it a try
  19. I must be cursed because my FJ has next to no vibrations. At all. I often ponder at various speeds wondering what everyone else feel who do experience issues.
  20. I tried to tell y’all. Glad we have proof. Yes the originals are expensive, but well worth it and they add a nice bling-factor.
