Aaaaand it has arrived!

Ordered a new rear shock! K-tech Razor R Lite.

Thanks for the info!

Great hack!!!! Thanks for sharing!!

Thanks. The only response I am embarrassed to say is that I did have it in first. All good! #brainfart

Out for a ride today and noticed the trigger style menu toggle isn’t working. The “paddle” one is fine. No other issues with the display. Thoughts???

I got the humour, for sure! Was just explaining what the bat is, that’s all!

A clay bar is used in auto detailing. It’s a resin bar that can remove contaminants, pollutants and debris from paint, fibreglass, etc. It works extremely well. The paint will never be more smooth. Then you buff and wax after. It’s a great product.

Hmmm, good catch! Did you notice any wear occurring?

It seemed that the clutch cable was actually deflecting the larger hose (which I found out is for the air induction hose) out of the position that it seemed to want to sit. I rerouted it behind and seems much better. The old cable hadn’t snapped. I just had the new one and some time so I decided to do the job. There had been no signs of wear on the old cable, but there’s only about 6000km on the bike. (I picked it up on Oct of 2018 with under 2000km on it)

I just sized it up and fished it through, incorrectly at first however. Lol. Live, ask for help and learn!

Dammit! @texscottyd, thank you for your response. Another beer and 25 minutes, good to go. Glad I caught it!

So I decided to update the clutch cable on my 2015 FJ-09 today. Everything went fairly well and had everything back together and adjusted and as I was looking over the job, On the left side of the engine I started wondering if I had routed the clutch cable incorrectly. Can anybody confirm if the clutch cable in the foreground is supposed to be behind the coolant hose? I know I know, should’ve took a picture first! LOL Thanks in advance.

Soooo, who’s hopeful for a 2020 meetup?

So I have both the Puig touring (recent addition and not much time with it) as well as the sport screen. Touring for , well, touring, and the sport for bombing around and day trips the rest of the time. Really spend more time with the sport screen on. While riding around, I would always fiddle with it. Found that if I kind of forced the bend down on the sport screen just a bit, the air seemed so much cleaner. So, today I taped off the screen, followed the OEM contour and chopped two inches off the top. Turned out great! Took it for a ride and it seems like it is just perfect!

Installed a few goodies accumulated over the winter. Puig touring screen, Ram mount X-grip and new to me Seargent seat. ( thanks @coachluciano). Also froze the berries off trying them out for 100km today, but all with it!

Ummmmm, not cool. Hoping for a speedy resolution

Haste to check out Fortu Times Around too. Thanks @whitecrow. Sounds like this guy might have the right idea LOL

Ryan F9 is good. I do follow him. I’ll have to check out Stories of Bike.

I really have no technical info to add, but for someone who may be looking for suspension work in the future, this is a great thread. Thank you all. I’m a fairly novice rider, so don’t think I could use a full suspension upgrade to its fullest as I don’t mind the OEM for now. I likely just don’t know any better. I am going to have it set up properly as a first step this spring however. Thanks again to all the contributors on this thread.

So, what are your favourite YouTube channels to check out? I’m all over the place from gear reviews to looking for interesting routes......

I resisted the urge.......barely!

Meeting an Old friend in Mackinaw City this year and touring around the Upper peninsula and Wisconsin for 8 days. It’ll be my first such adventure on a motorcycle. Really.cant wait for the experience!

I have had my 2015 FJ for a little over a year and have done nothing to the suspension. Maybe I'm just naive and don't know the difference, but the suspension never really bothered me. Granted, I'm a newer rider with only a few years of experience. I am getting a little more free with the leans and the throttle though....... I was talking to my service provider and we'll be setting up the stock suspension in the new year. However, I am around the 210 mark Maybe I'll be out of luck. Well, worst case scenario I suppose it will be "better" than the factory settings.....

Heya folks. In the midst of planning my first real tour with an old friend for the early summer of 2019. Our plan is rough right now with a lot of room for fine tuning. The jist of our plan is to meet in Mackinaw City and launch from there. Our nightly stops will be near, but not limited to, the following areas: - Bark River/Escanaba MI - Sister Bay WI - Plymouth/Fon Du Lac WI area - Iron River, MI - Copper Harbour, MI - Marquette, MI (final destination before heading our separate ways) Just curious if anyone from these areas or anyone who has toured this general area has any good campground locations? Been looking. and there are tonnes, but just seeing if anyone has a cool spot or good experiences at a place. Cheers and TIA
