I don't think he was offended, but he could have been and I would have taken his side.

From now on, please keep the "direct" language elsewhere. 

yeah i will do that in future and post somewhere else, have fun.

@Tracerracer - Definitely wasn't offended, but wouldn't say i appreciated it either.

 

 

that what i have thought in the first place, because your are from europe like me and not north american, IMHO they are over sensitive in many ways and often forget not everyone has english as their mother language, english is my 3rd

Point of my reply was just to show the lean angle is definitely a factor too. You are right that I am not lightweight at 87kg but definitely not exactly jumbo jet size either. The problem of the centre stand is quite common and some people have either cut the rubber stopper on the centre stand support down, or, removed the centre stand completely. Thanks for the tip that you believe my front end may be collapsing and so need adjustment. This is something I will look into as i would be more than happy to gain extra clearance!

 

SEE MY REPLY BELOW, this quoting system and editor s*cks 

i have the same weight like you and think at faster pace riding the stock suspension is borderline with our weight, for normal riding its good enough. would like to know what part of corner the picture was done, mid-corner, corner-exit, corner-entry

Could be... Or that I actually lean the bike over in a corner

nice picture btw.

if i run my tyres to the edges and something like the center-stand is scratching the ground, its a good sign that my suspension isn't up to the task of my riding style, maybe too much rider-sag, too soft damping or springs, IMHO

on your picture it looks to me like your front is collapsing to much and your are not looking like a lightweight jockey

if you like to be offended by my direct language, so be it

maybe your are to fat and or bad suspension settings -.-

@ddog gt

no its not the same, raising the forks u will lose some ground clearance, with raising the rear u will gain some ground clearance, IMHO

so cartridges for fz09 and fj09 are the same?

im eager to know why different oil weight, whats the reason behind this?

I used Redline fork oil, putting extra light in the compression leg and light in the rebound leg after advice gleaned from the forums.

i would check the front wheel for out of balance, it does sometimes happen that you have to balance the tire again in my experience

the ECU senses the resistance of the heated grips when they are in "series wired in", _parallel_ does not work, thats all iirc.

there is already Angel GT II for sale in europe, improved in wet(grip,handling), cold, softer damping and it really looks sexy, imho. i am rolling the dice between Road5 and the new Angel GT II 

yamaha claims in their installation instructions for the QS - it does work from 20km/h or greater than 2000rpm.

That brings me to a question! I cannot find where to turn it off. Anyone know how to turn off quickshifter? Have read all I can on it and found nothing.

push the shift lever up, turn ignition key on, wait 10sec, release the shift lever - QS will be disabled/enabled. no need to unplug something.

Sorry, it ain't gonna happen. He build some mounts but refuse to do more, money will not motivate him.
