I do mine 2/3 times a year, depends on bike use i suppose.

I only use torque wrench on Axles, thats about it. Screwing bolt's into casings, calipers etc is best done by feel, ime. 👍

Yep, ACF 50 is the way to go. Nice fine spray is best so put bottle/aerosol in hot water for a few minutes to thin it. I know some who use it with a compressor. OK on all metals, doesn't hurt plastics if you get it on any. Keep off brakes and rubber. 👍

Good luck in your motorcycle retirement Wordy. Now, about that new surfboard... 🏄♂️

Powerlet Outlet - Tracer 900
Dodgy Knees replied to vincep's topic in FJ-09 Tracer 900 General Discussions
I keep this with my little electric pump and works great. Just connect to my battery charging lead, very handy. TM68 Cig Socket — OptiMate UK TM68 - OptiMate / AccuMate Cigarette Lighter Socket Lead I've got the old Tm connector, Sae is the newer. My charger must be 20 years old. 😁 -
Yes, I used plasti dip. I've since re done them again as white was showing, put plenty of coats on and all good. 👍

Puig Windshield Color

I've got a short puig screen in smoke, but it ain't that smoky. I'd go black. -
Pls help! Which Tracer to buy?
Dodgy Knees replied to Zookie's topic in FJ-09 Tracer 900 General Discussions
I'd go with the 2016. It's got all you need and is cheapest. Have it. 👍 -

Try and get heated grips. 👍

Imo... the looks, extra expense of ownership and extra weight massively outweigh the gains of front end grip. Having said that, some folk think their Great, Good luck to them. 👍

Paint sealant and rust inhibitor combo?
Dodgy Knees replied to petshark's topic in FJ-09 Tracer 900 General Discussions
Acf50 should be all you need. The paint/plastics should look after themselves or maybe a wax polish. Keep chain lubed. Job done. 👍 -
Have it. 👍

Nice pic, hope you get it sorted. 👍

How to clean oil from rims?
Dodgy Knees replied to Sqbydoo's topic in FJ-09 Tracer 900 General Discussions
I've always used wd40. Short spray directly onto rim and wipe with cloth. Job done. But ye, there's plenty of other stuff, aerosol is just convenient. 👍 -
2019 crf 250L. Light, button start, hopefully reliable. Something to play on during the winter months. If I drop it, it dont matter. The rally has more plastics and a screen, maybe looks more adventure than the L. I would have gone for either. I will also be doing the "green lanes" and there's plenty not too far away. Some are only rough tracks but as long as there open to all traffic, it good to go 👍

I've just got this as my "alternative bike" Not competing with the tracer and ticking different boxes. The fun is off the scale. Getting dirty down the muddy tracks is great fun.

Is it really necessary to carry a full socket set. ? 😉

Bucket list rides.
Dodgy Knees replied to johnmark101's topic in FJ-09 Tracer 900 General Discussions
For me, the riding is everything. If it's just about getting somewhere, I'll go in the car. 👍 -
Cruising Range/MPG - How many miles on a tank of gas
Dodgy Knees replied to Wolfp4cker's topic in Tracer 900 GT Discussions
Anyone know if the Tracer runs "dry" or does it stop with fuel in tank. I've seen 198 miles on clock and was surprised how much I didn't get in. iykwim. -
I smear copperslip on the axle.

What did you do to your FJ-tracer-gt today?
Dodgy Knees replied to yamaham's topic in FJ-09 Tracer 900 General Discussions
Think those bags look neat and tidy. 👍 -
