What is you're location?

As mentioned earlier, the stock side stand is hollow. I had mine shortened by cutting it and inserting a steel rod inside to re-join the two pieces. After having it powder-coated it was like new and worked better for my set-up. The same process could be used to lenghten a side stand. To find how much you need to add to yours, get some pieces of plywood and stack them under your side stand foot till you have the correct lean. Then measure the stack. Side Stand Adjustment

Did anyone follow through with the purchase of the Mo'Cycle Airbag Jeans and Vest offer? I logged on to find the promised US799 price coming up as EU799 which is US$851. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong but thought I would ask before spending the extra $52, which I think is still a good deal. I checked my confirmation email and it is in dollars, as is the $5 I paid on my credit card when signing up. Airbag Jeans + Airbag Vest $851 USD$1,383 USD (38% OFF) €799 EUR

Since you are staying with the same shape seat, have you considered having the standard one repacked? I'm sure you would save big time financially.

I put it on a U-Haul motorcycle trailer to take it to the dealer for front fork oil change. At $17 including tax the trailer rental is a great deal. Would have rode it but it was 29F this morning with salt on the roads for snow. Edit: After adding the Hyperpro lowering kit (front and rear) I rode for a while with the stock oil in the front forks. Finally changed the oil to the 15 weight provided by Hyperpro and notice a huge improvement.

I love it, real riding. You da man.

I find that wearing a skull cap under my helmet is the best defense against helmet stink. There are many moisture wicking caps available for under $10. eBay is a good source

I have not been able to find a local suspension pro but have a Yamaha dealer close by who I will schedule for a fork oil change.

Thanks for the response. I guess I need to read up on general suspension to get a better understanding, but you have made it pretty easy to understand. The Niken front suspension is adjustable compression and rebound damping. I have tried many different settings but can't seem to get it right. It was close to perfect out of the box before adding the lowering kit. Perfect compared to my FJ-09 with stock suspension, since thats the only other experience I can compare to. So its the 'higher viscosity oil will make the damping respond slower' part that is giving me pause. Going over a pothole the bike feels smooth but when I hit a bump it doesent give enough and it feels like it is hitting hard. That makes me think if I add the 10 weight that came with the lowering kit it might be slower to respond over bumps? I expected the shop to change the fork oil when doing the springs but can't get a reason for why they didn't. I guess I just need to change the oil and go from there, since that is what the HyperPro recommended with the package. Thanks again Betoney.

Any chance of a closer pic of the installation and brand name of lights?

Last year I had asked a local shop instal the Hyperpro Lowering Kit to my Niken and set it for my 210lbs riding weight. The lowering kit came with Hyperpro Springs and 10 weight fork oil. They shop changed out the springs and returned the oil unopened. For riding it was an improvement as I could now flat foot, but the suspension was worse and I found the fork settings were screwed all the way in. Recently I had another guy help me set the front and rear suspension, but his conclusion is that the front forks needs the oil changed. On the Niken the front forks have oil inside and the rear forks have the springs. The service manual lists Yamaha 01 fork oil, which I believe is 5 weight. My next step is to change the fork oil but I'm wondering if I should go with the 10 weight HyperPro oil or a different viscosity. When I ride over potholes the bike handles well but if I ride over a bump in the road, the bump can be harsh. It seems to feel better when it is colder outside. What is adding to my confusion is when I called another shop to see if they might be able to help, the service advisor said the bigger the number on the fork oil bottle, the lighter the oil viscosity will be. I need advice.

I have the same top case on my Niken. I like what you have done with the rack. What do you carry on it, what kind of weight would you be comfortable with? Shad Rack

I have one battery maintainer for two bikes. I switch back and forth so each battery gets about 3 days at at a time a few times a month. I keep meaning to get a multi bank tender to cover car and bike batteries etc., so the search is on.

I had a McCruise on my 2017 FJ-09 and loved it. It didn't have as many limitations at the stock version, such as only use in 4th,5th&6th gears between 31+100mph. However I prefer the stock cruise control on my Niken with the integrated controls. Having said that if the Niken didn't have cruise control I would have wanted a McCruise. As previously mentioned the McCruise Controls take up valuable handle bar space, unless installed such as Dazzler24 did in the following post....
