  1. Attended the MSTA Mail Pouch Fly By in Marietta, Ohio over the weekend. About 900 miles of Ohio River Valley twisties over 4 days! Quite a few FJ-09s/Tracers in attendance. Here's a trace from my Spot tracker:
  2. Wash mine twice a year whether it needs it or not.
  3. I know it's a long shot, but if anyone has a damaged Yamaha OEM FJ09 top box, I'm in need of a lense/reflector. I'm pretty sure the lense is the same on both the 39l and 50l. I haven't been able to find a replacement from Yamaha, it's "all or nothing". 😞
  4. 1st answer is "cheaper to manufacture", then likely mass centralization.
  5. Wonder if the mesh communication is compatible with Sena or Cardio? Anyway, until my GPS and Sena die, don't think I'll be jumping on this.
  6. Tough decision to make, but one each of may have to do. I too will likely go to a Miata when the time comes. Outstanding deal for someone! GLWS!
  7. Today is "Ride to Work Day", so I did. Apparently it is also "Free Bike Wash Day" as my Fudge is getting a rain-water rinse! All good!
  8. Well, it was Sunday, but close enough! Worked on routes for a rally my wife and I host (OH-STOC, Ohio ST-Owners Club). Our 16th year hosting! The FJ-09 is such a delight to ride through the hills of Southern Ohio! (and anywhere else!!) And I saved a baby dinosaur while I was at it!
  9. You can check out the main site here: https://ridemsta.com/ Here's a link to the Kentucky chapter on FB: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1000078980012020
  10. I can't comment on the T9GT as I have a '15 FJ-09, but I go with what the others are saying. If you find yourself heading east for some of the fun SE Ohio roads, look me up! Also check out MSTA and some of their shenanigans that they host in N Kentucky. Red River Gorge Rally is a blast!
  11. Another W&S user. Their jackets come with a pack pouch that's about 8"x10" IIRC. I hand wash with NikWax wash. One of the best gear investments you can make! I have even used my heated liner and gloves while doing snow removal on my Kubota tractor.
  12. Cycle Terminal has lots of connector kits available: http://www.cycleterminal.com/motorcycle-connectors.html For best results, make sure you have a good crimp tool too. I think this is the one I got from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Crimping-Tool-Insulated-Electrical-Connectors/dp/B07Q32PYP3/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?keywords=crimp%2Btool%2Bfor%2Bwire%2Bconnectors&qid=1671711450&sprefix=crimp%2Btool%2Caps%2C333&sr=8-1-spons&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUFXSjlCUTVVSjdMNlAmZW5jcnlwdGVkSWQ9QTAzMjE1MTAzOENGTjNCVEwzVVVTJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTA1NTU3NzMxTEJUNjU2RUZGN1FQJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ&th=1
  13. Welcome to the fold and congrats on acquiring the fast red FJ. The MC Cruise is the bee's knees! Though some consider it a difficult install, the kit is very well documented and works great once completed. Highly recommend!! I lucked out and bought mine from another user that may have been intimidated by the install, for a reduced price. Check this site for other's experiences with the install, and if you decide to get one, read through the instructions several times and set aside 2-3 evenings to complete it. There are also several youtube videos regarding the install and calibration steps.
  14. Use HDPE as a replacement for the plywood. Easy to work, good enough for boat decks and the likes. Not too expensive. I used it to make my rear fender for my under-tail tool box.
