nickest85 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Received a GIVI XS307 tank bag from Revzilla. Pretty nice bag, but it doesn't seem to line up straight, and that bothers me more than it maybe should. Probably going back. I have the same bag and it is cocked just like yours. It bothered me at first but have just lived with for over two years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It bothered me at first but have just lived with for over two years now. At this point I’m thinking I can just redrill and tap the panel on the bottom of the bag to keep me from twitching. I really want to like it, but I know after riding for ten hours that would drive me clinically bonkers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBB Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Try filling it. It could just be the way it sat in the delivery packaging and once it is full it will straighten up?

Premium Member upshift Posted March 7, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted March 7, 2018 What did I do to my FJ today? You mean besides installing shortly levers, a new clutch cable, and (wait for it...) the sweet new Bagster seat that arrived in the mail today? Well, I took her to the beach to welcome in the new riding season, of course! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the seems it's definitely misaligned, not just compressed. If the new one isn't any better I'll just redrill the plate on the bottom of the bag.

Premium Member sterlinggold Posted March 9, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted March 9, 2018 Change Brake fluid (Castrol 12509 Dot 4) and sent ECU to be custom flashed. Wish there was a force-ABS-pump-on option, don't really feel like trying to get it activated while riding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enx Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 I cleaned the chain with my new kettenmax chain cleaner tool. It's super easy, fast and results are really fenomenal! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonekrusher Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 I added new adjustable levers (RideItForever levers from rideitmoto.com) I do not suggest you use this brand! The mounting point is loose and feels like they got the specs wrong, ended up using a combination of the new lever end to get desired length and the old lever attach point to get around this issue. Filled the bars with bar buzz kill, which is a silicone product that contains little beads that supposedly absorb vibration this stuff works pretty good but I suspect that BBs or buckshot work similarly for quite a bit less cost. (I didn't see the BB idea until after I had purchased this stuff) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwicanuck Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 I didn’t do anything to my bike today but I did book to demo ride the new tracer 900 early April, let’s see how much it’s improved and I will report back findings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new models chain is still as tight as the older models , I tested that at trade show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBB Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 First decent ride of the season. 110 miles in sunny, but 6 celcius conditions. Still some snow in the road edges in Wales. Heated grips are probably the best farkle I’ve added. Red 2015 Tracer, UK spec (well, it was until I started messing with it...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
