I took a chance on these Chinese knock-offs from Ebay. While they are constructed fine, they have no index notch or mark on the center black axle block to reference with the measurement marks. With no point of reference they are effectively worthless. I tried them for awhile and the only way that I could measure distance was with a digital caliper on each side, getting them equal on each side took forever and was a complete pain in the a$$. Now they collect dust in the garage. 3 1 ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now they collect dust in the garage. I'm thinking about giving these a try. Being a machinist I should have no trouble putting an index notch on the center pieces. As you well know, the stock setup certainly leaves a lot to be desired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, if you have a way to make accurate index marks, then these might work well for you. Like I said, they do seem to be built well otherwise, they just didn't work for me. 👍 ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't ridden yet to feel for any differences. Exhaust valves are a smidge though. So once those are adjusted, any change in riding will be confounded between the valve adjustment and the throttle body sync. '15 FJ09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting an index mark perfectly centered on the axle hole, not a problem. Want to send me yours and let me do them for you? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a very generous offer but I am already using a different axle block now. Thank you for the offer. 👍 ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhchris Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 (edited) I thrashed my 09 a bit doing a speedy a 50-mile lap in +60 degree weather. Had a big rain event last night so roads were salt-free, clean and dry. Seemed like old times (way back in September). Anyhoo, the batt's charged, tires warmed up and oil pushed into every nook and cranny of that naughty C3 motor. I am really glad I have the bike as an alternative to bitching about the lousy skiing. Kept an eye our for a guy on a farkled brandy new M10 but @chesterburnet was no where to be seen:).

I’m already setup with the Gilles Tooling adjusters: Functional and beautifully made, but a bit more subtle than the LightTechs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
