I'll be interested in your progress. The old Z cars sure are enjoying a cult resurgence. Glad that many are being saved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wintersdark Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Me too. Perhaps OT for the forum, but they're such awesome little cars. So hard to find one not dissolving these days, and certainly at any kind of reasonable price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duhs10 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 I put a Speed Angel's screen protector on my '15.... nice product. Although my display screen has faired just fine through the years so I'm wondering if it was necessary.... oh well, 1 more farkle to add to the list. 1 '15 FJ-09 w/ lots of extras...

Wintersdark Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Ordered a Tutoro automatic oiler. Looking forward to not needing to clean my chain several times a week anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL, this is exactly what I’m doing in the next hour; no idea if needed, but saw it posted here, the farkle reflex kicked in and the screen protector is now in my hand. 🤪 I think millennials call it “fear of missing out”. 3 Red 2015 Tracer, UK spec (well, it was until I started messing with it...)

I might have to give them another chance and try their Nano-Glass version. I tried the anti-glare a few years ago and hated it but from photos posted here, it looks like the nano -is absolutely crystal clear. 1 ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angusmcoz Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Found a use for the unused foot peg mounting holes on the FJ-09 side case brackets on my GT. Never have enough water on the road. Tested it today and doesn't interfere with my heel when I'm on the balls of my feet. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winter riding does have some downsides, unfortunately. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spray wax on my chain and good for while. However, i don't ride in anything but sunshine. I ride a lot, year round. Commute to work daily on sanded and salted snowy/slushy/wet roads. Just a couple days take it from freshly cleaned and lubed to fully rust covered and crusty. The rest of the bike rinses off fine, but the chain needs constant oiling. Even under normal summer circumstances though I do a bare minimum of 50kms per day, so a 500km interval sees every two weeks. I've gone through a bunch of chains over the years, and more aggressive lubing is a lot cheaper. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
