Cyclop, yah kena many times, even from my pillion, polished with autosol like hell then can removed. Still looking for a protector, may be SK can do it, did you manage to see any from other Ang Moh forums?

Yo Backoff,

Are you refering to the burnt mark from the heels on the exhaust?? Have not come across any cosmetically good looking fix yet. Only the heel guard on the RVF400 exhaust comes close, but it doesn't look nice.

Guys, looked what I've found in our neighbour's backyard!

 

Waterfall in Sungai Jagong (Kedah-Malaysia)

 

Thats what our bikes are for, right??

Hey Cheekozer, I'm all tied up till Tuesday, that should be the earliest that I can go get it, if not, then it should be Friday.

 

Like it was mentioned on this forum earlier, the grips are 125mm, a little short for the FJR which are 135mm. Need to shift the controls or use a spacer. For the VFR, I think they should be just right.

 

Hey luN, are you still game on the grips??

Hey no problem, as my throttlemeister still not yet arrive, so still ok, think meeting up with u should not be a problem as i guess u pass by my bike everyday.

Yo Cheekozer, I'll be over at the Northlink shop tomorrow around noon time, wanna drop by?

 

Hello HyperS4

I've been pouring over the regular maps that I have but couldn't locate the river. I've ask one of the old bird about it and he'll go check it out on his detailed Kedah map. I'll post findings as soon as we've got something.

[BackOFF]

I had a copy FJR13 Service Manual for SALE, $35. Interested kindly pm me, txs!!

Saw this thread, so cut & paste here

 

The silver '04 is faster (and the scientific explanation)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, the wait period has begun for the next round of soon-to-be FJR owners, but as a proud '04 owner, there's one thing I want you boys to understand.

 

Our wonderful pre-05 silver bikes are going to be faster than your sexy new blue '05 ride and here is why.

 

The dark blue paint on the 05's means that the bike will be absorbing more energy from any light/heat sources nearby. this means that the air entering the engine will be heated up by the bike being inherently hotter, and therefore there will be fewer oxygen molecules in the intake charge when it gets sucked into the engine. Since you have fewer oxygen molecules to burn, your engine will make less power, and you'll be slower.

 

Note this difference is almost negligible at night, so all previous FJR owners beware you won't have this secret advantage on your side if you encounter one of these blue beauties after the sun goes down!

 

I hope this doesn't stir up any hard feelings, I just wanted to set the record straight before you guys take delivery of your beloved machines and make sure you dont have the false impression that you've got the baddest FJR around.

 

Thanks for listening,

Joe

Wah piang, rub it in some more.

 

Trip to Ipoh & Camaron first week of July, going?? New Tech Gibson chio leh!! 3-4 days round trip, should be quite nice. This time can run rings round the Goldwings in comfort liao!!!

[Cyclop aka Sideways]

Hey Guys, wondering if anyone else having this problem. I noticed on my FJR, the brake fluid in the resevoir is very dark. Compared with the clutch fluid which should get dirty faster, the clutch fluid is still having this fresh honey colour. Saw another FJR, same thing. The owner told me his bike is about 1 year old and his brake fluid is also black.He suspects low quality fluid used. Any other opinion??

But must drill hole....

 

Since its so quite, let me ask for some advice...

 

I'm reaching 20K and looking for a major service.

 

I intend to do the following by a mechanic..

 

1) Change plugs + synchronization

2) New tires (plus lubing of drive splines of course)

3) Check battery

4) clutch fluid looks like it time...

 

Anything else that i missed?

Where do ur go for srvc?

[BackOFF]

omnislash, don't forget to top up the cooler fluid. Best is go through the Yamaha Periodic Maintenance and Lubrication Chart.

 

Btw what tyres are you changing to? I'm currently having the Bridgestone BT020, doing fine, however Metzeler MEZ4 seems quite good as well. What's your view?

 

By rite going back to Yamaha Workshop should be the best for srvc, but then again, they don't seems like they are competence enough. Try Looi's and look for Meng Tong, heard he's quite good, but oso having some attitude problem.

 

thongkh, yes indeed, the R&G is good and proven. However to drill a hole of the size of the diameter of the sliders, need a steady hand and special tools. If not, better spend a bit more than sorry.
