That's not my thread .... I just stated I have the same symptoms ... wouldn't surprise me if it's an injector. i won't replace any until after I clean them first

"Scorpuco" stopped by this AM so we could double-check his rear caliper. It's nice to have two bikes side-by-side to make comparisons. Anyway, we removed the caliper, checked everything out, bolted it back up, then re-torqued the axle nut (the shop who patched his tire used an impact gun)...

Understood. They have some unique tools. I probably could have gotten away with the 4-piece drivers, but those are long blades only. On occasion, I do a Starter Valve sync (some folks say, "Throttle body sync") on the ST, and on the CBR, I'll do a carb-sync, and in those instances, I need...

So, if anyone is interested in ordering the JIS screwdrivers, or any other tools at the RRR Tools Solutions website, I have a "coupon code" that will get you 20% off a tool order of $45 or more. Just send me a PM and I'll give ya the code. The 20% off sale ends Sunday. I am not affiliated...

BMW makes a nice looking bike with some interesting engineering. Too bad they have their issues. I've considered a couple of their bikes, but after lurking in the BMW forums, I'll not buy one. My next interest is in the KTM line ... a Duke or Adventure As far as extended warranty? I'd not...

Don't get me rwong, I didn't update my hosts file for just this site - I do a lot of other Internet browsing. I've been doing the hosts trick for years ... The router \ hosts file is a nice trick, but I think a lot of folks wouldn't know how to go about doing that.

Agreed. Let's take the ST1300 as an example. The last production model available in the US is the 2012 model. In Europe, they currently have the 2014 "Pan" (European name for it). I can take you to an official Honda dealer down the street and show you a brand "new" 2012 ST with a mile or two...

The downside is this is browser specific ... what if you run 2-3 browsers? No biggie if you only run one. Otherwise you have to install and maintain an addon for each browser. And as you add more addons, the browser gets bloated. And there can be conflicts along addons.

It's not about CC's. A parallel twin vs a V4? The outcome are different altogether. HP and torque are different enough to make a difference. 105 HP vs 50 won't make a difference? 45 vs ~60 for pull? Dual front, 4-pot, disc brakes for better braking power. But let's face it ... the 800x will...

But the OP, here on this forum, *IS* the OP. If the OP here didn't want to stir things up, they should have used a different title (something like, "Look how wonderful the FZ is"). Just because a thread was posted on some other forum, doesn't mean they have to post it verbatim here. And...

I use the "/etc/hosts" file trick. If you use Windows (I've been Windows free, at home, for almost 20 years now), the file is found in this path: <system drive letter>:\windows\system32\drivers\etc I won't go into the gory details what the hosts file is for - Google it (mvps has the...

That's the rwong thing to do, if you're simply pushing the pistons back. Accumulation on the pistons, if not cleaned prior to retracting them back into their bores, the bores will become scored, then you've got other problems. If you absolutely HAVE to push the pistons back, remove the...

That shouldn't be ... you probably have another issue ... might have air in the lines. There's no way to adjust it to be more firm, beyond bleeding the brakes and changing out the pads.

This is not slated for the US market, right?

The Youtube is a Yamaha ad ... the hyperlink to the Cycleworld First Ride article about the FZ has *no* references to the Youtube. They are, effectively, two individual references including the FZ. I think the OP was trying to ruffle everyone's feathers.

Folks are getting mixed up. We have a Youtube video and a link to a test ride article. The Youtube video, if you LOOK who posted it, came from YamahaMotorUSA, with a link to Yamaha Motorsports in the Description. The article is strictly about a Yamaha FZ Test Ride, without ANY reference to...

These are nice-looking soft panniers (I have no experience with them), shown in this thread (SW-MoTech)

If you need that much storage, might want to consider an ST :) Personally, I wouldn't do it due to safety concerns ...

That can't be $200 \ month for an NC ... please tell me that's for all your vehicles.
