Global Moderator sorkyah Posted March 22, 2016 Global Moderator Share Posted March 22, 2016 Nice! My wife is very open to picking up a FZ07 as well. Now all the high end gear I have been researching for myself can now be outfitted to her. Fun stuff! What is the little black box mounted on the rear of her helmet? Looks like a Sena SMH10R Bluetooth antenna.battery, the antenna is internal to the controller not so much today, but kinda after the ride yesterday up to prescott, i noted more oil coming from my clutch-cover/waterpump area. went back to the dealer to gripe/moan about it, since they were supposed to have resealed it on thursday. they may end up replacing the right half of the motor at this point. accoring to the tech, the case is porous at the bottom of one of the bolt holes. this allows oiul top seep through the case, out and around the threads of the bolt and out onto my exhaust. where it stinks like a mo-fo Is anyone else having issues with their clutch side engine cover leaking oil? need to know if i'm alone in this.... 1 ATGATT... ATTATT, two acronyms I live by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you think caused it? 18.5k on the clock so far, but thursday was the 4th time they've attempted a repair on the same leak. so i'm not entirely sure what to do now. there is always a chance for porous spots in a cast piece of metal, but metallurgy has come a long way since the mid 60s casting porosity is more common than you'd think, though it seems to happen more often internally as far as engine blocks/cases go due to the assumption that everything needs to be made lighter and more efficient. 1 ATGATT...

Global Moderator jeffkisthename Posted March 22, 2016 Global Moderator Share Posted March 22, 2016 I hope they care of it for you @sorkyah. That's sucks news. I haven't seen much porosity in castings, but I have seen cracks. I see porosity in welding all day though lol.

Premium Member norcal616 Posted March 22, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted March 22, 2016 Sorkyah...is it possible a long bolt got threaded into that problem hole and accidentally cracked the back of the bolt hole casting... This happens once and awhile at my work on the product's we make...we just take a needle that can fit down the hole and fill it with " titanium putty"... Then " 're tap hole" and put the proper short bolt in... 1 2015 fz-07- Hordpower Edition...2015 fj-09- 120whp- Graves Exhaust w/Woolich Race Kit- tuned by 2WDW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree with you if not for the fact that the bolts holding the case cover on, are all the same save for 3, and those three are shorter and actually hold the pump to the case. The bottom red bolt is leaking due to a porosity issue the Yellow bolts are case bolts and almost 3x longer than the water pump bolts 1 ATGATT... ATTATT, two acronyms I live by.

go4geoff Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Just gave my ecu to a local motorsports shop I trust to have it reflashed. I have gone to them for mostly everything I wanted, so I'm trusting their local tune from a dyno will correct the obvious flaws of our bike. They have decades of race experience and tuning, so for the price and convenience I hope it runs more proper. 1 '15 Pearl White FZ-07 | Yoshi R77 Exhaust | ECU Reflash | Mad Hornets Shorty Levers | EvoTech Rad Guard | Yamaha Comfort Saddle | TST Industries Integrated Taillight | Motodynamics Fender Eliminator | Yamaha OEM Front LED Signals | Phillips MaxVision 130+ Bulb | OES Front/Rear Axle Sliders | Driven Racing TT Rearsets | Woodcraft 1.5" Clip-Ons | Woodcraft Engine & Water Pump Crash Cover | OEM Motocage Cage | LEDGlow SMD Mini Advanced Lighting Kit | Gilles Tooling Gauge Relocation Kit | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kojaxxx Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Put on some new mirrors. I might have to try some bar end ones at a later date to see which ones I like better. They do look nice in my opinion. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kojaxxx Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 They are pretty sharp looking aren't they? Well their Chinese knock off's of the Italian made Rizomo Circuit 744 Mirrors. The real Rizomo mirrors would of cost me over $400 (that's Canadian dollars) these were about $80 with shipping. When I seen how much it was going to cost me I said screw that Shet and found these that are about 99 percent the same. I'm not paying no dam $400 for mirrors. The quality is really good which I expected. (I have seen the actual real ones also). The mirrors are that sort of blue and anti glare. All billet aluminium. There really nice but i will need to order a couple of types of bar end mirrors to test for my personal preference. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
