Premium Member Mr.Puss Posted March 27, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted March 27, 2016 Changing it up... These kickers should have been black to begin with; I powder coated mine matte black as well, and IMO they look much "tougher". That air vest came in, I just have to bug my wife to take some glamour shots and I'll post em up. Crush your enemies. See them driven before you. Hear the lamentations of their women. Fuss Life.

autoentropy Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Took a nice long 2 1/2 hr ride out to lake Bartlett and back. Only had to stop to clean bugs off my visor three times LOL. Smart of me to pack some cleaner and a microfiber towel in my backpack. Oh, and getting hit in the adam's apple by a bug while going 90 is no bueno. I was out there on Friday. Awesome ride. Doing Apache Trail tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Jeckler Posted March 27, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted March 27, 2016 To Tortilla Flat? If you have any fillings, they'll be rattled out before you get there, due to the frost heaves. On the other hand, if you want some company, let me know, - Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cassecou Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Daughter got ready for the riding season. My wife made her custom kevlar jeans. She also got to try her new pink leather jacket and her own sena bluetooth. She stepped up this year and rode pillion out into the streets (her idea). She rode 10 miles around 35 mph streets. Watch out..... she is now hooked for life, she might even demand for you to keep that FZ for her to own when she turns to riding age 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delbee1 Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Well I have 3033 miles on the clock so decided to do an oil change. I went to Yamaha yesterday and picked up an oil filter and drain bolt washer, I already had the oil which was Silkolene Pro 4. Only problem is the garage door broke when trying to close it, after around 30 mins I managed to get it closed but its not right so looks like tomorrow I'll be trying to fix that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll post a picture later when it's light out, but I ended up removing the piece of plastic between the passenger pegs, cutting down the left side enough to fit the reservoir, and mounting it directly inside of the passenger peg.

Guest ChicagoAJ Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Tightened my chain, very loose after the first 160 miles. Those plates on the swingarm are a b*@[HASH]h to get even when tightening the axle. Only had half an hour and still didn't get them perfect. Will try again tomorrow.

Guest ChicagoAJ Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 I think instead of these I'm just going to measure from the recession in the swingarm to the beginning of the circle in the plate on each side. That should be better than using the hash marks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I bought both because I first got the Motion Pro then read that they can be inaccurate. I bought the laser and it really just confirmed that the Motion Pro was accurate enough for me (but the laser thing is cooler and easier). I didn't need to take anything off to use either one.
