texastj Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Congrats on your fresh marriage. If you want your wife to be a regular passenger, do consider a motorcycle made for that purpose. And please wear some protective gear - it hurts just looking at the pictures. Even though you may be in control, you do not have the road to yourself. Understood, this definitely won't be a regular occurrence with this bike. These pictures were taken in the neighborhood without traffic before we took off.

faffi Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Glad to hear that Try to borrow or steal a cruiser with a big pillion seat and some back support and see if your wife enjoy that more - you may end up lucky and find out that you can share the experience frequently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjohn Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 just installed new levers from amazon, see link belowhttps://www.amazon.com/MZS-Clutch-Levers-Yamaha-Diversion/dp/B01LNEGSHU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1497117455&sr=8-1&keywords=mzs+levers i have a question, do you need to adjust the clutch cable affter installing new lever? i noticed the lever doesn't really go back to position after disengage. i twisted the knob to tighten it, is this correct? thanks!

Redstang4 Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Most certainly need to. Adjust it so that the clutch isn't engaged while the lever is out. Otherwise it's up to you how you want it. Some like the clutch to engage just as you start to pull the lever(think short/quick shift), while others like to pull the lever closer to the grip before it engages. Your comfort level is somewhere in there. Yes the knob should be enough to adjust it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sergiob Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Just installed the PROTON 500 FLUSHMOUNTS, awesome product, I saw them on JakeSnake channel and he had to solder them, but now they include the factory connector, just had to drill a small 5/32 in the plastic support and ready to go, awesome!!!! Cleaner look and just washed it so looks sexy as hell! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossco Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 why did you have to drill anything? I did no drilling.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergiob Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 why did you have to drill anything? I did no drilling..Hmmm, so the screw would go through the plastic support and I could tight it against it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup...no drilling here either. Did you use the supplied washer? It goes on the inside of the plastic support and allows you to tighten the screw against the plastic.

Guest 2wheeler Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 I remedied a mistake I made. The last time I put gas in my FZ, I completely spaced out and put 87 octane in. After reading the many and varied thoughts on this forum, I have been running Shell 93 V-Power ever since I got my ECU flashed. Truth be known, I never did an experiment after the flash to see if there really was a difference until my recent goof-up. Yes, there was a noticable difference in my bike with it being more responsive after I got a full tank of Shell in it. Was it a huge difference... no, but I definitely noticed it.

Premium Member botticelli Posted June 12, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted June 12, 2017 Nice bike, Nice house, and slow and steady, thats how my wife got me into riding.... and look at me now LOL! I've had the bike for a year and the fiancée hasn't been excited about the fact that I've been riding. We've been married for two weeks and today she agreed to go for a ride. We did over 50mi of highway and back roads two-up. She even said it was kind of fun, although the back seat was quite uncomfortable for her. Second picture shows her laughing at me as I explain to her that I was taking pictures of cats for the riding game. 1 '16 FZ07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
