faffi Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Good to hear you will mend! I crashed 10 days ago and for a change didn't break a thing on my body. Bike (my son's Honda) is basically beyond repair and the helmet cracked, but I was up and about immediately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinyribs Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 norcal16, I really hate that you went down, but really good to hear it wasn't worse than it was. But I'm not the one with a broken kneecap, so I'll leave that judgement up to you lol.  Hope you heal up straight and fast. Good luck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member norcal616 Posted October 7, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted October 7, 2017 @ i28 @ faffi @ shinyribs  thanks for the well wishes... already got the parts on order...only $300 to replace all the broken plastics, new handlebar, shift and clutch lever... not a scratch on the motor cases. only a tiny little paint scrape on the left side motor mount... exhaust side was not even touched...  as for the broken knee cap- its really not that painful for me as 12yrs I did the same thing to my left knee but did far worse damages by pulling all my knee tendons to just shy of snapping...  my leathers- hardly any damage- just a few road rash marks on the right forearm area- oddly no road rash marks on my leather pants...  helmet is junk-  always wear your gear and helmet peeps!!!  even just to run a short errand across town... 2 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 also ordered a new one just in case... as for the frame i do not see any obvious paint stress around the welds... 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...
derekfz Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Rolled over 10,000 miles on my 6 month old 2016 fz-07. The quest for 100,000 miles is started lol. And installed mirror extenders on my stock mirrors now I can see fully behind me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faffi Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Rode it 230 km together with my oldest son and his '77 Z650 under a clear blue sky. The autumn air was crisp and with a low of 3C / 37F and a high of 12C / 54 F, we needed all the clothing we could don. The Givi hand guards together with the Yamaha heated grips were real blessings. The little windscreen and to a lesser degree the Bagster tankbag also helped reduce the chill effect. A great Sunday 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedriver1 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 (edited) Installed the TST smoked taillight. It looks amazing when it's off, the running lights and brake are great but the turn signals aren't nearly as bright as the stock lights. As a temporary solution I just have the stock lights Y'd in so it's visible and maintains the correct flash rate. Â Next step is a fender eliminator and figuring out the turn signals. I'm thinking of replacing the rear side covers with mesh and putting an LED strip there to keep the sleek tail and increase visibility.

digitalsteve Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Dropped it off for the 1000km service. Picked it up. Took it back because the brake light wasn't coming on. Found out I need a new rear brake switch. Swore. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is looking from the back but you just have to turn that nut by hand until the light comes on. Edited October 10, 2017 by afatrat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michigan400 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Went for a ride Sunday after taking the Givi screen back off. Seems quieter without it and I'm not sure if I even like the looks of the screen anymore. Might just stick with the naked look or try the Yamaha front cowl. Meh,,, thinking LED signals next anyway so not gonna worry about it until next spring. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
