CriticalCore Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 I attempted to install the center stand, but the aftermarket Arashi footpegs are too close to the frame, brake lever would get sandwiched between the mounting bolts. I've got a clutch case mounting bracket for my phone gps, what could possibly go wrong next... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very reasonable cost, easy to attach, seems well made, and most importantly for me now I can check the gauges with a glance instead of a head nod . Is there any wind screen that would attach with the gauge relocation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phanomenal07 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Ordered Motul 7100 10w-40 synthetic ester oil. I’ll let you guys know if my problem goes away or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe he also designed some brackets that will allow the the use of a Yamaha flyscreen. Other than that I don't know of one that will work without some modification. I had a 39cm Ermax fairing on mine before I moved the gauge, and to be honest I haven't missed it so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liquidmetal Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Finally rode mine after a 2 1/2 week hiatus. Non-stop rain here the past two weeks, the few opportunities to ride had me on my Vulcan. The brief time away from my FZ made me appreciate it even more, such an awesome ride it is. Hate the thought that I will be putting it into winter storage soon. Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.

Night and day difference between the two bikes in virtually every respect. I like the Vulcan (which is why I keep it around) but the FZ will always be my favorite by a wide margin. If I had to get rid of one, the Vulcan would be gone tomorrow. Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.

Maybe a B12 shot for you would make things right? A lot of people do that when they get to feeling like they have no energy. Do you have allergies? Maybe your doc could pinpoint the problem.

Ninjasmoker Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 I finally changed my oil today. I got all that foul and cheap peterolem crap the previous owner left in there for me. I gave her Motul 10w40 full syn to drink. The nice expensive Red stuff Yeaaaaa. My bike roared like a BEAST after it was done. Instant performance boost. Hellyea. Next weekend is 8k mile Spark Plug replacement and install new chain and a +2 sprocket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next weekend is 8k mile Spark Plug replacement and install new chain and a +2 sprocket Do as you wish, this is just a heads up but if your bike is starting good and running good you don't have to do that spark plug change at that interval. You can wait until it starts to show signs of it lacking in performance. Mine didn't lack any performance until well after the stated interval.
