  1. Of all the valves I've checked - car or bike - I only came across two that were on the line, not even out of spec. If you had to compress the tensioner, it may be stuck unless you saw it spring back.

    Sounds pretty good in the videos. Is it that random muffled clacking? Seems to be great with revs. Could be gears and chains naturally lashing about at idle.

  2. The Yamaha FJR1300 is famous for that. Problem has been determined to be valve guides. My '03 never got it but countless have. Does this model of yours have any history of this?

    In determining if someones FJR had the 'tick', you would always have to ask yourself if you're just hearing to much into it. Injectors naturally tick and some valve tick can be normal until operating temps come up.

  3. Sounds like you need a new fan motor. Here's a good check - take a house box fan and set it on top of the unit so it blows upward. Turn it on high and hit the AC. If you get cooling, then nothing else is wrong. I think in the least, you need a fan motor.

  4. until ducati makes a actual frame like the rest of the bikes in the field, the front feel on it will always suck. a carbon fiber frame is not the way to go. especially when you have a 7 time world champion telling you the lack of feel is no good, it's time to hang up the idea.

    Reppies:bow:

  5. Megan, I thought you were in a cage because you called it your 'drive in to work'. I was trying to think of the Road Rage Hotline number. Times like this it would be nice to be able to make a phone call in your helmet. Glad you made it out.

    Don't worry about the asshat. Stupidity is a self-correcting problem.

  6. If it is debris, I don't doubt it. The city highways look like Baghdad. If you had to pull over or swerve into the berms in a hurry, there are some places where you could be in big trouble. Then there are the semis going 70+ through the heart of town.

    RIP passenger, and heal well rider.

  7. I have tons of harddrive magnets if someone wants to try.

    That's not bad, I've got some too. I bought some disk shaped super magnets to attach speaker grills. They're so strong that if I try to pull the grill off, I'll basically destroy it:wtf:
