Ive seen far nicer units than mine sell for less than $5k With 72,000 miles on my 2009 FJR, she isn’t worth much, except to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimTheAzn Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 Replaced the front brakeline hardware on the SV. Was able to bleed the brakes as well (took what it seemed like forever) but got em bled. Now I need to replace a relay and re-solder 4 connections, hopefully that fixes my headlight not turning on issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
what Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 Ordered a new rear spring for the XR100 + the coil compressor tool needed for the task. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qman Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 Sent my shock in to http://go-race.com/ for a higher rate spring and internals re-built on my WR250R, to help support my fat ass and lotsa luggage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max power Posted March 13, 2018 Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 Put my new to me pro-cycle seat (thanks Danimal) on the DR and had the wife sit on it with me. Seems like it's gonna be a much bigger upgrade than expected. Nice and wide on the back, which she likes and narrow up front for standing. A little taller than the Suzuki low seat I had on it so I'm not flat footed anymore but not too bad and will likely be worth it for comfort. Probably need to get some bar risers now. Really digging this thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobhawkins Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 Cleared the catch can on the xr, runs better. Still needs more love to catch up with Andy's... new trailer is great, should easily hold four big bikes, or one decent sized tractor. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gump Posted March 20, 2018 Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 Rode it on a recommended twisty road in NC. It was like a sucky road to get to good roads in Ohio but good roads never came. Like 6 curves. :/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
what Posted March 20, 2018 Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 Removed all the useless stickers from the race bike, kept the ones that mattered, with slight alterations. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killer_kaw Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 Took the Connie for a ride today. Finally got my fork cartridges installed and had to try them out. Very composed. Can’t wait to get the shock. 37 degrees really wasn’t bad for an hour or so with that big fairing and gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like how y'all take your picture in front of it beaming with pride. Very Greenacres-ish. Nice tractor too. I'm jelly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JustinNck1 Posted March 26, 2018 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 Got home after work, it was 6:30, 58 degrees. I had to take the bike out for a spin. Did a short 30 mile loop of nothing but twisties. Didn't have my stich at the house, so I wore my new leather suit. It was surprisingly comfortable. This bike is just insane. Gonna take some time to get used to how much easier it is to flick around compared to the FJR. 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey man, not every day ya pick up your dads 15 year old Deere with a 28 year old truck on a brand new trailer! If it all went to hell, we needed to remember the good times we had before we made it to the end of the driveway! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killer_kaw Posted March 29, 2018 Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 Started working on the zrx today and learned a new trick. Replaced the single valve springs with doubles and dropped in a set of bump sticks with a little more lift. All that without removing the head. Put 2’ of rope down the cylinder so I wouldn’t drop a valve and used a fancy spring compressor from a fella on the zrx forum. Still gotta adjust the lash,swap the ignition and wire in a new cdi unit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max power Posted March 29, 2018 Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 Adjusted valves on the ol yamadog yard pig. Shes been slacking on the power here lately. Both intake and exhaust were tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had them below the bars and they were completely useless when moving. Now that I have moved them up, I haven't rode with them adjusted correctly. The mirrors I got are just cheap eBay ones.

jacobhawkins Posted March 31, 2018 Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 I'd agree with that, at least. Rode the absolute hell out of Izzy today. Little chilly still, but well worth it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
