what Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 @Tonik trying to start fights. I was referencing MW. I was talking more about his speech mannerisms rather than his channel. Does he do a lot of stupid shit? Yep. Are his videos entertaining? They can be. He just doesn't strike me as the sharpest tool in the shed is all.

PhilD'oh! Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 Rode the Urinal to work in the snow this morning. I was covered in salt by the time I got there. This doesn't happen on the FJR. Anyway, I washed it as soon as I got home, er...as soon as I got the hose thawed out. Utility tube full of hot water did the trick. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
what Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 I looked sadly at my Triumph that's living outside this week under a cover. Next week it gets its own garage! Well, it gets to share a garage with the Duc and new car. Moving sucks, but then it doesn't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I can safely transport a 6-pack of beer and carry a medium pizza at the same time. It was an easy decision. I took the money that could've gone to a bicycle, on my motorcycle. However now I can roll out of hot pit and get on it faster than I could the triumph. It was an easy decision. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustinNck1 Posted March 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 (edited) So i ordered my fork springs from Traxxion Dynamics on 02/20. I waited until 03/10 to get the springs, which showed up with none of the required spacers or washers. I call the next day and they say they forgot and their shipping the hardware out. So I received the hardware last night, install everything and guess what. The springs are wrong. The springs need to be tapered for the FJR and these are not, causing the spring to slide past the cartridge. Just got off the phone with them, they admit they screwed up but I have to wait 3 weeks for another set of springs. Needless to say, I'm pissed. New springs are being ordered, but I'm calling RaceTech to see if they can get them faster somehow.

I actually got to speak to the tech that serviced my forks to answer questions/concerns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinNck1 Posted March 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 Just got off the phone with RaceTech. They have the springs and guide kit in stock. Traxxion is processing my refund. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinNck1 Posted March 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 Scratch that, Traxxion's machinist discovered that a washer at the bottom of the spring could resolve the issue, so they are overnighting me a set of washers. RaceTech never called me back to complete my order (Their Ordering system was down and they were supposed to call me back for payment info). So hopefully, I can get the forks put back together tomorrow. New PIAA horn set was just delivered, so I have that to work on and I need to do a clutch fluid flush.

I wouldn't mind stepping mine up, just don't want to start cutting wires and putting in relays and more failure points..... It's the slim dual kit with a 500hz and 400hz. The 2013+ FJRs only had one, but they still left the cutouts for 2. It's just a plug and play for one, and a jumper to the other. Here is the kit I ordered. Seen a bunch of guys have them. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004FXMGLY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very Quiet and easy to use. I purchased them 5 years ago for the Wife to use while I was deployed away for short periods I made her a video of set-up/operation and she had no problems during storm related power outages.I keep the fuel fresh and change oil annually. If you need extra power the EF2000iS has a parallel function lets you connect two generators to deliver up to 30 amps with a kit. 30amps is also good for a RV/Camper off grid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustinNck1 Posted March 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2017 Just got my horns installed and wow they sound good. Not a ridiculous loud, but definitely louder than stock by alot. The tone is way better though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killer_kaw Posted March 17, 2017 Report Share Posted March 17, 2017 I got one of the forks off my mean streak and was able to tear it down. This bike has separate function forks and they're a pain to work on. Got the hard one apart so it shouldn't be bad now. New springs this weekend.
