It's been a long time since I've visited this forum - traded my bike for a bagger a couple years ago (yeah, I'm that old). I was cleaning out some stuff in my garage the other day and I came across my old windscreen and thought maybe somebody might want it. It was the factory windscreen but I...

Any thoughts on what coolant to use? I know it has to be for aluminum but is automotive coolant OK?

It is past due but since it runs so cool I never really worried about it. I guess that would be a logical step and just plain old good maintenance. I would hate to do the flush & new coolant and then find the sensor still needed to be replaced. That's why I'm asking about the relationship with...

I checked the fuse first thing, it's good. How do I know the temp in degrees? I read through my owners manual and I don't see a way to get any engine temp except the bars.

Thanks for the suggestion but the fan turns freely. As a matter of fact I did a test not in the manual. I removed the fan motor relay and jumped across the leads that would be made if the relay kicked in - the fan ran perfectly. I also followed the test instructions for the relay and it appears...

My FZ is a little over 3 years old now (an '06) and has just under 20K on the odometer. A couple weeks back I was looking at campsites in a campground - lots of stops & idling in neutral while I noted good looking campsites. As I was finishing up I noticed that my temp gauge was showing hot -...

I guess you don't need the spine protector in your jacket then :Flash:

I'm jealous! Lake Powell?

Just watched them do this on time warp last night - at like 500 frames per second no less. That bead is seated now!

Sounds like fun but I'm going to the fair tomorrow (Beer Fest day!) I do get some Friday's off so maybe another time - I like weekday rides when the traffic is a little lighter out there.

I new there was a reason for having kids! (j/k, it's Father's Day and I'm proud and happy to be one!)

One of the guys I ride with mentioned to me that my tail light was wobbling and I wanted to just blow it off thinking it was just the rubber mounts. However, on inspection I found one of the mounting bolts had come out. Moral of the story, check things for missing bolts, then forget about it :Flash:

OMG, the guy in front is wearing Levi's :spank: Surely, he will go straight to hell :eek:

I go for a walk at lunch. The plant is right on the bay so there is a bit of scenery and, IT'S OUTSIDE! :D
