Another option would be to run them to the battery through a relay, and connect the relay solenoid to a switched +12V source. That way you won't increase the current load (significantly) on the switched +12V source. (switched +12V source like headlights may not have enough margin in current...

I haven't used 80, but the description says it's for rubber & vinyl. Since you're using fabric it's probably not what you want. Super 77 is very common, and in the US it's available in most auto parts stores.

3M Super 77 spray would be my go-to solution.

OP mentioned a Juicebox in the mod list, presumably that would be used to correct the A/F ratios after the rest of the mods are installed?

+3 on FZ1 bar.

I agree. They're like the Harbor Freight of motorcycle gear. (not that I have anything against HF - they have their place and I shop there too)

Best way to do it:

Congrats on the new bike. Too bad the weather wasn't cooperative, the roads up there are beautiful!

I just installed a set of Oxford grips on my FZ-07. Box says they draw <4A, which would be <48W.

For stubborn or seized bolts, a shot of PB Blaster beforehand is always good too.

I would not spend extra on a K&N. Get an OEM replacement (or equivalent). OEMs design the factory air filter to flow as much as is needed. A K&N might flow more, but if the OEM isn't a restriction then it's not going to matter.

Depends on the state. I got licensed in CA, and there you don't have to take a class. If you do take the MSF class and pass the test, you get a waiver for the riding test at the DMV (which is just riding around a figure 8 anyway). Classes and lessons are not mandatory though.

If you like to ski, Mt Rose is a good option if you live in Reno. It's close and doesn't get as crowded as some spots in Tahoe, and it's got some good terrain too. Upvote from a Reno native! :)

I've mostly used Lyft, which is pretty much the same thing. It's fantastic. I'll never take a cab again if I can avoid it.

Europe uses a different rating system (RON) than the US (AKI), so the numbers will be different.
