Sorry, just got to it this weekend. It worked! I picked up some penetrating oil for about $3 from auto-zone and gave it a small squirt on the outside of the TBs where the axle for the butterflys go through, let it sit for about a min then tried it, no change. Next I pulled my tape/plastic...

Rode it daily for years when I had a POS car (or even no car). Better job, new car, kinda out of the "sport bike" thing = sat for a long time, sucks not being 21 anymore. I'll head out and see if I can find any of those oils you mention and then give it another try.

Coming back to this after a long time. Yes, she's been sitting the whole time. Had the bike since new, ~20k miles. Recent maintenance: Had new chain and sprockets installed by dealer, who also noted leaking oil from the forks (sigh) and replaced the seals there. I've torn it down to how...

'07 FZ6 I know what you're thinking, yet another stuck throttle thread. Just lube the cables! I've dissembled the grip & cable housing, everything's moving freely there (well, the grip needs some TLC, 10 years of being an "outside bike", but it still turns freely with the cables...

Glad to hear back from from you and that your doing better. Do you have any new pictures of the current setup? I picked up an i2c display for my Pi and I'm curious if I could replicate this setup on that platform (after I finish learning python).

Here's the comparison shot, same camera settings (ISO, shutter, aperture, etc) In the same room and with the same lighting. The lighting on the desk being dark and spotty is an artifact of the high shutter speed and florescent lighting, so pay it no attention.

Another gentleman over on SBW forums fabbed the board and was building them for a while, but he stopped and I bought the last of his boards a few years ago. I made a dozen or so and then life intervened. Still have a stack of the boards in the garage.

Sorry to thread necro, but I promised these and never delivered. I have a comparison with it and one of the generic $20 ebay units, however they are not in the same frame and while I believe the ISO settings are the same, I can't grantee it. My cost to fab these last time I made them was on...

You should grab some of these and replace the stock light with it. Example:

I'd have to crunch some numbers and find the parts, but I still have quite a few DIY kits for LED tails. Same kit can be setup integrated or non-integrated. The non-integrated version uses 96 of the brightest damn LED's I've ever used. I'm at work, I'll have pics of it installed when I get home...

I follow somewhere in the middle. I start the bike as soon as I walk up to it and then continue putting on gear. By the time I'm done with that the gauge is reading a temperature and the book says it's safe to ride at that point. Keep it easy in low RPM's until the engine finds it sweet spot of...

Quick question: How do you guys keep track of past maintenance? Anyone have a slick program/phone-app/spreadsheet? Any tips & tricks? My google-foo came up with this spreadsheet template: Vehicle Maintenance Log - Templates - Office.com

Got the tracking email from stamps.com Should I be concerned that it says "Shipped on: November 1, 2008"?

You need to put this in the first post along with all the pics, as this thread will get rather long, I doubt most people will know to go to page 11 for the instructional video. Edit: Funds sent. Sent via "gift" so it should bypass those pesky paypal fees for receiving money.

Dear god. Grabbed 1 each of his 100 packs for amber, red, and white for my future projects and added him to my fav ebay seller list. $8 SHIPPED from China? Yes please, I don't care if half of em are junk, thats still a fantastic deal.

So they remove something from the formual.... and raise the price? Nice.

Will the subframe plastics fit on an 07? Looks similar, but I've not take mine out before so I cant be sure.

Interested in a few bolts I've managed to loose, still have parts available?

Hm, Autolumination's stuff always seemed cheap to me. Heard nothing but compliants about how dim their LED modules were. Please correct me if I am mistaken, but thats what I've read/heard. Theres a post running around the forums here of a plug 'n play brake light flasher that just sits between...

Just got mine in the other day finally. Will have to see if I cant get compare it to the ones I made (I couldn't pass up $20 for this with the clear lens!)
