Anyone know what size bolts Yamaha gives you to install the windscreen? If I got longer ones of the same size/thread depth, that should fix i Put her away after filling her up Am currently in Los Angeles, will be heading out in the morning back to Phoenix This trip has been an emotional roller coaster and I'm glad it's over 1 ATGATT...

I haven't ridden it throughout the winter and now am in the process of cleaning it up/doing minor repairs. I tried using WD-40 to get the rust off, but I seemed to have just made it worse. The chain now looks mucked up and dirty and I'm not sure where to go from here. (2016 FZ-07) The only way to remove rust is abrasion or acid. Vinegar works very well, but I'm not sure if it could harm your o-rings or not. Anytime you use an acid to remove rust, you also have to go back and neutralize the acid. Baking soda dissolved in warm water works great for this. But really, a little surface rust won't hurt anything. Personally, I only clean my chains with kerosene. Very low odor and doesn't leave any crazy films or anything behind. If you do decide to attack it with a wire brush be sure to keep the wire bristles away from the o-rings. Or use a nylon bristled brush to be safe. Though I'm not sure soft bristles would be any use anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would do a test spot for about 1 minute to see how well that worked before I increased the time. If you buy it definitely read the directions carefully.

Blitz6804 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Miku got to test the "top speed" function of the speedohealer. Got on the thruway for a long, salty ride, and when I got home, I pressed that little red button. Sure enough, it shows the highest speed reached!

WankyMcTugger Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I got it home from the dealer on a trailer with 0 miles. I put the akrapovic ti on it, removed the snorkel, and flashed it with the 2wdw tune. Then I put my first 9 miles on it. Currently waiting for it to cool down fully so I can put the second heat cycle on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blitz6804 Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Forgot to post it yesterday... What did I do to my FZ-07 today? Sent it sliding into a snowbank. =( I just ordered the replacement plastic parts from partszilla; about $75 and you'll never notice it had gone for a slide. I just need to get the front wheel realigned in the fender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blitz6804 Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 I'm just bruised in about eight places. My gear has some scuffs in it, including a hole in my jacket's sleeve. At least it did what it was supposed to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least it did what it was supposed to? Airplane pilots have that saying, (you've probably heard it) "Any landing you can walk away from is a good one". I think the same applies here. Gj landing and glad you aren't banged up too awfully bad. On a good note, now your jacket has character! (patch) Stay frosty! 3 1 Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Benh972 Posted March 9, 2019 Premium Member Share Posted March 9, 2019 (edited) A couple of days ago I installed my OEM windscreen I bought with the bike. https://www.amazon.com/YAMAHA-TINTED-WINDSCREEN-WINDSHIELD-1WS-F83J0-V0-00/dp/B016WSXII4 Then I rode her down to the harbor freight parking lot sale today. Got some Microfiber towels, racket swivels and extenders and some shop gloves. Edited March 9, 2019 by Benh972 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got one of those a couple years back, it comes in handy and barely changes the profile of your bike when it's all zipped up and not in use.
