Another very satisfied customer of Ivan's Performance Products, ECU flash! Driveability is very much improved. It's virtually a different engine, now with a smooth power delivery through out, removal of annoying throttle transitions - especially between shifts with closed throttle - and...

Great! Thank you. I've disconnected everything you said before except the stacks and bottom of the box. I'm going for it.

Anybody give me a short tutorial on how to remove the ECU? Sending to Ivan for re-flash, but not sure how to remove it. I have a 2008 FZI and I understand the ECU is located below the air box. However, before I start disconnecting things, I'd really like some pointers from someone who's done...

Agree with Fishermann322. Unless there is a mechanical problem with your center stand, then it is the technique you;re using that's the problem. The majority of the effort should be in your leg and body weight as you stand on the center stand while gently pulling the bike backwards with your...

Risers from 2011 Star VX 250 installed in reverse direction. Puts me forward approx. 1" and 2" lower. Clearance is tight, but not dangerous. For me, this is far better than the stock bar config, with it's upright seat position. Able to stretch out over the tank and better position on the...

Suburban Machinery told me they're no longer producing the their bar for the 2006+ FZ1.

Bump :chat: Any more you can share on ride impression? Questions: Any difference in width? Wrist angle intersect? What do you like most about the change? Any disappointments? My kit to arrive tomorrow, so I guess I'll know all the answers soon enough. Thanks for you post and pics!

I do have a sport-biker's reticence to say the word-Croosier (my fingers won't type it) But, I admit to a flirtation with the Triumph Thunderbird. Go for it. What ever flips your skirt!

I'm guessing he got the second balance pole from some one in the balloon gondolas. Where else could it have come from? Or is it a second pole? If you run the tape slowly while he's dropping the pole, it looks to me like someone in the forward gondola grabs it out of the air.

Suggest you do a search for the following: "Seats" "Saddles" "Sargent" , "Corbin", "Top Saddlery" There are a lot of opinions and postings regarding aftermarket saddles. Perhaps the most popular are 1.) Sargent 2.) Corbin 3.) Top Saddlery 4.) Yamaha Comfort seat (although Yamaha doesn't make...

I'm not a soccer fan, but it seems like you're being too tough on the goalie. Looks to me like he guessed wrong and went right and his momentum wouldn't let him make a play to the left. Perhaps his tactics were all wrong, I don't know, but it seems like a legitimate goal even if poorly defended.

Ditto on that. I have a vivid memory of ....well, a gory accident I saw up close. I've always been one to cover-up, but this event reminds me to always be vigilant and pay attention. Statistics just aren't on our side so we have to do things to improve the odds. Lets be safe out there.

Firefox was my preferred browser, but a couple of weeks ago I switched to Google Chrome and now it's my preferred browser. Seems to load more quickly.

I know the feeling. I used to work with mostly women and there are times when the dialogue of a group of Venusians just messes with the equilibrium of a Martian. (ref: Men are from Mars, women are from Venus)
