    Instead of, so if you buy new filter at the dealer that is what you get, not the pad. And there is no choice.

    Stay away from this Air filter

    These filters are the official Yamaha replacement filter fitted to new Super Teneres pre-delivery. Apparently the filter fitted at the factory is inadequate for Australian conditions. The crankcase breather inlet has now a foam cap fitted.

    FJR 1300

    I had two FJRs, a 5 and 6 speed and absolutely loved them. A fantastic bike on the open road with an unparalleled turbine smoothness. Can be a bit of a handful on the tight twisty back roads though because of its weight. Particularly the down hill sections. I have taken them on dirt roads and...

    Tips for cleaning windshield?

    It made an absolute mess of mine FJR windshield, like tiny cracks and was told it was caused using Windex. So i would never use it.

    s10 042 fault code

    I'm not saying your case could be the same but that the fault lies elsewhere. These sensors are pretty simple and unless they have some visual damage there is probably nothing wrong with them.

    s10 042 fault code

    What you have to remember it says "Rear wheel sensor, no normal signals are received from the rear wheel sensor". That does not necessarily mean it hasn't been sent. I had the a similar issue and bought a new sensor. In the end it was a workshop mistake with mixing up the wiring plugs.

    Need Help with cylinder head torque sequence.

    Yes, but in the right sequence, so don't do 1, 2, and 4 first, and then 3, 5 and 6, but first 1, then 2, then 3, then 4, then 5 then 6. And use the specified angle for the individual bolt.

    Need Help with cylinder head torque sequence.

    1) Tighten all bolts 1 -6 to 14 ft-lbs for the initial tightening to ensure they are all seated and home, in the sequence as shown on the diagram. (Don't worry about any angle at this stage) 2) Use the same sequence for the final tightening by angel but be aware that bolts 1, 2 and 4 require a...

    Just make sure you follow the manual and tighten the bearing nut initially to 50 ft/lbs to settle the bearings and cups, fully loosen the the nut and then final tighten to ( i think) 15ft/lbs
