You guys probably don't have Canadian tire down in the states I imagine, and not that their tools could or would ever surmount to SnapOn or Mac stuff, but they've got lifetime warranty, "No Questions asked" and you can't beat the price either. http://www.canadiantire.ca/browse/product_detail.jsp?PRO...

The USD's pose a bit of a challenge with the special tools required but I've always been able to get around special tools it seems. Good luck, and good idea I think.

Hey Pacer, On shops insulting your machine, I'm kindof with Hooli here. On shops in general, time is money and all that, blah, blah. Because it is a very rare gift when and if you can find someone who will passionately work on your machine like it was their own, I would say, start turning wrenches m...

You bet John,

Sorry if I just spent more $$$ out of your pocket for you. You might/may have tried the NGK's and then said, these suck and gone back to the Yamaha's anyway, so in essence, I'm saving you money! :poke

John, I would not recommend NGK plug caps at all. Their resistance measures out at .5 instead of .9ohms. I have tried them and the machine did run noticabley worse. Although, some will say ahhh they're fine. I would, and have myself, bit\e the bullet and paid the Yamaha theives there pound of flesh ...

No my FZR doesn't have spring preload adjustment but I didn't really see one there unless that black slotted thingy is "the step collar in question".

Cheers.

Looks an awful lot like my FZR 1000's, if you wanna take some measurements for comparison, I've got mine sitting in a box now. Although, can't help you on the internals and that's obviously what really counts. Maybe see if you can find some part numbers or something on it and I'll also look for comp...

Ok, It was cheesy as a bag of Doritos, but it was truly Hilarious. William H, Macey on any machine on any given day is hilarious within itself, let alone the character they make'm out to be. Yes, I realize they are riding Hardley Dangerous bikes, but the whole plot of the movie is good. Good afterno...

Chrissy, I asked you about this b4 but I'm not sure you knew entirely what I was saying and you poo pooed me, so I'll try one more time. The ignition harness from the keyed switch itself uses too small a gauge for constant and it often leads to a melted molex right around the coils. I'm wondering if...
