nhchris Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Did a 300-mile day yesterday, with about 50 in the rain. Great chance to get to know my new Road 5s. Nothing like new rubber to inspire (false?) confidence. Was able to narrow the chicken strips in the dry and experiment with traction in the wet. All good and made it home with a dirty but happy bike. 3 1 1968 Triumph Bonneville 650 1971 Norton Commando Roadster 2002 Harley 1200 Sportster 2003 Honda ST 1300 2016 FJ 09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member superfist Posted September 14, 2019 Premium Member Share Posted September 14, 2019 I got the tools along with the tires (Michelin Road 5) and I did the front and rear tires last night! $40 Harbor Freight balancing stand worked nicely. Going for a long ride today and it's also the first time in 23k miles that I'll have new tires on front and rear at the same time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recently did mine using the original clip on weights that were on the wheels when I got it but I also used some stick on weights that have since departed. The wheels don't have good flat surfaces for stick ons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wheels don't have good flat surfaces for stick ons. I just used the steel stick ons from Harbor Freight. I've never seen the clip on style weights on my wheels, so I just continued using what was available. I had to clean the wheel really well to get them to stick. Also just a side note: I tried Windex this time around because a lot of videos showed it being used. I changed tires for years in an automotive shop and Windex doesn't compare to bead lube or bead wax. I'll be getting some bead lube or wax for the next change. On Topic: Yesterday I broke in the new tires with 350 miles and much of it in the mountains and leaned over. I got to ride with a friend who rides a Ninja 1000 who also had brand new tires. We swapped bikes for a bit and I loved the smoothness and feel of the 1000 engine, but while the bike felt smooth and planted, it also felt heavy. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer them cause the FJ's rims are to beautiful to foul up with stick on weights and yucky glue.

new1709rider Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 (edited) Well, I got my bike put back together this evening after getting my ECU back from 2WDW's yesterday. While I had it torn down that far I went ahead and did a throttle body sync for the first time. The bike has a little over 13,000 miles on it and the synchronization looked very close, I would say it was fine as it was. However since I was hooked up I went ahead and tweaked a bit. As far as the flash goes I think it feels pretty good and it doesn't stop pulling at 114 mph now. But since it's been down for a week it's hard to say how much better it feels because just getting on it again like it was would feel great! I had recently installed a complete Delkevic exhaust and on deceleration it would do a little popping and burbling which I didn't really mind. Now however after the flash it does some pretty loud backfiring. Is this normal or is the flash not quite right? Is there something I can do to stop it from backfiring? Also the check engine light has come on. Edited September 18, 2019 by new1709rider Addendum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
