Do you have aftermarket bar ends? If so, make sure they are not pinching the throttle tube. I had to use a washer as a spacer on mine.

lolup That was actually pretty funny. They were out of stock for a couple months, so I quit looking for a while. I was set on these, so it was worth the wait, especially for only $50 including tax and shipping. Oh, and it only took a couple days to get here... :nana:

Finally got my pegs from Outlaw. They are nice quality, come with hardware and were very easy to install.

5w40 and 15w40 are the same viscosity at operating temps. The lower number is when it's cold. That's why it's called multiviscosity oil.:D

Do you have a Power Commander to add fuel also? Hesitation would not be surprising if no fuel was being added with those mods. Temporary fuel starvation?

Apologies for being MIA and not getting back to this thread. I used plain old bearing grease. The only other thing to come close to levers would have been chain wax/cable lube from when I used it to lube the cables. Btw, I wrapped the levers with rags to protect them when I did it.

Got mine in Feb. Was happy with them until the anodizing started coming off. Sent FDB pics and all they said was it must have been due to a chemical reaction, not their fault. Only "chemical" that's come near them was lube. Does this sound right?

I finally quit droolin' and got one. That'n thar is mine :cowboy: The Graves is too sweet, but the MIVV was expensive enough! BTW Twitch, I'm sure it's been said hundreds of times, but PJs Parts is a great vendor for MIVV. Best prices and all. Believe me, I looked...

Short. Nice sound.

Just wanted to add something for those wondering if/why they should do this. Yes, it gets rid of the popping. No, it will not hurt anything. The other reason is that if you ever get a PC and go a to good tuner, they will want it blocked or removed. Allowing fresh air into the exhaust messes...

I don't think the AIS on these bikes is actually a pump. Rather, it relies on vacuum from the exhaust to draw air in. That means the "outlet" side actually is the header. Drawing oil vapor into the exhaust seems like a bad idea. Eventually O2 sensors, catalytic converters (if you have them)...

I think riding the FZ is like a potent drug, and it's got everyone hallucinating different smells. Unfortunately, mine usually smells like burnt cash...

I've emailed Spencer, and while he can't necessarily lower the seat, he doesn't necessarily raise it either. Comfort is achieved by reshaping and inserting a honeycomb material that's supposed to be superior to gel. Maybe he could get your baboon butt to at least not look like it's in heat! Lol

Spencer's will be getting my business very soon I think (as soon as funds recover from other purchases). It should be noted that he does not supply seat covers, but is willing to install one if you send it to him. A totally custom seat for less than a Yami gel? That's what's up...

LEDs can sometimes appear brighter. Make sure to match the bulb color to the lens color. This place has lots of info and options Super Bright LEDs - Brake Light, Turn Light and Tail Light Bulbs P.S. check out this mod http://www.998cc.org/forum/gen-ii-mods/1436-pod-mod-lights.html

I just got my PCIII delivered, which has opened the door to 'flies mods, cat gut etc. so I too have been heavily searching fueling threads. It seems to me the 'flies thing is more a riding style preference than anything (WOT vs roll on ). You read about no flies bogging at lower rpm? It seems...

I was looking at one and was kinda daydreaming over the factory powder coated black handlebar risers (lower). Dealer couldn't even pull up microfiche to price 'em yet though.

That's the smell of the stock seat getting hot after a hundred miles or so. :rolleyes: Butt seriously... Wannabe, I assume you had to lift the tank to run the wires? Make sure you didn't pop off any hoses (like crankcase vent). If not I would probably go with the new bike smell theory...

For the time being, I am just going to run the pods as "always on" running lights, and the side markers as blinkers. Probably try and talk to some of the LED vendors @ Bike Week and see if they have any solutions.
