    Just found this vid in 2024. About 35 or so years ago that area was popular among guys riding ATV's. The buildings were more complete back then and the trees more sparse. You could see a good ways around the old track and there were still signs of its racing days with the occasional old wheel or tire, and a few areas where they buried tires half way to form a barrier. There was more dumping going on then though, it looks like someone cleaned it up a bit since the 80's. I remember piles of old appliances and car tires dumped out there. At that point some of the wood structure was still intact but was burnt, likely by forest fires in that area over the years. The whole one end of the tract was still showing burned trees about 15ft or so tall still standing in the woods. A buddy who knew the area and grew up there in the 50's said that the area had a huge forest fire in the early 60's that wiped out a good bit of what remained and the subsequent growth after the fire, which I believe may have burned again, is a lot of what your seeing today. Most of those larger trees don't look super old, maybe 50 years or so tops. There were few large trees when I was there back then. There were also signs of vagrants living in those old buildings, with makeshift tarps over sections and old whisky bottles strewn around too. The nearby areas at the time were also not the best and most didn't go there alone as it had a reputation in later years as a place for drug deals and such. It looks like much of that may have been solved but I see the dumping hasn't stopped. I'm too old to go exploring these day so its nice to see what became of the places we knew years ago.

    Hi Mike, hope all is well for you & yours in 2024. I'm back because...after my 'perfect' rebuild I find oil on the garage floor after the winter break coming from the left fork. Went for a short (60 mile) ride and the next morning quite a bit more of oil on the floor. Any suggestions? Or do I have to do this all over again?! Update: watched some videos on using the seal mate tool (DIY) and gonna try that first. I'll get back to you here about my success/failure ratio... Addendum: well, that was kinda good for nothing...had to take the weight off the front end (floor jack to center stand) to expose that critical inch of fork (😛) to get the dust cap off but no matter where or how I could not get the Seal Mate to work! Managed to get it stuck in there but no way it was going to rotate around the fork 'a few times'. Joke's on me I supposed. Wiped everything down and cleaned it up, maybe my magic fingers succeeded where my pea-brain could not 🙃 Cheerios Mike! Addendum: took the leaker apart this morning and removed the guts (I really should've replaced the seals and bushings but they're almost new so I didn't). Not much oil left inside...lo and behold I found a mangled piece of plastic wrap in the works (that seal mate would not have been able to remove that). Your suggestion to use that as a softener to protect the seal when sliding it on over the inner tube. Didn't work well for me! Thanks again for EVERYTHING you've done for the FJR community - you are the go-to guy!

    Good video, Ive had these fitted to in the past to ZZR1400, they work very well and best upgrade to existing forks, any reason you didnt upgrade springs to Linear 10's as the FJR renowned for being "Soft" front and rear; and standard springs are progressive and tto soft? Im in UK and live close to K Tech and will be gettig this done by them to my FJR with uprated Springs, then upgrade rear shock to improve ride and match my new front end.

    • @mikesfjrcorner7129
      @mikesfjrcorner7129 6 днів тому

      No real reason other than I did not have the money at the time to do both. After the upgrade, the frontend handled much better. I'm sure the springs would make it even better. I'm not getting a lot of sag and I have not moved them from the stock k-tech settings.

    • @mikesfjrcorner7129
      @mikesfjrcorner7129 4 місяці тому

      Hello, check the description section of this video. It has the LEDs used and where to get them. The links for the dial plates are also in the description. There from Poland. Yes the original dial plates in my opinion were ugly. They also had bubbles in the paint. I also soldered a clear led into the circuit board to fill the hole in the lower part of the tach plate. It's just a dummy led, it does not light up. It's for a factory security system that's in the UK bike that we in the US don't have. The circuit board does have the traces for it without the components. No worries on which direction the led goes, just solder it to the height needed. If you replace the plates, use two spoons under the needle to get it off without troubles. Make sure the shaft does not turn and replace the needle in the exact same position. You may want to do a test run with a gps to verify speed before reassembling the front of the bike. Note these plates are plastic, don't over tighten the screws. I made that mistake. Over time the plastic rippled slightly around the screws probably from engine heat. Thanks Mike.

    NEVER put 18 wheeler oil in a two wheeler.i put rotella t6 in my gen 1, started it up and it was ticking and knocking like it was gonna blow up.these bikes don't like restrictive oil filters either as they only have 4 psi oil pressure at idle and oil won't get up to the valvetrain until 2500 RPM when it makes enough pressure to push it up to the top and stop ticking.a lot of the ticking videos and threads are due to wrong oil, filter or both

    • @mikesfjrcorner7129
      @mikesfjrcorner7129 8 місяців тому

      Sounds like a stuck injector. If you had a seal leak, that would just be a vacuum leak. All plugs are on the correct injector? The injector could be firing at the wrong cycle.

      I'm still thinking about a stuck injector. Maybe check the spark plug boots for connections. Maybe It's possible one cylinder is not firing and the unburnt fuel winds up in the exhaust. The plug boots screw onto the wire. What I've done before is: unscrewed them from the wire, cut off a 1/4" of wire and rescrew the cap back onto the wire.

      hello I think it's not the right path to follow it's the bike it would run on 3 cylinders that's not it because the engine speed is good I assume that it is not under pressure which means that the pump has gasoline sending in gasoline content to have what do you think?

      Somehow fuel has to jump from injector to exhaust without burning. So there are a few saneriaos. 1. If an injector is stuck open or damaged, it could dump fuel into the cylinder either while sitting and/or running, causing unburnt fuel to pump into the exhaust. 2. If the injector is connected to the wrong plug, it would spray at the wrong time. 3. If the cylinder is not firing for some reason, then unburnt fuel will be pumped into the exhaust. 4. Clogged passageways in the throttle body or bad seal on the injector causing the cylinder to misfire. You can check the temperature of each header. If one is lower than the rest then that cylinder could be misfirng. Then go from there to figure out why. A cylinder could sound like it's running ok but burning way rich, dumping unburnt fuel into the exhaust. Was the bike running before work and what was done to the bike. I would backtrack your steps. If anybody has any other thoughts I haven't thought of please chime in. Thanks, mike

    One more question. When you install the forks back in the triple tree, how do you know that they are lined up or rotated correctly?

    • @mikesfjrcorner7129
      @mikesfjrcorner7129 8 місяців тому

      Hello, In the triple tree the fork sits just above the clamps about an 1/8" or a few millimeters. Just make them the same height. Rotation is not an issue as once they are installed. The bottom of the fork can rotate to line up with the axle. Hope this helps, mike

    Why would you use grease to hold the piece in tube when you could use gravity? put the tube with the bottom facing up, put the piece in the tube and slide the outer housing down over the tube all while looking at the little bolt hole to see if it's seated.

    • @mikesfjrcorner7129

      This was a tip from k-tech in one of their videos to help prevent shifting of the cup in the bottom and also makes the assembly a lot easier. Let me explain. What you don't see is: during videoing I did assemble as a stack and slide the tube over. That's how I broke the valve. What you have to do to assemble the way you are describing is: remember if you put the cup in the end of the tube, it will just drop through. So, you have to hold the tube, then slide the cartridge into the tube, slide the cup into the tube and onto the top of the cartridge. Now lower the base onto the stack and get it to drop into a ridge on the cup. Now while holding the hole assembly, put the bolt in and finger tighten with an allen wrench. Well, the first time it went ok, but it was out of camera frame while shooting. So I did it a second time. However, during the process of holding the stack and putting the bolt in, the cup shifted off the ridge on the cup without me seeing it. When I started to tighten the bolt down, the lower valve snapped. I had very little pressure applied, with the cup not being in place correctly, the lower valve twisted and snapped before it was even close to being tight. Assembling the way k-tech suggested, allows the cup to align easier. Your not trying to hold everything together. The Grease helps in seating the cup into the bottom and also helps with accidental shifting of the cup. It also allows for better inspection of the cup after assembly. The little bit of grease will eventually dissolve. Mike.

    Just bought a 2013 FJR with 12K miles on it about 2 months ago. Whenever I buy used motorcycles (my other bikes for the past 35 years have all been dirt/MX), I always go through typical maintenance activities: oil and filter, check coolant levels, check valve clearance (dirt bikes need this frequently), maybe fork oil change (depending on hours on bike and bike type), and replace the plugs. Since this is a street bike, I've looked at maintenance intervals. The manual says for this bike to change plugs every 8K miles. Now, I know that might be if the plugs have normal plugs (not iridium). If others here run regular plugs, do you change yours that often? How well do those iridium plugs work in this bike?

    • @mikesfjrcorner7129
      @mikesfjrcorner7129 10 місяців тому

      Hello, I ran iridium's when I first got the bike and at the time I had vibration and rough idling. I figured out the problem was due to bad coils. After the coils were changed the engine smoothed out. A short time later I changed the oil and plugs back to stock. So I don't have a very long track record with the iridium plugs when the engine was running correctly. Right now I have stock plugs and I'm way past due, like twice the interval. I'm not feeling any problems. In fact it is running better than it ever did. I did the same thing, changed all the fluids, valve check, lubed and cleaned drive shaft, triple tree, rear swing arm. and eventually used motul oil. The previous owner had shell rotella. I used it for several oil changes. It seemed to be noisy on the top end. When I changed to motul 7100, it was like night and day. I no longer hear the valves. I'm thinking maybe I'll give the iridium's a second chance.

      @@mikesfjrcorner7129 I got the iridiums and will likely change the plugs this weekend. The bike seems to run pretty smooth, but I know that worn plugs seemed to effect the bottom end on many engines I've had in the past. I don't know if mine were changed. 8000 seems like a very short life interval for plugs, which is what the manual recommends if I read it right.
