Avon spirit st replaced the 3d storm.I found this tire very good for my riding.along with my new swingarm bearing things should be smooth.
Rpm should stock tires they recommend for the fj.ive got a 86 and I'm pretty dilligent on staying with my 16" wheels but if I had a choice rpm is were I go for all my bikes needs.I'm not affiliated only a loyal customer.

I would if I could. But since I do not service/sell for a wide array of motorcycles, it is difficult to get a tire dealer to sell to me at the prices where I can be in the price range of other online vendors.
At this point, tires & chains are two things I cannot get into the market as the costs are higher than what people purchase from online vendors.
Maybe someday, you never know.

Thanks for the support.
We will be here for you to supply whatever we can for your FJ.
You never know what the future holds, tires might some day be part of the inventory.

Fuel injection is coming.
As rpm did my machine work and ring specs.I can say I was diligent on my valve clearances and carb balance.however I've experienced a additionl carb synch.Idk but at 3000 miles I've tuned my engine in.

An RPM shop dyno is first!
Fu pat.RPM does dynos.I'm in trucking now I gottta figure out shipping.your a ass
Really? RPM has a shop dyno? How do you know this?
Why the hostilities Mike?
Pat's comment on the Dyno is not his personal wish list. It is required for Randy to complete the mapping of the upper gears. He has mapped 1st and 2nd, not sure about 3rd. When you have a laptop strapped to the tank for data collection and performing WOT runs, you run out of road real fast by the time you top out in 3rd gear. Imagine getting to the top of 4th and 5th gear, think of images of a starship jumping to light speed. Now to just get all them damn planets out of way. The FI upgrade has been described as having all the power like a big bore.
So I'm thinking the engine mods i had are pretty much a refresher.I invested tones in my fj and a fjr1300 is very attractive.I like the chain drive tho
Wait a minute. Don't change the subject. I'm waiting for Mike to answer my question.
You say to me, fuck you and you call me an ass....now Mike, tell us all about the RPM shop dyno.
Or did you just pull that statement (again) out of your ass?
Just got home pat.I with the assumption from your statement RPM has a in house Dyno.if so I'm saying rpm is the only legit place to check my bikes hp as rpm pretty much did all the specs on my motor.
Did I mention I really like your investment in your bike however your still a dick head
Yea, thanks, I love my '84. RPM also did my motor.
So, you're now clear that RPM *does not* have a shop dyno to measure horsepower? Correct?
My statement is that they need one first (as Mark explained) to tune and develop their fuel injection kit.
Do you follow what I'm saying or do you want me to explain it in a different way?
Pat, tell him how to take pictures with his phone. Maybe he'll listen to you. :Facepalm:
Try as I might, I can not understand Mike's explanation, can anyone help?
Set aside the grammar and spelling, it's the message I can't understand.

For background, here's what he is trying to explain:

Well Pat, no I can't explain it. But it is good unprovoked entertainment (albeit at your expense)
Well done taking it in stride
Pat, I think when you posted "An RPM shop dyno is first!", Mike took it as you telling him to take it to RPM for a Dyno. That would explain why he might think RPM has one. But better if Mike explains it.
Ok, thanks Mark.
I would rather not have Mike explain anything, chances are, I would not understand it anyway.

Pat, after reading Mark's point of view, I think I agree with him.
Let me attempt to translate this into English:
"Fu pat." = FU Pat, but intended to be conveyed with a tone suggesting that a dyno run is a great idea but now it's going to cost him to spend some more money. Think of it as a Klavdy comment.
"RPM does dynos." = Should be interpreted as a question: "RPM does dynos?" As in he really didn't know that but thanks for the information
"I'm in trucking now I gottta figure out shipping" = I work in the trucking industry. Now I'm going to have to figure out how to get my FJ to RPM for a dyno run.
"your a ass" = You're an ass. Again, think of this as a Klavdy response.
I'm giving him all the benefit of doubt that his response is actually NOT intended to be hostile. If this is true, it is a very good example of how bad grammar and lazy typing can lead to misinterpretation of one's intent and true message.
I have nothing for when he called you a dick head except that now that you're mad at him, he's got to be mad at you back.
Thanks David.
I could not understand the jump from talking about RPM future offerings to Mike assuming I was talking about his bike.
In the preceding posts Randy was talking about RPM's possible future offerings (tires/chains), then Mike said "fuel injection is coming" which I understood as a future RPM offering, at which I said "an RPM shop dyno is first" again in keeping with the theme of future RPM offerings.
I'm done.
I made a comment about understanding his posts a while ago and this was his reply,
"Grinding away the miles.its very positive.I do need to pre read my posts.sorry fellas" It's obvious he has a memory problem as well.
Regards, Pete. :wacko3:
