 Just a reminder that the FJ clinic is coming up soon. Thanks to Charlie for speaking to Yamaha Canada. A large box of Yamaha swag is here and a large Yamaha banner. Come out if you can. If you need my address, PM me and I will send it to you. John

Dan and I are taking the scenic route through the US again with a couple ferry rides on the way. We'll see you on Friday late afternoon-ish.
Thanks for putting this on, eh JV...  

Thanks to charlie for his efforts too. Again he and Yamaha Canada have come through with flying colours. We have banners from RPM and Yamaha... does it get any better???       ‎

Be good to see some new, and familiar, faces again.

Should be good.

Will be doing my first test run this Tues or Wed.  Just under the wire, and the earliest I've gotten it on the road in 9 yrs!   (popcorn)

Happy Happy Joy Joy!  :dance2:

I hear you. I only got mine idling nicely and not smoking, this past Tuesday. The smoke was excess oil from the UNI pod filters just installed.
Then two 12 hour days at work and I only have Friday to take a shake down run and sort it for Saturday. You won't see any change from last May, that's how bad the last year has been for me in regards to recreational pursuits.

I am hoping there will be a slot of time in the work shop when I can get the carbs synched, pretty please. It's been several years since I synched them and with the wrestling to get them in and out a few times this month, I'd like to see that they are at optimum.

Ride super safe guys and see you in 2 sleeps.

Come by car if you have to Sabre, but I wouldn't mind seeing a GXSR conversion while it's fairly fresh in your mind to go over the details.

Hey Charlie,

If you have any more of those LED dash bulbs could you please bring some...

Thanks,

I'll be bringing the Motion Pro carb  synch tool with the spare mini tank, the Motion Pro chain alignment tool for us visually impaired, cam cover grommets for my weeping head  :cray: ... And some homemade baked goodies courtesy The Mrs.  And whatever else I think may be of use.  I'll try to remember not put the goodies and gas tank in the same hard bag.  (popcorn)

Mssr Wagar suggested I calibrate the carb synch tool before I get there cuz it's still in the package.  If I can't do that today I'll come "early" on Saturday to do it there before it get bizzy.  Early = 9-10 am ? If that's ok. I can be there earlier if required - if your not too hung over still.

Just went out for a test run on Thursday. Other than synching, replacing grommets and bleeding the hydraulics, I'm all set... Probably  :scratch_one-s_head:

Will do (they are around here somewhere). I can't remember if it was the ones with 2 rows or 3 rows of elements that you got. I'll bring both, and some blue ones if anyone else is reading this.
Also I have a few 30A relays and harnesses, etc.

Great. That saves me looking for a mini tank on short notice.

One thing I see I have lost - again - is the plastic cover that snaps into the top of the rear caliper housing. 1984 FJ if that differs and anyone has a spare.
