FJ 1200 for Russia

[Edouard]

Я все же решил доделать круиз из стандартного груза руля. Идея взята из интернета, но я не собираюсь продавать свой продукт, это только для моего мотоцикла. Система работает, на прямых участках можно дать правой руке отдых.

(I still decided to complete the cruise from the standard steering weight. The idea is taken from the internet, but I'm not going to sell my product, it's only for my motorcycle. The system works, on straight sections you can give your right hand a rest.)

I had a liiitttttle problem understanding your text typing so used google translate  .I would not use that thing on my bike maybe a 50cc moped ,but not on the fj too easy to f... up

[Edouard]

I'm sorry, auto-translation is enabled, I thought the text would be in English

[Edouard]

Yes, it's not safe, but other options are arranged in much the same way. You just need to take a motorcycle with a cruise right away.

Hi. In winter, I updated my FJ, changed the engine gaskets, installed an additional light. But when I was assembling, I forgot to put the wires over the protective casing (pictured). Now they are underneath, on the gearbox housing. How dangerous is it?

No offense but, I am hesitant about opening unknown links. Why not post a picture to the gallery then link your post to the picture?

Yes, you want to get those wires and connectors up and off the engine.

Thanks, then I'll shift it.

I didn't know how to install navigation on my FJ, I have clip-ons and not a straight steering wheel. So I used a tank bag, but nothing was visible in it, so I had to take the navigator outside on a homemade holder.
- you can see it better this way
- the navigator does not heat up as if it were in a bag
- can be charged from a power bank located in the bag
- vibrations are not scary, since the phone is completely disconnected from them

Hi. There is a very weak light on my FJ. I installed the relay, but nothing much has changed. There is a Koito lamp. Installing an LED lamp did not help, it shines brighter, but blinds other drivers and the light is lost on the asphalt. And it also flickers at idle if they fall below 1000. It looks like I should put up with the bad light on FJ ((

If you install a relay (1 each for Low and Hi) to power your headlamp direct from the battery, you will get full voltage. Some LED options have worked as well but with mixed results. I currently use an aftermarket HID system that is over the top bright. But it has down sides. The relay mod and a quality LED should be bright and reliable for many years. And you can use 2 additional relays to power your coils and get full voltage for a good spark from your plugs. And you can also add lights to your FJ. Many here have added extra lights for night time riding.

Yes, I have PIAA auxiliary lights installed, they work well in places where there is no light at all.

I finally found a good extra light! These PIAA 2100XT headlights are great for a motorcycle, although they look a little wide. But I have large arcs, so the headlights are protected from damage.

Hi! Can I ask the obvious question: am I tensioning the main drive chain correctly?
The chain has stretched by about 40 mm in 10,000 km.
I put the bike on the center stand and made the stroke about 20 mm, as it should be according to the book (15-20 mm). But when I lowered the bike, the stroke decreased to about 10 mm, will this be enough?
Or do I need to loosen the chain so that under load the chain travel is about 20mm?
