ARCHI Radiator side rod

About quality and texture High quality aluminum material finishing. I bought the gold rods version, it look like it doesn't then to fade overtime, but time will tell I guess About the feeling of use Feels heavier the the stock covers but the looks brings out the retro looks at the side of the bike. Difficulty of installation It tools only 30 mins or less. Just have to wonder where is the top or where is the bottom as the there is no instruction given. But it take only a while to figure it out. No issues. Cost performance and comparison with other products The quality is at the top range by Archi. Only product available currently as the other brand with the same design is out of stock. The rest of the other design covers maybe cheaper by the outlook is not there. About shipping and packaging Shipping is not costly. Item is placeed with vinyl bag. I hope there's more protection for the product as the black plates have some scratches at the edge. But after installing it's not visible. Any concerns, cautions, or advice when purchasing The weight of the product is heavier then the stock cover. But only worry is the weight may cause pulling on the radiator bracket. But if it's by Archi I guess it's already consider it and made precaution to it. Initially I thought that my additional radiatior cap will restrict it. But no worries to it. As it fits perfectly as shown on my picture. View detail

Replacement recommended before Carburetor setting in SR (1JR)

I am using it on a 1998 late 1JR Carburetor generation SR.
525 modified (certified modified, he also holds a Large type license) and the carburetor has been converted to FCR Carburetor Body41.
Ignition system is iron CDI + OEMCoil of the previous year for the convenience of using Crank of the previous year of 1JR.
Plugs have been replaced about 6 times in 20,000 km due to the following Setting.

In the case of SR, it is not necessary to replace it frequently because the normal RPM is not high, but 1JR does not progress in self-cleaning in town driving due to the weak spark at low RPM of the ignition system (it seems to be intentionally done so to prevent kettling), and FCR Carburetor Body41 is even more incompatible with it. If the carburetor setting is set even a little too thick, the carburetor will turn completely black after about 1000 km and will not return to normal, as shown in the picture of Plug.

Therefore, when you do a carburetor setting that involves a large change, you basically need to replace the plug.
The peripheral creepage is in the vicinity of the Idling, the insulator is in the low open area, and the center electrode is in the MJ area.
To begin with, SR is a 2Valve big single, for better or worse. Large, crude, old car." The complete warming up of the engine takes about 30 minutes in winter, or about 10 km in distance, so if you try to set the setting by focusing on the feeling of the engine after just a short ride, the engine will tend to run in a thicker direction. So, when I try to set the setting with emphasis on the feeling after a short ride, the setting tends to be in the direction of the dark and is not fixed.
I concluded that it is best to put on a new Plug and watch it burn in the end, since it does not go to a perfect fit using the AF.

So, I am replacing it before Setting, thinking that it would be easier to do after Battery ignition, but 1JR is easy to understand...right? There are times when the price fluctuates slightly, but it is helpful because it remains inexpensive as if it is the superior etc. student of prices. View detail

Side Scoop Type-B for V-MAX1700(09-)

Fits: YAMAHA V-MAX 1680

5/5

Installation is a challenge, but it looks good!

I found this product because my OEM side scoop had rust floating on the steel and matte black paint, even though I wash it frequently.

VMAX1700 itself is not very easy to maintain, so replacing the Parts around the Frame inevitably involves removing the Seat and DummyTank Cover, which is a kind of ritual that must be gone through.
I had searched the Net for blogs of people who had installed the same products in advance, so I went to a nearby YSP to find double-sided tape and CS wheel stops that I would not be able to reuse when I removed the product.:Pair (for Left and Right) Quantity for Duct cover of:2 Sets of OEM Parts are ordered and purchased.
Work Start on the day when everything is in place!
Seat, which is a ritual, Tank Cover removed and Side cover is Quantity.:Pair (for Left and Right) When removing the third bolt, be careful not to drop the bolt and damage it!

I tried to remove the U-shaped pin with a slotted screwdriver, and then I tried to remove the CS ring stopper with a slotted screwdriver, but it did not come off very well, so I used a backdoor technique and folded the reverse side of the mesh over at the projections through the three rectangular holes. I fixed it straight with Driver and RadioBench and pushed it from the reverse side with Driverretc. and only the net part came off from the front side.

All that remains is to position the product from the front side, peel off the double-sided tape portion, and affix it.
I found this to be by far the most efficient way to reduce the time and hassle of removal, so although it is different from the Manual, I had no particular problem with it.

I think the appearance is to your liking. While the overall silver color differentiates it from NORMAL, the two-tone color with black also tightens up the look, so it is hard to say that OEM parts are not good.
However, the material is Stainless Steel, which is by far the most rust-resistant. I don't think the English letter engraving is necessary.
It is a cosy way to change the look and feel of the product at this price. View detail
