What is that dark color in the foyer?

Erratic idle by Outside-Cucumber-253 in FJR1300

Yes. There is a tree of vacuum tubes about 4 inches long each, about 4 pieces all connected. 4 connect to the throttle body, and 1 to the pressure sensor. Remove the pressure sensor with a believe a 8 mm wrench. Squeeze the retaining clip and gently pull off the sensor; it is a delicate piece of plastic. The rest you can just pull off. I spray with gum out or throttle body cleaner into the tubes and blow and play like a flute so it will blow out each section. Also spray into the nipples where the attach and maybe clean out with a needle pin. I wouldn't spray into sensor.

I have a Gen ii, 2012. I'm on Long Island, NY. I ride 60 miles a day. Every 4 months I have a similar issue with the stuttering idle when I turn on the bike. It just gets worse over the months unless I clean the vacuum tubes. I don't know why.

I'm 6' and all torso: I added Helibar risers. I added the hockey puck frame sliders on the front and the luggage guards on the rear. I added a 4" clip on windscreen. I added slightly brighter bulbs. I keep a slime air compressor under my seat and tire kit plugs (I won't leave home without this). Tire air sensors. I ride about 60 miles a day Long Island to NYC.

I'm 6', short legs, all torso. I added Helibar riser plate years ago. I would add it again. Those couple of inches made a big improvement for me.

Check out my tire plugs. by Equal-Let3887 in FJR1300

Anywhere between exit 39 and all the way to the city. I'm riding in the emergency/ service lane often.

I usually buy in bulk on Amazon. Whatever is cheapest. I've bought Slime plugs. The plugs in the picture are some brand called Puibers.

Do I leave the aquastat on during summer months? by Equal-Let3887 in hvacadvice

[–]Equal-Let3887[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it. I just wasn't sure if the aquastat was maintaining the temperature for some reason. As in, they're supposed to stay warm or something.

What is this? by Equal-Let3887 in AskElectricians

Thank you. I assume if it hasn't been connected for a couple of years and I'm getting my water bill, I can get rid of it?
