Well, I know my power lifting days are over now but I have high hopes on a full recovery in the near future. Everyday, things get a little better and I am slowly regaining the use of my arms. It's the reason I haven't posted much lately but aside from the recovering nerve pain, I just won't give up. I'm not ready to throw in the towel.

Great to hear! I use the Kawasaki synthetic oil right now but may look into amsoil in the future. Sounds like you've been having some fun 🙂

No, I live down here in Florida and they are not needed.

Thanks, glad it was something that you could use.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll use the new torque values the next time I replace the fluid and install an aftermarket, oversized, aluminum finned transmission oil pan since I tow with my FJ.

Thanks Kevin.

You are more than welcome! I just try to help out our fellow FJ drivers.

I had looked online for torque values and used those. Thank goodness for the internet. Plus, I can't remember if the torque values were in the owners manual under the maintenance section or not. The overflow bolt is an allen wrench type and it is made of extremely soft metal and easy to strip out so since this video. I looked online and have purchased some of the same so I can swap it out the next time I change the fluid.

@@tanktankerson1042 I see that you also have a Haley. I have the original owner"s manual and the only information it has regarding the automatic transmission is the amount of fluid to do a "drain and refill", according to my owner's manual it is 3.2 qts. My owner's manual also has a number to call if anyone wanted a repair manual, I called and they no longer sell them. I was given another number from a company named Helms Inc. they sell 3 service manuals for about $40 a book but from a previous research I did the complete service manual is about 8 books.

@@franciscoespina23 I had a VTX1300 and a Vmax motorcycle but they are long since gone. I had found Repair manuals online for the FJ Cruiser, that's what I was able to use for this. www.purefjcruiser.com/docs/2007%20Toyota%20FJ%20Cruiser%20Repair%20Manual/#12 I was able to find this link for you, you'll have to spend some time digging through it but it should have everything you are looking for.

Awesome! I absolutely love this bike and it's a forever keeper.

All the parts are listed in the description

That was so long ago, I don't remember, sorry about that. But when I Googled the code, it was a fuel code and since everything else checked out ok, I knew it was something as simple as the gas cap. Now, that is just what "I" ran into, it doesn't mean it may be the same problem you may have.

No worries Dave, glad I was able to help.

Awesome and good to know, thanks. I may go that way in the future.

I always put the equipment used in the video description with "links" to make things easier. That way, you can find the items to purchase or even look at the specs. Thanks for the comments! 👍

I always put the links in the description. There you can pull up where to purchase them and I believe it gives you the information you are looking for. This is one of the best mods I have done since the "filter" inside the drain pan is only a screen for "chunky" stuff. Thanks for the comments.

I used the same for the transmission.

They didn't make it easy working on parts of the Vmax, I hear your frustration.

Mine was the 07, I found those grips back in 2008 and they went along with the flame paint job from the factory.

Thank you, that means a lot!

Yes, I had my bike on the kickstand while adjusting the pressure in the springs. Not sure why the manual would say to jack it up but I had no problems the way I did it. The ride improved dramatically after the adjustment. Of course, you can adjust your pressure as you see fit. Thanks for the comments.

Thanks for the quick reply... and for taking the time to provide all of the info and insights re the Voyager 1700

They are awesome, no extra tape. I just made sure to clean, with 91% alcohol, the surfaces on my mirrors the tape was going to stick to.

@@tanktankerson1042 thank you for your video and reply 🙏🏼

Glad to hear it helped a bit, I've purchased a bunch of these rubber nutserts from Amazon since this video in case I ever need them in the future.

I know, and I kept the bike in new condition too but the Insurance Company took possession of the bike and gave me quite a bit for it. Would have been great to part it out but it was out of my hands. Thanks for the comments.

You'll love it Neil.

I cannot recommend it enough, more HP and Torque, all throttle issues fixed, and I average 44 mpg on 93 Octane. I couldn't be happier and this bike is a lifetime keeper for me. You will love how the Ivan Tune completely changes your bike.

www.amazon.com/dp/B0C61R5N48?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1 Thanks for the comments.

Anytime Bud, glad it helped! Thank you for the comments.

Not with this mod but I did rejet the carbs back in 2005 when I added new Vance and Hines pipes and a K&N Air Filter.

Thanks Rob, yeah, I keep multiple USB adapters in it so they don't roll around in other compartments. Thanks for the comments.

The Ivan tune fixes everything and you can check the stats on their website. As far as the warranty goes, that's between your shop and you, I am lucky my shop will look the other way on that. This was the best mod I did on my bike, I really was not happy with it when I first bought it. Thanks for the comments!

Thanks Frank, I post these videos to help other folks with the same vehicles. I've used RUclips often looking for ideas and help myself 🙂

Attachment? My kickstand is stock. What did you see that caught your eye? At what point in my video did you see it?

@@tanktankerson1042 Oh, I thought I seen a kickstand enlarger on your bike. My bad.

I always put the parts links in the description to make them easier to find. 🙂

Thank you! I appreciate your comments and support.

With the free flow exhaust and the K&N air filter, it will cause the bike to run leaner with the current ecu programming. You will get the most irritating popping when decelerating which drove me crazy. I only test rode my bike once after the exhaust and filter change, then sent off the ecu immediately to get it re-flashed which solved everything. That's just what I encountered. back when I did the same for my VTX, I ended up having to change the jets in the carbs for the same reason. I hope this helps to answer your question.

Yes. Thank you so much for your response

I haven't had a need for them so I haven't looked into them yet. Sorry I couldn't be more help on that.

Thank you, I really appreciate it.

Awesome Dave, I've heard pf people using ATF, I will keep it in mind for the future.

Thanks Joe, and yes I still have my FJ, I will never part with it. Even if you find an FJ with no rust issues in the door, I highly recommend pulling the door panels and sealing the upper seam of the matting material as shown in the video.

It's just a "thumb wheel" you can move with your thumb. If you open the saddlebag and bend down, you can see under the chrome where the adjustable thumb wheel is. At least Kawasaki made it easy, you don't need a special wrench or other tool. Thanks for the comments.

Thank you! I just adjusted it and it turned so much easier than I expected! Now, time to ride and check it out. Thanks again.

Your welcome, I'm glad the video helped. Thanks for the comments.

You You're right! It's amazing how much thought and research Voyager owners have to take in order to dress up even the smallest things on this fantastic motorcycle.

@@tanktankerson1042 I’ve been avidly attempting to purchase a pre-owned 2023 Voyager, love that color combo. I can across 3 of them, all under 1300 miles…BUT…each were so badly scuffed and some gouges in the tank. I cannot believe the cosmetic issues on such newer bikes; I cannot live with those issues nor will they come out with buffing, etc.

@@Nervedraz Reasons like those, plus, you never know if someone was hard on the engine, are part of why I just cannot buy used. Of course, if you know the individual selling the bike and how it was taken care of, that's a bit different. Buying new is expensive, I know, but at least you know how the bike was taken care of since day one.

@@tanktankerson1042 I absolutely agree and I prefer that; being a 2023, new ones are far and few between at this point.

@@Nervedraz I know, I guess I was lucky when I purchased mine. You're right though, the 2023 colors caught my eye and I couldn't get the bike out of my head. I was hooked and a couple days later I was buying it. I sure hope you find one, someone out there has to have one they've taken care of.

That particular 20amp circuit is live with the key in ACC or the bike running. I didn't want to have any parasitic voltage draw issues on my battery. Super easy install and I know you will enjoy having it on your bike. Thanks for the comment.
