    Tall Rider & Wind Buffeting? - 2nd Gen

    Same personal specs. Yes x 3. About eye level with my V-Stream N20308 when fully extended x 2. I fist tried the N20309, but it was too floppy in turbulent winds. The N20308 has been the perfect shield for me after having tried several others, but not all of them. .

    The best year for the FJR1300

    That is truly stunning!

    Cracks in the Aft SubFrame

    That's the subframe, not the frame. Tweaked your title as admin. That said, it's happened to a bunch of us including me on a Gen 1. Remove it, weld it, fix whatever you did to overstress it, maybe add a gusset here in there. ....Or, we'll see how your McGyver design works. Looks stout certainly.

    The best year for the FJR1300

    20xx is the best. But avoid 20yy at all cost...they suck.

    Gen 3 dash

    I'd be in for one.

    Do I have an Electrical problem?

    Odd. I did a a search on "10v" and find a gamut of contrary to kinda vague to totally unrelated. Even less likely with "10v cranking" I did find one site that cites 9.6 in a load test for lead-acid, but I'm not sure I'd hang my hat on it. I'd still go more old-school and if the starter's...

    Do I have an Electrical problem?

    The other stuff seems like you're dwellling on new data from a new fun toy.....which is certainly fine. I question your assumption about a 'low' unless you cite documentation to the point and not knowing how the measuring gadget works. I know motorcycle batteries are built for a wide range of...

    Sold Russell Day-Long (Gen II/III)

    For those wondering about fitment, this seat will work on 2006+/Gen 2+ bikes. It won't work on 2005 or earlier Gen 1s.

    Both headlights on with engine running?

    Your dealer is wrong, your memory is right, and you likely have a blown low beam bulb....unless you've fiddled with wiring. You might replace both H4s as they tend to go out around the same time.

    Hi there, I need help and am new

    Thanks for the additional information. Your first post was extremely light on detail. Sounds like possible 'Fast Starter Syndrome' to me. I wrote a thread about it years ago....here. Or WOT like RossKean mentioned.

    Oil Leak happening right now…

    Really hard to guess from a picture that isn't of the actual oil source. It's going to require inspection, looking for obvious sources of the leak, wiping off oil, etc. I agree that it's more likely an obvious thing like a loose oil filter, plug, or cap and would start there.

    2015 FJR Headlight mount

    The bike must have fallen down and gone boom. Sounds about right if it's the headlight assembly studs...although I've never heard of all four popping without it being a very obvious collision. Headlight assemblies are not cheap. Assuming it's the assembly you can go check yourself at online...

    Service Intervals

    Other than valve checks and rebuilding suspensions, I do all my on work on the FJR. And that's one of the big reasons I first started on the forum--the body of knowledge and tips to do those things. So, three hours and 17 hours seems crazy to me these days...I'd do it myself.

    Signalling Fuse

    Do you know the size of the wire on that circuit is sufficient for 10 amps? I don't think anybody here does for sure. While an extra 33% juice may not smoke-check the wires....I'd go find a 7.5 amp and put the same size fuse back in it personally. And it's been a while since I did the...

    Iggy Action Figure

    I have to post here because this old thread was just ressurrected in the weirdest, most-ironic, AI way I can imagine. First, it's no secret that SPAMmers exist. We had a variety of issues on the old forum software and while it's MUCH MUCH better since the new forum owners have taken over and...

    Mixing Michelin Road 6 GT and 4 GT?

    You'll void the warranty, suffer a 2 mpg hit, 5 wheel horsepower loss, and a puppy will die. Of course everybody knows the only true correct mixture is a 4 GT on the rear and 5 non GT on the front with 2 less psi than usual. What oil are you using? Inquiring minds want to know.

    Gen 3 , have to hit the starter button two or three times before bike starts. Use to start first click every time.?

    Assuming starter spins freely all the times you press it, fuel been in the tank for a while? Pretty warm since the last time you fueled up? It could be the switch from winter fuel to summer formulation that isn't as volatile. I know AZ is one of the states that does this.

    Oil Filter Question 2024 FJR ES 1300

    Partially true and talked about many times before including here that I found using search.

    Black on gold FJR. Only in Japan?

    I didn't know that one. Thank you for teaching me something new. :)

    Black on gold FJR. Only in Japan?

    Nope! You're talking about the "UIltimate Edition" FJR that was offered in the various FJR markets the final year of their availability....and/or anniversary. The FJR remains available for purchase in the United States (and Canada)...so not offered. There is reasonable speculation that when...
