I’ll be selling my original owner, low mileage ‘05 FJR soon and need some feedback. Within a year or two of buying it I installed a Power Commander III USB that has some adjustments to the stock map. Haven’t touched the mapping since then. I recall using an old laptop with an old version of...

Rally at the Glade is still on for tomorrow May 14th, rain or shine. Gladeville Baptist Church, 9000 Stewarts Ferry Pike, Gladeville, TN (20 minutes east of Nashville). Use exit 70 if you are on SR840. There will be bike games (two up and one up) that an FJR can do well in, music, lunch...

My church is having a one-day event this Spring that will benefit the Tennessee Baptist Children's Homes and I invite fellow FJR riders in the Nashville area to attend. There will be bike games (skills course), vendors, music, food, and good fellowship. I'd like to see other FJR's there, so...

Yes that was mine. Sorry you had to witness the trash bag but it was a quick solution. The only trouble I developed from the water was that one of my sidecase locks is now very difficult to turn but I can probably squirt something in there to fix it. Well, glad to hear you got through your...

What day was this? Sorry we didn't cross paths. I saw a blue Gen 1 with some mods on it and another blue one that was probably Gen 1 but I didn't look at it up close. I might have seen a silver one, maybe that was yours? Truth is I saw so many FJR's over the weekend I lost count. I was...

Ah yes. Now I see that I misread your post. I had the I-40 closure on my mind and was reading with temporary ADD. I-40 is open, got it!

I hadn't check up on this closure lately but last word was that it would be open by now. This gives me an excuse to stay off of the Interstate more. I'll check out your suggestions on the map when I get a chance. Thanks.

Hi there. I'm riding with at least one cruiser (maybe a few) from the Nashville area Friday morning. I'm thinking we will enjoy a route that will take us onto the Cherohala Scenic Skyway then maybe 129 to 19 (through Cherokee) and then the Blue Ridge Pkwy into Asheville to arrive at Ridgecrest...

I may be attending the Rally to Ridgecrest event in Asheville NC this upcoming Memorial Day weekend. Any other FJR's going to be there? I'm looking for feedback on the following suggested routes. I don't need a route that produces roads like the Dragon (been there done that), just the...

thanks guys for the info. i'll get the tps and get it replaced soon.

I did the diagnostic test on the TPS and it was fine, no problems. 16 closed throttle, 98 open. Didn't skip a beat when rolling on the throttle slowly. Should I replace it anyway since it was a recall item or get the part and keep it on standly in case this one fails? I'd like to keep the...

I never got the TPS changed on my '05 per the recall. Rather than getting a dealer to change the TPS as part of the recall (if its not too late), I am thinking about doing it myself. I found the "how to change the TPS" thread on the forum, but I haven't read how owners are getting the part if...

Hey, it's Rich here - the one in your story. I haven't been on the fjrfroum in a long time and decided to visit again since you mentioned it yesterday. Low and behold I find your post! One rider from the West coast, one from the East coast, one from the Central; meeting by chance in a small...

Sorry everyone if this has been covered and if its so simple my dog could do it.... I got the Scorpio alarm and ordered the OEM connector for my '05 FJR. At first glance I haven't found where the OEM connector attaches to the existing wiring. Can someone help? I seem to remember reading that...
