Anyone here tackle replacing a neutral switch? Mine went out last season and I have not replaced. It thinks its in gear all the time now. The only bad thing is not being able to warm up the bike on the sidestand. And the F42 error. I can't see the clock now. I looked at it a few times and...

Cool, I was hoping someone would say that. I imagine it is a "fine" adjustment.

Hi you all! I just did the jumper mod on my 03 FJR (that I love) and increased my CO +7 on each cylinder as research has advised. My question is this. These were my initial values: #1=-4 #2=19 #3= 9 #4=20 Does this seem right? why so big a differential from -4 to 20 range on the initial...

Not a bad idea. Thanks, I might just do that. Too bad the bag is 700 bucks. Im a po boy though. Thats why I buy used bikes.. LOL. I've never spent over 1k on a bike until this one. I bought it in september last year.... and during in the winter here in ohio I kept walking into the garage...

thanks guys, I think I found it and you are right. Afa not touching it up... well.... I know bikes are supposed be ridden and not worshipped, but this bike has been the best thing on two wheels Ive owned. (#7 or 8th bike) I was so angry and embarassed when I dumped it doing a U turn too slow...

Yes, It happened. I dropped it and scratched the stator cover and the left bag. I see the silver color listed here, but never have been able to find the dark grey engine case color. Anyone do this yet?

I think I will. But for the stator cover, I just need touch up paint that somewhat matches. So far I have not seen the color listed anywhere.

Thanks for the reply. I've been to colorite and they did not show the engine color. How did you go about finding this?

Well, It happened. I'm only a few months on the FJR after years of cruisers and dirtbikes. I was doing a "U" turn at the top of my street with my wife on the back, and we arent small people. I cut it too sharp going too slow, and whoooooppppss! Fell over on the left side. My stator cover got a...

Well, I think the F12 was a fluke due to low battery voltage to the ECU and messing with things. Then I was stuck in a loop, the bike wouldnt crank due to a bad neutral switch and I couldnt clear the F12 without cranking! So my fix worked but all I had to do was lift the side stand and pull in...

I got the F-12 to go away. You know how? I shorted the solenoid with a screwdriver which turned the motor a bit and voila! No more F-12. I then went in and cleared it. Then I relized my neutral switch no longer works. I dont know why. If I ground the wire from it at the relay I get the neutral...

well, I got it started. I had to short the solenoid with a screwdriver to FORCE the damn motor to turn. My f12 went away. It starts fine now, but thinks its in gear all the time. Im worried I mustuve pulled something loose when yanking around in there. Its not at the neutral switch. I can use it...

Hi guys, I had a thread in the problem forum, and at my wits end. I had a wierd battery failure on a new battery. Flatbed home, and messing with stuff for hours. I eventually hooked up a big battery to the bike and now I get a persistant F-12 error. This is supposed to be CPS but mine measures...

Well guys, I have restored power now everything is booting up and stuff but the F-12 still wont go away. I get 520 ohms on that sensor just what its supposed to be. I dont understand how the ECU would know there is a problem with it if it sees the right resistance. The engine is not turning...

Yes, I see the ECU connector there in plain view. I was able to measure the resistance at the main connector on the black/blue grey wires at 520 ohms, which is right in spec. So now Im screwed I guess. Wonder if the 06 ecu will work in my 03. I saw one on ebay. as far as the crankshaft position...
