    What year FJR1300A was the best up to present.

    Hey Josh - I bought a 2007 as a hold over, but "new" buy dealer / NADA standards. NO problems other than the 2 recalls associated - have logged > 28,0000. Likes to eat tires - but that is the fun of it. Personally, the hand warmer addition is a nice creature feature - but the cherry is...

    08 FJR R&R Clutch Plate Soak

    Premonition or what -I am about to head down that very same path with my dealer {ignition recall/clutch}. When I first mentioned the clutch isse during the first 800 miles, I was told the oil was dirty and it would disappear..a few changes later and it's still there. I have tried strapping the...

    Started Bike with no oil filter in place...Issue?

    Cool beans -I'm not what you would call a mechanic - but I don't feel right paying for something I can take care of but I know my limitations -usually. This place is a HUGE help-I kinda wish I had been here before buying...NOT that I regret anything, I love the ride -this is such a "mind dump"...

    Started Bike with no oil filter in place...Issue?

    Bike was put to bed this fall and the oils was drained with the intention of re-filling for the winter....life kicked stuff up a notch and the bike has set on the stand with no oil or filter in place. Since we have seen temps as low as -23 {F}, has this exposure potentialy caused harm...

    FJRF003.1: Ignition Switch

    Any word on if there will be a way to determine if you get a "new / improved" switch, or a herring that has been kicking around the warehouse? I need new rubber this spring and would probably have the switch replaced if the serial # dictates.

    Are You Going to Finish Strong?

    WOW - the ducts leaked on that, puts things into a different light. I was snowboarding all day in Waterville, NH today and reflected on how great things can be if you look around...talk about putting emphasis on the real. KMAC - ride safe brother.
