And what size are they then? Bugger, one is missing in my 2017! Perfect in the 2001 though! Go and figure!

Hello It is with heavy heart that I am saying that the time has come to sell my beloved 2001 JFR. Brought to the US from Dublin (IRL) back in 2005. I have my new FJR (2017) and it is not fair for this one to always sit in the garage! It is someone else's turn to enjoy her as much as I have...

Excellent! I thought you would never post! I'm in for either. Looking forward to seeing you all again! Luis

Hi Fred, thanks for your answer. to be honest it is more out of boredom than anything else. I wanted to see how they come apart and see for myself how the magic of the ES happens. I wanted to systematically change all fluids cause I do not know for how long they have been there. Will be doing...

I just put my hands on a 2017 ES model. I am changing all the fluids before I ride it (not that I can ride it right now...). For those of you that have already done a fork oil change on a gen 3ES model, what is the socket/ wrench size of the fork caps? There is an outer and an inner ring. I do...

Thank you all. Yes, the bearing and the seal were both shot. Somehow, the seal had let water in and there was a fair amount of rust and grit in there. Great improvement! I can't see the icon to insert the pictures! I'll post a few from my computer tomorrow

If I may, I would ask for a breaker bar and torque wrench. That will save me from carrying a lot of weight. If not, let me know and I will bring them... I need to remove back wheel and swing arm Thanks! If I may, I would ask for a breaker bar and torque wrench. That will save me from carrying...
