FWIW - I use the OEM lever on its closest setting (5), and only ever use my first two fingers to brake. Easily activates the front ABS when on a good, dry tarmac surface, so plenty of available strength even in my 81-year-old fingers. I also find it gives me a finer control of the braking...

i seem to remember my 2018 doing that, leaving the engine light "hanging", only cleared by my dealer. As Oldjeep suggests, may clear after a ride. Will do no harm riding it, so long as no other errors show up.

Any error codes shown?

Assuming yours is a Gen3 FJR, potentially useful. The connector is under the saddle, in your owner's manual, look for "Diagnostic Connector" in the index. You can get the adaptor for the FJR if your current one isn't suitable, just google "FJR1300 ODB adaptor". Never used one myself, so...

That's almost certainly US spec.

That does sound like miles per US gallon. I've always averaged around 58 plus overall, it can dip to 40 but only when all riding was in local heavy traffic, all stop-start, rarely reaching 40mph. I've always logged my fuel consumption, click on the year for each of my four FJRs, 2006 2010, 2014...

Very low speed cornering, as it reaches clutch disengagement speed, the forward drive can reduce. Nothing as bad as the Gen2, these simply disconnected the clutch, a real danger of dropping it. The Gen3 will leave some torque through the clutch but it will disconnect as you come to rest. The...

What year is your bike? Gen2 UK spec bikes are set to degrees C and MPG (imperial gallons), no way of changing them. If yours is a Gen2 and is reading degrees F, it's not a UK bike.

I'm also a UK owner of a 2018 AS, purchased new in January 2018, currently with just on 30,000 miles. Our USA cousins never had the blessings of the Gen3 YCC-S gearbox, and its operation was significantly improved from the Gen2 AE as it was designated in that market. if you are considering...

Definitely an Audiovox CCS 100, If it's of any use, try this link for the manual. You'll need to take the cover off to find exactly which wire is cut, it is very common to not use the "Speed" wire, just to rely on the tacho for speed regulation. I installed one on my 2006 and 2010, annotated...

No, you should have started the thread. Yes, it took some effort to get a definitive answer to your question, but that answer could help others. As for "noses out of joint", anyone who gets upset by what's going on here shouldn't be here. These stupid arguments go on all the time. And, always...

Not in my owner's manuals. I counted five with the ignition off in each manual, none of them show anything on the display. Might depend on the precise model or area, these manuals are downloaded, UK 2006 & 2010, YCC-S variant.

A picture is worth a thousand words. :giggle:

This is a picture of my 2010, ignition off. Click on image for larger view If you want it bigger still, click on the new image.

Sorry, just picking up when you said "can't", which might give the wrong impression to others. Should have used a smily. :unsure:
