After a few weeks of riding; I think I may have fixed the problem after following infrared’s advice to flush the clutch system. I haven’t had any recurring systems yet, so fingers crossed…
I could be misremembing, its been a bit since I've ridden my FJR. I could not be as well; once I bleed my clutch (and it warms up a bit in Iowa); I'll report any if its still there. Assuming it is, I'll be able to give a better description. I did this mostly from memory (as I never wrote...
I'm currently holed up for winter and planning to do my valve check and wanted to take care of this issue (or attempt to). So I'll flush the clutch and let you know when that is, though it may take until after it warms up to check it.
As to why I'm downshifting... its primarily for engine...
What do you mean by hand levers adjusted properly? They "feel" right.. are you referring to the measurement that, when the lever is pushed, the clutch is out so many inches?
I have a silly question - why would this just appear in the low gears? Why wouldn't it be in the high gears as well?
Hi All,
I got a 2006 FJR1300 w/ ~ 25K miles. For most of the life I've had it (since ~14K?) it seems to shift hard going from 2nd --> 1st. It only appears to happen above ~4,000 RPM, and yes, I am fully depressing the clutch. It's bad enough that I can see silver shavings when I do oil...
Time to try the MRA first, I'spose. There's no real logic behind it, other than it "should" be taller than the rest. Trying to avoid trying three different wind screens and going thru the motions of returning and buying new ones, etc.
Hi All,
I'm back into the world of trying to find a better windscreen.... I'm currently rocking the Yamaha Touring windscreen.
Here's what I'd like:
I'd like the airflow to be 2"-4" (ideally 4") above the current touring windscreen
The Touring windscreen is wider by 1/2" or something. ...
Hi All,
Recently I made my own passenger floorboards for my FJR. Since Knifemaker made the original plans and kindly allowed me to copy them, I thought I'd post my own guide here. Since we are all sharing designs, please feel free to copy/modify the designs as y'all see fit! This is my first...
Wow, really impressed with the ideas.
While the phone cases would work (cudos to the idea, btw), I like the versatility the tour pack organizers more (can charge other items if needed) and think it's the way I want to go. I won't be adding it to the top lid, as I have special needs for the...
I do like the pouch idea - and I'd probably be velcoing to the side/bottom of the top case (non movable side). One thing I've been thinking about itnernally is just having a tote velcro'd down the the top case. I just dont know how to secure items within the tote
