    Shifting Hard Shifting 2nd --> 1st

    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…

    Shifting Hard Shifting 2nd --> 1st

    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...

    Shifting Hard Shifting 2nd --> 1st

    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...

    Shifting Hard Shifting 2nd --> 1st

    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?

    Shifting Hard Shifting 2nd --> 1st

    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...

    Wind Screen Recommendations

    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.

    Wind Screen Recommendations

    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. ...

    Do you have the Bluetooth paired as a “headset”? I had to do that to get directions working. I’ve only done it thru a Sena, so YMMV

    DIY FJR Passenger Floorboards

    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...

    Securing Devices in Top Case

    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...

    Securing Devices in Top Case

    Would it be possible to rivet these to the top case itself (I presume here that rivet's provide some level sealing capability)?

    Securing Devices in Top Case

    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
