Howdy 17 HOURS? I know you bought the bike from them but it's time to never go back to them for anything. Tom Buckley

Howdy, Years back I had a 2011 BMW 1200RT, and I wasn't happy with the color it came with. The dealership recommended a shop that did only motorcycles. I had the bike repainted in Titan Silver, that cost me $2000.00. The paint quality wasn't that great and could easily be scratched. I ended up...

Howdy, Why on earth are you using a motorcycle filter when you can use a superior oil filter for auto motive use? I have used Amsoil filter that has a 15,000 life, and a Mobile One filter that has a 20,000-life using a full synthetic oil. These filters can be found when looking for a 2022 and...

Howdy, I used to ride BMWs, Then the dealer started gouging. me for $1,000.00 for the major services at 24K, 36K miles. One mile after the 36K service I sold the bike through the dealership, but they gouged me one last time, to sell the bike they charged me $400.00 to replace the battery. My...

Howdy, One aspect with doing valve checks is the dealership will also change the coolant. The thing is the coolant that the dealer uses is inferior to what you can get at any auto parts store. Your owner's manual has it that you must change your coolant every 16,000 miles. But if you go...

Howdy, One important thing that I do when it comes to wheel bearings is to think that there are superior bearings on the market. This will take some research on your part, but what you're looking for are what are called Ceramic bearings. They are more expensive but are stronger and will last 10...

In my 2017-18 FJRs this is a power plug, BUT in both bikes, this has been adaptive into power sources. one for my GPS on the '17 and a power source for my friend's cell phone. Your picture shows that the power plug has fallen out. In the box itself I use for my registration and insurance for...

On my last 2014 BMW RT I had one as part of one of the "safety packages", but it wasn't that great half of the time the gears would crash. I found out by accident that I could shift "clutch less" on my FJR and have never gone back. Tom Buckley

I'm impressed by your quick shifter, but on the 2016 and newer six speed bikes you don't need it as it has a soft shifting dogs that make it shift quietly and quickly. Pre load the shift lever then slowly back off the throttle, click click it's in the next gear Tom Buckley

While the business may be out, there are options to think about, namely having a machine shop fabricate a pair using your existing ones as a template that are made out of steel. Tom Buckley

It's to bad that you didn't get to a Federal auction, In 2018 the feds and some states wanted some "unmarked" Yamaha motorcycles and started with 50 bikes. They converted the 50 bikes in stages, then realized they only needed 25. Mt bike looks like any other FJR except for the police bars and...
