    Leaky Fork Seal Question

    I've searched on this but no luck. I recently went on a trip and on the way home developed a leaking oil seal on the right fork leg that seemed to have caused enough fluid loss that I feel needs to check the fluid level with the other leg. I would just take the forks off but had a complete...

    Riding in or around lightning:

    This is long winded but thought it might help someone caught in this situation as I was. Tonight I was watching a show on tv involving some storm-chasers and how crazy these guys are. Which brought to mind an incident that occured while riding Hwy. 50 solo to WFO-6 a few years ago. I was loaded...

    PR2's

    I like many folks here have changed over to the PR2's also like many coming off the Bridgestones, mainly looking to extend the period of time between tire changes. Now there are many discussions on tires here and especially the PR2s pros and cons (alot more pros), group buys etc. I installed a...

    Relay Arm Service

    Ok, I finally got around to doing a service on the bottom end of the rear suspension components. I'm getting ready for WFO and trying to do as much service as possible before time to go. Seems I have a issue of removing the forward bolt on the center stand so I can lube the roller bearings on...

    Amsoil Dealer

    And the answer is, yes......but......I've search out this Amsoil product, and yes I know most will say just forget about it and go out and buy some diseal oil with no friction modifiers so not to mess up the clutch works. I have never used synthetic oils so the reason for checking this out. Ok...

    Devil's Tail Ride

    Well you've heard of the Dragon's Tail on the east coast, but this Devil's Tail on the Snake River on the way to WFO makes the Dragon look like kindergarten and looks very interesting. I haven't been there and the road from Homestead to the Dam is only 22 mi., (44 mi. round trip), my question is...

    Windows XP:

    Not sure how to correct the problem I have on the home pc. The screen goes up and down. I ran a scan and nothing came up. I also found on google in a forum that if the speaker are too close to the moniter can cause this issue due to magnetic field or something. But to no avail can I correct...

    Two holes in exhaust cans:

    Now we all know there are holes in the rear of the exhaust cans for our FJR high powered exhaust to exit, duh.....but the holes I speak of are under the front portion of the exhaust cans. They are small, are inline of each other and the rear one has exhaust gas coming out the hole......and BOTH...

    Right hand stock muffler can leaks at weld:

    Just thought I would seek some info or advice here from my FJR buds about maybe anyone having this issue of a leaking weld or welds. Mine is at the front part of the stock can and I hope it is covered under my Y.E.S. There is a pin-hole leak that is progressively getting worse and is noticable...

    Low Torque Values

    In my never ending quest to do most my own work on the FJR, I have what might be considered by some to be a dumb question but here goes. I have a good 1/2" drive torque wrench that reads from 10 ft. lbs to 150 ft. lbs. In the service manual there are many items that call for less than 10 ft...

    Infineon AMA

    I'll be heading out to Infenion on Sunday for the finals. CMA (Christian Motorcyclists Association) will be doing their helmet and leather check this year, (absent last 2 years), so those going can leave your gear at the tent for free while you enjoy the race with no worries. Hope to see some of...

    FJR tank pad protectors:

    I've seen some 2005 FJR's with a tank pad that has the FJR logo emblazend in the pad. It looks like its transparent but not sure. So my question is I'm looking for something better than the clear film sheet protectors now on my tank I think they are called tank-slappers?. After a while they...

    Stock FJR Windshield

    Since the stock window on my 06 is scratched up, (by some moron who put it together new), and I like it in the warm temps in Nor Cal and I want to swap it out with my V-Stream for summer, my question is, if you buy a new stock replacement windshield does it now have the "protective coating" that...

    New EXI Plugs and TBS:

    Did a TBS and installed a set of the NGK EXI irdium plugs. Now this sounds simple and no big deal to most but since this is the first set of new plugs in the 06 and doing a TBS together the bike now runs better than ever. I mean the difference is "very" noticable in that there is now no slight...

    New Bike Owner's:

    As the owner of an 06 FJR, I can say without a doubt I probably would not have done nearly as much wrenching on this bike if it were not for the great info from posts, the Bin-O-Facts and wisdom gained from the FJRForum. I've added farkles like a radar detector, GPS, hydration kit, forward pegs...

    FJR Sighting Antioch, Ca.

    Ok, who was riding in my hood on I believe it was Wed., the 4th of this week. I was in my work van coming off Hwy. 4 west bound and took the Somersville Rd. off ramp and saw a blue looked like an 06 with blue top case/trunk up in front of me. Wearing OTGATT of course. Had to be one of...

    MotoPort Gear:

    What with the recent posts on those enquiring about the MotoPort riding gear a question has always seemed to hang, why is CyclePort gear not advertized like other riding gear? I know they have a website, but other than that I have never seen them anywhere else like magazines, or distributors...
