Thought my brakes pivot point was locking up again, removed the shaft looked very clean and free from binding.Replace the components and still no brake travel, removed every thing again and started to find where the bind was? Couldn't find any thing wrong? Removed rear caliper shoved the pads...

Was asked by the dealer that works on my ride, why I always inquire about TB syncing, he said that they are pretty much at a fixed position once they are set? I see a lot of talk about how often some of you work on this part of your bike. Now I ride every chance I get ,so I do have over 50K on...

This blue screen is getting as worthless as the nightly news. Any body that can have a thousand plus replies is just taking up space in the world and has nothing but crap coming out of his or her worthless mind. It’s great to get a half hour of FJR reading but what you all have done is made it...

As you know I went home yesterday to give my broken toe a little relief. I sat in my porch with the cool air blowing around me, my feet up on the footstool watching the TV. All was great, but the TV would cut in and out because of a branch that was blowing in front of the satellite dish ( my...

They still gave him the trophy his et was the quickest. The fastest of the day was the 11.2 my counter had. The big difference was he had a HD, still had a great time though. The crowd was dressed in the normal HD black, so the rice burner was looked down on little. When the lights turned from...

If you were to do a hypothetical dyno drag against a pro stock Harley, at what RPM would you likely shift at? I wouldn’t know I have never or would ever do such a thing. But if you were to do such a thing, how would you start off the line. Dump the clutch at say 4 grand? Or would take it a...

Installed my newly received laser cut shelf; this is a very nice piece of workmanship. No rattles, no chips no run. I have 40K on my 04 right now the next 40K is going to be nothing but better with this shelf and the junk I have on. You can check it out by giving Scott a call @(909) 799-0088...

Was going to trap shooting, had my trap gun strapped to the back it was a very hot night 90 deg +. The sweat was forming on my body parts. I had me feet setting on my new forward foot pegs all was well, until I made an equipment adjustment on my body. One hand on the wheel and one on the body...

Has any one mounted any type of speakers on there ride and do you like them?

Motor quit at 45 MPH, just stopped. Pulled on to the shoulder, hit the button start button, she spit and sputtered but started. Hit the throttle just clear her out, the check engine light came on, was 300 miles from home in central Iowa with a very concerned look on my face. Did a fault check...

Looking for some sound reasoning about breaks and the noise you might hear from them. When the brakes on the cage go bad there’s no question about it. What am looking for is a measurement of good, bad and change pad now. Is the sound of your brake’s a tell tail sound? There appears to be two...

I was told that at 140 MPH there is only 1/4 inch of rubber on the road. I thought my BS meter was going off, But I don’t know for sure, so I asked even with Z rated tires? Was told yes. What can this group contribute so I may sound like I know what am talking about.

It’s nice to have a solid four seasons but when you own an FJR the winters get long, there talking forty’s next week though. You walk past your ride setting there all covered on the stand looking dejected, it’s like kicking your dog by accident you tell him you didn’t mean it but you still get...

It is now above 40deg F in Minnesooota, went and picked up my ride from the shop it's been at since Thanksgiving for surging. The surge has been posted forever but I have a different fix. It appears that my kickstand switch was the problem. I don’t have many miles on it yet and it can’t get...

Had an on going problem with surging, the TPS was blamed but after pulling up error screen several times, it all ways came up fault 16 (I think) maybe 17, the kick stand switch. The only time it will act up is when I have ridden a long ways or it hot out side. It’s going in the shop the first...
