    '05 w/Yamaha top box

    Fess up. Who was it? Today (Saturday) just before 8:00pm.

    Sharp HID's installed NICE!

    I certainly like mine. They really light things up.

    G2 Throttle cam Installed!

    My bike is a Gen 1 ('05) and I've always thought its throttle response was too twitchy at parking lot speeds. I can't imagine how bad the Gen 2's must be if everybody is complaining about them and nobody is complaining about the Gen 1's. My cornering technique includes feathering the clutch to...

    BBJM

    Are you certain your jumper is long enough to reach all the way to the pins in the 'other' half of the connector? I had mine apart a couple of times before I got it right.

    Installed Hyper-whites

    The cagers have a tough time seeing us so I'm always looking for anything that makes me more obvious to them. I ran across these on the CycleGadets site the other day and pulled the trigger (even though they are a little pricey). Clicky I just finished the installation and I'm very pleased...

    V stream or other? Little help please deciding

    +1 for the V-Stream. I added the equivalent of a 3/4" 'tuning block' to obtain great coverage with it all the way up and get quite a bit of nice smooth air when it's all the way down. Right now I definitely believe it's at least a 3-season shield for my area. I haven't run it in the...

    Coolant system question

    I recently did a coolant flush on my '05. Here's what I did and the results I had. - At the final fill, I topped the the radiator completely and the reservior to the upper line when the bike was cold. - I then started the bike and let it idle until the fan came on (4 bars)and took a short ride...

    Quick Newbie Question

    HR, You're not likely to find anyone on this forum that's going to try to talk you out of an FJR. ;-) My almost 58 year old 33 inch inseam knees can't take much more than an hour before they start complaining. My solution is to stop approximately every hour to stretch my legs (knees) and...

    Well, I went an done it.

    Awesome! Welcome. I put the fiamm horns on my '05. That made huge improvements. I'm in NW GA near Villa Rica. We'll have to get together for a ride sometime. Ride safe,

    Barbarian Modders please Poll your CO info......

    Mine's an '05A purchased new from a dealer in NW Tennessee. The initial settings were 13,21,9,16. +7 to each of them made a great improvement as measured by my, highly calibrated, BUTT dynomometer. ;) Seriously, idle and low end smoothness are much improved.

    More FJR Sightings

    No, I didn't know that headlight was out. Thanks for the heads-up. That's really dissappointing since I just installed those late last summer. :angry2: Maybe it's an omen that I should pull the trigger on the hi/lo HID setup that I've been considering. ;) It's good to 'meet' you...

    More FJR Sightings

    That was me on my '05 on Euharlee Rd. As soon as I saw you, I thought to myself that I would have to post the sighting here. I rode from my home in SW Paulding County up through Yorkville, Rockmart, Cartersville, Waleska, Jasper, Burnt Mountain, and Ellijay to Fort Mountain then back through...

    Barbarian Mod Testimonial

    I did the Barbarian Mod on my 'lighter/faster' blue '05A a couple of days ago and found that my initial settings were 13-21-9-16. I haven't seen numbers like that quoted any place else, but that's what mine were. Can anyone comment on that? I went +7 to all of them and it's certainly much...

    Audiovox CCS100 Poll - The First!! (but not final!!)

    I was saved today from voting No by the wisdom of the collective. I installed a CCS100 almost 2 years ago and couldn't get it to engage. I spent so many hours on the install and troubleshooting that I didn't have the heart to rip it off and toss it. That's a good thing, because I just read in...

    Scala Rider Q2 unit

    I'm going to abstain until after some reports come in regarding the new Collett unit. It certainly looks interesting. Zipper

    welding training in the Atlanta area

    Ray, We're practically neighbors! My home isn't far from Rose's Store (the intersection of GA101 and GA120 west of Dallas). I haven't burned a rod in several years, but it's not one of those things that you forget how to do. I'll be happy to help you get started. You should see if you can...

    Georgia FJR Riders Group

    JW, I'm in, PM sent. I might do the GA Iron Butt to get ready for the Bun Burner that I'm planning to do on the way to the NAFO. Is anybody else making plans to make the ride out to Colorado in July? Ride safe,
