    Leaking Fork Seals??

    My 05 FJR has over 60K miles on it. Since this is the most miles I've put on a bike I've owned, I've never really had to think/worry about fork seals. I am beginning to notice an accumulation of dirt at the top of my forks just below my fork brace. The dirt must be sticking to some type of...

    Both Low Beams Burned Out at the Same Time?!?!?!

    Started my 05 for the ride to work this morning and noticed that I didn't have any headlights. That's strange, they were BOTH working just fine last night when I got home. Flipped the high beams on and they were OK, and since it was after sunrise, didn't worry about it. Arrived home before...

    The Difference Between "guts" And "balls"

    The difference between "guts" and "balls"! Guts - is arriving home late after a night out with the guys, being assaulted by your wife with a broom, and having the guts to ask: "Are you still cleaning, or are you flying somewhere?" :haha: Balls - is coming home late after a night out with...

    Help With Barbarian Jumper Mod

    I've reviewed the information on FJRTech for the Barbarian jumper mod and CO adjustments. My 05 has 15000 miles on it and it's coming up on plug change time. At 8000 miles I noticed that the plugs on the #1 and #2 cylinders were white (lean), while #3 and #4 were a light tan (perfect)...

    Brake Fluid Compatability

    My 05 FJR is coming up for the 16K service and I want to change all the brake and clutch fluids. At about 5000 miles I changed the front brake and clutch fluid because it was all dark green/brown as described by Warchild in FJRTech. At that time, I used a good DOT 4 fluid, non synthetic. The...
