The ABS seems to be actuating on my 09 (6K miles) at odd times lately. With only light brake lever pressure snd rolling to an EZ stop I can occasionaly feel the rapid thumping that I think is the actuator. It feels nothing like a warped rotor (much faster) and does not seem to effect the...

Does anyone have any mods / tricks to make it easier to put my GenII on the center stand. After two weeks sweatin bullets on the heating pad and a trip to the back doc, I have figured out that I need help. I've been leaving it on the side stand or getting help up until a couple of weeks ago...

Riding a new 09 with the sun at my back I noticed that the speedo & tach were hard to read. It looks like someone has wiped the lens with a dirty cloth and left swirl scratches that refract the light when the sun is directly behind. You cannot see the scratches in artificial light or when the...

I've had the new 09 about 3 wks now & yesterday when I picked it up from the first service the tech told me the tire pressure was down. This concerns me because they also found the pressure way down when I test rode it and it needed a couple psi when I checked it a week or so ago. Coming from...

The Helibar website says about 1.5 hours to install on a FJR. OK. Now can y'all give me a realistic start to finish estimate? Please include the risers if that changes the time. I realize the time will vary greatly with skill and tools available. Well this is going to be done at the...

Just came across the recall information for 06 thru 09 main switches. Checking the recall list it looks to me like the new 09 I just bought is on it. The last 6 digits of the VIN are the same as those listed but some of the letters preceeding are different. The recall list has numbers...

I have not looked at the fuse box or electric connections under the seat yet & before I get to dig into it want to order a power outlet to plug in my Battery Tender on the side opposite the seat key latch . Is there a place where I can connect a flush mount plug (unswitched) under the seat that...

Been riding a new 09 for a week now as an upgrade from the last new bike -- 78 XS11. The 78 was an amazing machine in its day but this FJR is jaw dropping to this old engineer who hasn't ridden anything newer than the 78. After studying manuals, forums, websites, etc., I'm still trying to get...
