    Securing Velcro

    I dont think anything will successfully stick velcro down to an absorbant surface. The only foolproof method is stitching. That self adhesive velcro is pretty strong but eventually, particularly with heat, the glue gives up the ghost.

    Ouch- wrecked 2014 FJR on eBay

    Nice airshow photos Mcatrophy. When and where? Guess early/ mid 70s judging by the Police bike. The Police helmets look like Notts or Humberside but I dont recognise it as a Humberside airfield.

    Low mpg and slight power degradation

    ".....(for timing he didn't remove anything since all were within specs, according to him)." As a baseline before starting to look at other potential issues I would wanting to be certain that these were actually checked and not in the 'cant be arsed and too difficult to do tray'. If they...

    Dynojet power commander EX

    I have Beowulfs fitted but still had surging with the standard pipes. At a steady speed the bike felt it was on an uneven surface. I fitted the PCV and its a transformation. The first thing I noticed, strangely, was how smooth the gear changes had become but I suppose if the engine is not...

    gen III - strange squeak sound from rear shock

    What you have done is only a temporary fix. With the mileage of your bike the relay arm relay needs a full strip down and lubrication. This is quite a protracted job involving the suspension of the rear of the bike whilst te relay arm is remved stripped, cleaned and lubricated. Plenty of info on...

    Broken Spark Plug Cap

    Always had really good results on rubber with superglue. The only other good result was my fingers

    PC5 Fitted Report

    Last year I fitted a pair of Beowulfs. Whilst enjoying the sound they give it became apparant that the bike was not really running smoothly, lurching at cruises and seemed hard work to ride . So doing the research it seems that a PC fit is the way to go to sort out lean issues. Whilst I had the...

    CO2 Sensor Connection Plug

    Job done. Undid some of the side panel bolts which allowed me to pull outwards and gain some wriggle room and used the wire tugging method to trace its route. Appears it is the black pug as suggested by Mc. Anyway that's the one that has been disconnected . Thanks everyone for their responses.

    CO2 Sensor Connection Plug

    Thanks Mc. I did wonder as the white 3 pin connector goes in direction E over the top of the engine to the front where as the (black) connector you mention does drop down the side of the engine towards the CO2 sensor.

    CO2 Sensor Connection Plug

    Thanks so far. I can see the sensor in the exhaust but it is difficullt to follow the wire without taking the side panel off. Tank is already removed as part of the PC fitting process.

    CO2 Sensor Connection Plug

    I'm just in the process of fitting a Power Commander 5 in the hope of smoothing things out a bit. Everything fitted but now have to disconnect the CO2 sensor. To save me stripping off the side panel can anyone tell me where the connector plug is. I have a suspicion its up near No4 injector.

    Well s&$t!

    As you had deduced its an issue with the stands around that time. Not much help to you but the FJ Club in the UK is doing replacement stands which also highlights the issue: https://www.fjrcatalogue.com/catalog/item/7525896/8750672.htm

    Gonna Test Ride an FJR...

    Could I make a suggestion? When addressing the recalls issue dont ask if X,Y and Z have been done (closed question) because the answer will probably be "Yes" from a salesperson. Armed with what recalls should have been done ask "What recalls have been completed?" (Open question) This should...

    one vibrating mirror?

    You say you pulled it apart and lubed the pivot. Did you get all the washers stacked up as they should be as they only stack in a specific manner because they are concave?

    Shifting Clunks (1st and 2nd)

    +1 on the clutch bleed. Made a big improvement to my 06 12K miles. I also pump the clutch lever a few time when engaging 1st gear when cold.

    Orange stuff in the cylinder

    How about condensation over the winter in the bores causing rusting?
