Just wanted to say thanks to all for your great expertise and general good nature on this fantastic forum. Sold my 2013 FJR yesterday. Just decided I really don't tour and with my new bike, the FJR was going to sit around-a lot. Between my defensive pistol shooting hobby commitments, the...

Wife says this has to go since I bought a 2013 FJR recently and a new Tacoma this week. 2010 FZ1, Purchased new in February 2012. 50 year old owner. Never down. No damage or mechanical issues of any kind. No mods--only bolt-on accessories. Extremely clean. Garage parked home and work...

Heard here or another forum that I want to loctite certain hardware on the side cases, but can't find it again and a few searches were unsuccessful. Can anyone describe which case hardware needs loctite and how I get to it (bonus thank yous for pics). Thanks!

Wanted to lower my ride height for my 30" inseam. Also ordered the seat with a "nose job" to ensure narrow at the front after the rep said that some say they are wider than stock. I didn't know which fabric/welt/piping/color to order so I said "like the pic on your site". I'm happy with the...

My Corbin is out for delivery. I understand the plastic adjuster has to come off the bike for the Corbin, which contributes to lower seat height. Spacer seems to be held in by plastic posts floating in a plastic groove but don't see how to easily take it out. How do you get the spacer off the...

This is my first FJR. 997 miles, ambient temp 53f, cursing along at 60-70mph. Cold coolant level is just above half way between low and high marks on center stand. While riding 60-70mph--Look down and notice C. Temp change from 189f to 140f. WTF? Keep watching and every 5-6 seconds at...

So, 2nd time yesterday I hit the start button only to have a moment of "oh shit" panic, then relief to realize I'm trying to start the bike with the hazard light toggle switch, which is where the start switch is on every other bike I've owned. Like the new start switch, but this arrangement has...

Had been thinking about this helmet since I saw it. I have the Olympia hi vis yellow stripe one piece summer suit that this will match nicely. And even if not wearing the suit I hope it makes me 1% more visible. I've decided I like retractable sun visors. Even if the helmet loses its SNELL...

Never send an accountant to do a man's job.....

Would anyone think there would be concern over using a taller/wider Calsci (or any brand) windshield on the stock bike for additional wind stress on the stock parts? Asking because I wouldn't mind 4" taller and a little wider. Geez, why do guys always end up talking in sizes....

Love the bags compared to the ST1300s even though they're smaller, since they come with luggage straps and liners. But, when closing the bags up I use a hand to squeeze the sides together as I close the latch, and I STILL feel sometimes like the pressure I have to use is going to sheer off the...

So, I bought some stuff and put it on last night. I'll be damned if the simplest one didn't give me the most problem: Pro Grip Tank Pad. I'm anal, so thoroughly clean area, lay it out, mark corners with blue masking tape, apply, roll edges, etc. No drama. PIC 1 Real time Industries'...

I didn't like the default settings, and I wouldn't miss the "Trip time" feature. There's 3 things I want to see (for now), so I have them listed here in my first screen. For some reason I want to glance at the coolant and ambient temps, and I'm still playing with Tour and Sport modes, so...

I'm trying to order the bag guards pictured for my 2013. I've heard bikes are the same from tank back, but I see this difference. Ryan Nichols at MC Enterprises is being extremely cool though--he's sending me a set WITHOUT charging me, and WITH a return shipping label in case they don't work...

I understand Gen II seats should fit my Gen III. I've searched and read several lower seat threads including discussions about Spencer's seat mods, cutting foam out of stock seat, grinding down plastic parts, etc. I'd rather spend some money on a more comfortable seat while increasing my leg...

Requesting help from a 2013 owner in removing front cowling shown on page 7-10 of the owners manual in order to remove "panel A" to get at the battery. I've removed the headlight adjust knobs, all bolts and quick fasteners for this cowling, but can't determine where to push/pull to remove it...

If possible, I'd like to see how your lower (they call it "closer") seat fits on my bike and what it does for my foot placement. I could come to you or give you my address, meet somewhere, whatever. I would appreciate it. Thank you.

From another new 2013 owner posting on my purchase thread in another forum about having center stand difficulties I decided to post this. Here's my technique. Only I just realized there is a hand cutout forward of the grab rails. My technique works same using the hand cutout versus the grab...

Feel like an 8 year old again on Christmas eve, expecting a G.I. Joe with kung fu grip. Warehouse tells my dealer he should have it tomorrow. He'll build it and let me know!! Details and pics hopefully to follow soon.....
