After a couple of wet trips of 1,200 miles each I notice the '14 ES is running...wrong. Felt like a fueling problem, surging at low RPM, hard to maintain a steady speed even with cruise control set. It would stagger a bit, then resume normal running. It was happening over many tanks of fuel so I...

I finally pulled the trigger on a custom seat. Went with the Russell for two-up, in leather. Haven't had an opportunity to get some break-in miles on it, but will try this coming week. First impressions, just sitting on it, the Russell is a bit taller than stock, but not as much as moving the...

I've nearly completed the install process of the Givi V47 top case on the '14 model. No issues with the SR357, all the box contacts are polarity-matched, LED brake lights tested with the box lid closed, looking good. Just one last step remains: exactly what wires do I need to tap into for hot...

Has anyone done research on installing fork spool sliders on the ES? I saw some nice ones by T-Rex. They certainly fit the '13 and the '14 A models, not sure about the ES. Neither was the dealer at T-Rex, so any info would be helpful.

Just wanted to say thanks to FJRBluesman and HaulinAshe for their excellent write ups on changing the CCT, and to Warchild for hosting all the informative how-to articles. The text and pictures were very helpful. CCT was straight-forward, no issues encountered. We followed the suggestion to...

Has anyone tried a 2GB flash memory card in a Garmin 2610? I'm running a 1GB right now, and it holds ALMOST every map I need. A 2GB would be perfect. If you've gotten one to work, which manufacturer was it?

Minor rant on Garmin MapSource. Move on if rants don't interest you. I'm trying to get the hang of this software, I really am. But I find it so frustrating. Take the Find feature, for instance. I am, at this very minute, looking at a recommended seafood restaurant in Galveston. Fisherman's...

So I'm logged on to Garmin, buying the upgrade to City Navigator North America v8. Seventy five bucks, no big deal. Then, I want to buy City Navigator Europe v9 for our upcoming trip to Germany in April. $299! What! Three hundred dollars! I guess I'm over a barrel, so I'll have to get it...

I'm looking at Garmin's website to buy an updated version of City Navigator. I have a StreetPilot 2610. I see there are two selection of Version 8: City Navigator North America DVD and City Navigator North America NT DVD. Which one goes with the 2610? I've searched this forum, Garmin's...

I searched, but as usual, struck out. It's got to be my search arguments. I looked for 'Windshield', then 'Windshield Tuning' but no joy. There was someone on here that changed the angle of the stock screen using some different bolts and washers. Anyone recall where it was? And has a parts...

I saw an invitation for a group ride, which was followed by a polite refusal. I'm not a fan of group riding either. First, I'll define group as more than two bikes riding together. Two is not a group in my book. The reasons I don't care for group rides are hard to pin down. The few times...

My daughter bought the new Kawi 650R, and I got to spend a little time riding it. Pretty nice bike. Handles very well, just added one click of pre-load. That's the only suspension adjustment available. Wide superbike handlebars, excellent distance between steering lock right to left. Feels...

Is there a listing out here somewhere for the specified fastener torque values for the FJR? I'm installing the Techmount steering stem nut, but damned if I can find the torque value. Anyone know it off the top of their head? Or can you recommend a reference source? Thanks!

Streets, addresses, nothing! I'm sure it's me, since Windows apps and I don't usually agree. I'm an old green-screen programmer, so GUIs don't always sing to me. I have City Navigator v7, MapSource v6.9.1, USB drivers grmnusb.sys: 2.1.0.0, with a Garmin StreetPilot 2610. My own address is...

Anyone using the RAM mounting system for a Garmin 2610? I'm completely confused about which parts I need. I'm thinking a right handle bar location would be good. Any advice?

The Ten Commandments of Motorcycling, with Apologies to God and Moses I. Thou shalt be attentive in thy travels, lest thee be taken unawares. II. Thou shalt protect thy noggin, for it is not so hard as thou thinkest. III. Thou shalt protect thy passenger as thyself. IV. Thou shalt maintain...

Exactly how are these things supposed to work? I found a web site that indicated you should open the bleeder 1/4 turn, then pump the lever. I must be doing it wrong, because I got nothing from the lines like this. :unsure: I gave up, put the stock bleeders back in, and used a Mity-Vac to...
