I did a search and found a lot of discussion re total ignition switch failures but didn't see anything about what I'm experiencing. I have an '04 FJR with about 34,000 miles on it. Put in a new Westco battery in October last year. I've noticed that occasionally when I go to start the bike...

This is a followup to some discussion I initiated several months ago on the subject of installing an adjustable airvent in the windscreen of my '04 FJR, which is an aftermarket Cee Bailey +4/+4 windscreen. I finally got around yesterday to installing the GL1500 adjustable airvent (clear plastic...

Just wondered if anyone else has encountered a problem with the latest version of the Mobil One high efficiency oil filter M1-110 that many of us have been using on our FJR's. I had a scary problem today which turned out to be caused by this Mobil One oil filter. I went to AutoZone today and...

Check out the test ride review of the new clutchless '06 FJR1300AE in the May 31 issue of Cycle News. They tested it under a lot of different riding conditions and liked it a lot. There's also a simple description of how it works and what it will and won't do. Plus a good summary of all the...

There might be a few riders interested in the results of the 26,000 mile service I just had done by my mechanic (not the dealer) on my '04 FJR (bike actually has 24,800 miles on it): 1) Valve adjustment check--totally within spec, no adjustment needed. This is as expected, I have yet to hear...

Wow, what a great review of the new Gixxer 1000 in the latest issue of MCN magazine. I've subscribed to MCN almost from their get go 15 years or so ago and I don't ever remember a review where they gave a bike 5 star ratings in every single category but one (Style--they gave it a 4 star). Even...

Interesting new GPS product made specifically for motorcycles, bicycles, etc. Waterproof, flash memory-no HDD, lithium-ion battery, large display, bluetooth. Something to consider, altho the 5 hour battery time is a turnoff for me personally. I'm not sure the mc connection adapter would work...

Motorcycle Consumer News (MCN) which, IMHO is the most credible and the only motorcycle magazine I subscribe to anymore, has a short product review in the November, 2005 issue on the Lowrence I-Way 500C GPS system. The review gave it a review grade of "A" for its performance on a test mc ride...

I thought I saw some discussion on the lane splitting subject awhile back but I couldn't find any of it when I did a Search. Not sure what Forum to put this in but I thought someof you might be interested in an article on lane splitting, which apparently is only legal in California. And may...

I'm getting ready to order another set of Avons for my '04 FJR and a set of Metzeler's for my '87 GL1200. Last year, I ordered my last set of Avons for the FJR from Southwest Moto Tires as well as another set for my GSXR and couldn't find any place that beat their prices. I can get the Avons for...

Wow, just finished reading the MCN review of the new K1200S Beemer. 167 hp in a 1200 cc engine, top speed of 172. MCN gave the bike a full 5 star overall rating, can't remember when they last gave any bike a 5 star. Great looking bike also, altho I wish they had included photos with the hard...
