TXFJR easy solution is to place a board about 6" wide about 1" thick on the floor ride or roll your bikes rear wheel on it then use the centre stand .Some blokes even bolt it to the floor and cut a chamfer on the leading edge so the bike rides straight up on it .

Next time you change oil do yourself a favour and when its nearly finished dripping out pout a different clean drain pan under it .Then poor in about a litre ( quart) of clean new oil and leave it to drip out . You can see if you have any metal in it and how much old oil hangs around after each...

Mate I think we need to raise the drinking age to 21 downunder my eldest son is 15 ,I do not think I could handle him drinking in 3 years time ! I started when I was 12, as being drunk was a family tradition in my part of Australia . Well at least America has 100 proof Southern Comfort, now if...

On my 2005 FJR it has a factory top box and it is so good to have I do not take it off ,but it dose ruin the look of the bike ( like they do to every bike ) . Its like a supermodel with a pimple on her nose !! . We joke "Dose this top box make my bum look FAT" On my 2008 FJR that I just got...

Count the turns in and then turn it in and out all the way . Then return to the originally settings do the same on the other side and match the settings . This may help If you are unsure of how to set up the suspension just do a search on the board . A little spray with wd40 may help as their...

Ken it sounds really funny that it increases so much when in gear??? . Before going too far if this bike has done this for a while I would, when warm, set the idle at 1100 rpm add some Nulon Injector cleaner at double strength in the bike with some ordinary fuel from a busy petrol station,run a...

Do not be a stranger .Have a look at a Vstrom 650 if you are over 5'10" they are a very good bike ( I have one ) ,they are bit top heavy . They can do dirt to a limited extent and are very reliable .

BMW has a tried to engineer many things in the past with some success and lot of failures . Buyer have been the test pilots and left with the financial loss .One thing BMW do well down under is accept BMWs as a trade in on a new bike,of course they pay very little, but when no one else will take...
