    Faced with a fix-or-buy decision:

    There are a lot of good replies here!! The clutch is an easy fix... I would not spend that much to rebuild the transmission.. If you’re lucky and keep your eyes open you can find a complete engine and transmission for a good price... If you’re fortunate to have the tools and the time you...

    FJR Mileage Milestones

    2005' Just topped 167,000 changing engine out for one with 6000 :) Current Engine runs ok but a bit weak on power mid range. Gas mileage is not too bad. Everything else is perfect on it. Will update after engine swap.

    Exhuast Header Pipe Repair and 80,000 mile service

    (This may a bit long :) ) Just pushed my 2005 with 80,000 miles on it out of the garage after a month and a half of work. It all started from a nasty dent in the number four pipe at the bottom 90 degree turn on the exhaust header. Hit something on the freeway about 8 months ago that nearly...

    Headlight modulator

    I have had one on my FJR from day one and just turned 68K. Very easy instal. I put the photo sensor cut off behind the ignition (key) and zip tied it to the wires that come from the left side of the handlebar. That is a perfect spot. It is bellow the panel and will cut off sooner in low...

    Helmet Slap at highway speeds

    Stick with the full face helmet... I had a problem more with noise on mine but has a slapping type sound.. So I pooped in some ear plugs and that helped but also put a laminar lip on to help with wind flow over the helmet not only at high speed but slow speed as well.. I use a dainese full...
