    Headlight Modulator

    Bill, As you can see their are different opinions on modulators. I say do what you think is best for you. Use common sense when following bikes or cars. They are easy to turn on or off. I have just ordered one for my gen 3. I had one on my gen1 and felt that I was more noticeable. I already have...

    Blue Ridge Parkway bypass-15mph

    Lonerider, If you have a chance, would appreciate an up date on the 15mph speed limit, when you ride that section on Monday. Or any one else that will be traveling that way next week.

    Blue Ridge Parkway bypass-15mph

    Does anyone have the accurate infromation regarding the BRP bypass speed limit. the park service infromation sounds like the reduced speed limit is for about 20mi, however they say the bypass is about 500 ft. I am going that way on the 24th of this month and I don't want the try to ride 20mi at...

    Battery Access 2013/Gen III

    Recently had to go back into the battery area on my bike. The first time I used a screw driver to unsnap the instrument panel plastic from the fairing. The screwdriver worked but it did leave some markes in the panels. This time I used some nylon pry tools that worked very good and left no marks...

    Fairlaner (Or Other) Help Requested--2013 Battery Access

    The screw driver tip worked for me best by starting at the top and working my way around and down. It was tough not being sure of exactly what I was doing. If you are careful prying it should work out okay.

    Bought my 2013 FJR in Richmond,Ky.

    Just picked up my new bike from I-75 Yamaha in Richmond,Ky. Mitch Butler is the owner who eats and sleeps FJR's. My experience was excellent from start to finish. He even called me the next to be sure I got back to Georgia okay. The price was $14299 plus a dealer fee of $150. I know D&H does not...

    Seat Handle/rear Luggage Rack Broken

    Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I misspoke when I said I use it to put the bike on the center stand. I do use the notch/grab point to put it on the stand. I have been hooked up with a used one, thanks to another member. So that should settle my issue. Thanks again for all your suggestions...

    Seat Handle/rear Luggage Rack Broken

    The seat handle/luggage rack is broken on my 2004 FJR. The handle is broken on the left front just at the left mounting mounting point under the seat. I am looking for advice on a bonding material that would create a strong enough bond so I can use the handle to put the bike on center stand. I...

    Comagination D115H4 Headlight modulator

    Thanks for your input. My flasher is a high beam unit. The headlights all work on hi and low beam and the daylight sensor is where it has always been and is well exposed to daylight.

    Comagination D115H4 Headlight modulator

    My Comagination headlight modulator stopped modulating recently. I sent an email to them asking for information how to diagnose the problem. After about a week I have not heard from them. Are they out of business or just have poor customer service? My unit is 3 years old, but with only about...

    Grip warmer controller resistance

    Grounded the wht/blk wire with engine running and after 5 min. the grips were much hotter than before. Using a firm grip and after one min. it was starting to get a little uncomfortable to hold. They didn't get scorching hot but I feel the heat they were putting out would be satisfactory in the...

    Grip warmer controller resistance

    Alan, Switched voltage at brake light switch, brown wire,engine running was 13.3v. This compares to batt. voltage with eng. running of 14.18v. The resistance across the grips measures 5.2 ohms. After going through these test, I am now thinking that the grips were heating when I last rode the...
