    Throttle body sync

    Alright I screwed up everything. How can I make sure I have everything set back to original on the throttle body and go from there. I have a Motion Pro which worked great the first time on the FJR and on the Ural. For some reason my throttle bodies are trying to suck it dry now so I can't...

    Dealers

    Just sitting here reading the forum and started wondering something. Yeah I know thats a dangerous thing for me but here goes. Why do we purchase these bikes, which aren't cheap by the way, and accept the poor service from these dealers? Here it seems alot of the more experienced riders...

    Ignition failure

    After reading about all the ignition failures on the feejers I'm feeling Yamaha and GM outsource from the same supplier. I've been hearing about ignition failures on Gm cars for awhile and thought I had a good one. Well it started acting up a couple a days ago. Now I have to replace the...

    Gremlin bells

    Just curious how many of you ride with them. Since you can't buy them or install them yourself (cancels the juju) how did you get them? Should be safe to ask since its past Friday. :rolleyes: Edit: Upon further research I found you can install them yourself. It just doubles the power when...

    Midlothian, Illinois, Chicago Cycle and Sports

    This mess started in April after my fall down and I rode the bike in from Freeport right to the shop. First thing I told them was that I was going to try and do this without going through my insurance since it seems my insurer likes to jack my rates if I breathe to heavy. I told them to check...

    Anything going on this weekend around here?

    I have yet to call the dealer but the feejer should be ready today or tomorrow. If not I will probably be arrested or something. Anyone have any plans for rides this weekend? Or is everyone going to be at NAFO?

    bike wanting to fall left?

    OK. I admit I haven't been riding the FJR as much because it has sort of felt funny after the accident. I have noticed tonight that when I take my hands from the bars the bike wants to fall/steer to the left. Could it be my forks out of alignment from the fall? I checked tires and pressure...

    Winter riding

    OK. I need to get this in before Friday. I have a feeling this is dogpile material. Since I plan on riding well into winter this year, thanks to the ural, I need a helmet that won't fog up. Will a snowmobile helmet work when you ride a motorcycle? Does anyone have any experience with them...

    I'm In! New member of the Crash Club.

    Beautiful day yesterday for riding so I figure I would head up to Freeport Illinois to take care of some business. Why bother to fax, I have a motorcycle and look for reasons to ride. So off I go. Beautiful ride but a tad bit windy. Then I hit the traffic from the I90 work 2 miles before I...

    Riding in the rain

    How many other riders regularly ride in the rain? I don't understand when I ride into work and everyone looks at me like I'm crazy. My reply is "I'm not a Harley rider and I love to ride no matter the weather". I enjoy riding as much as possible. Hell I'm riding in tonight. Am I being blind...

    So.....anyone own a ural?

    I was thinking of ways to get my children involved in motorcycling with me and was considering getting my fjr company. Does anyone have any experience with a Ural? Since my SO won't go near the fjr I figured a Ural would be great to take the 2 little ones for a ride with dad. Or would I be...

    vibrations

    I was wondering if anyone has any experience with transporting electronics on thier bike. I have a Nikon 35 mm digital camera and love to carry it with me. Do I need to take special precautions to prevent it from being damaged?
