Here's a link to the news Map update link

My dealer has a new service manager and he is a real :asshat2: . I have been trying to get him to do the upgrade of my ECU since last Oct. and he always has a reason to not be able to do it. So now he wants me to drop off the bike on a Sat. and pick it up the following Monday. I see this as...

Its time to change my plugs. I have a roll around tool box full of tools and I can not find a socket that will fit to remove the spark plugs. I know there is a tool that comes with the bike, but someone must make a thin walled spark plug socket that fits. Any ideas where I can buy one? :blink:

Just got the Nov. issue of Mtorcyclist They did a nice 1200 mile test of the Concours 14, FJR BMW R1200RT and the ST1300. FJR came out in second place. First was Concours 14, but only by a slight margin. Honda was last. They said of the Concours 14 "It's not the best long haul package for...

Does any one know what bulb is in the turn signal /running light? I have a running light that is not working and it seems like a bit of work to get to it. I'd like to have the correct bulb on hand so I can change it. The manual says; "Front turn signal/position light: 12 V, 21 W/5.0 W × 2" but...

I just got the latest issue of Motorcycle Consumer news and there is pretty good article about the FJR owners survey they just did. Lots of photos and the article is fairly upbeat. If you have the mag, check it out. :clapping:

I finally got the time and money to try a track day. Sports Bike Track Time held a novice (first time on a track) day at the Mid-Ohio track this past Wed. I signed up with 2 of my riding buddies (who are far better riders than me) . We trailered the bikes to the track and went thru the tech...

As I am planning my trip to EOM, it crossed my mind that I should have a spare ignition key in case I loose or damage the one I have. Has anyone had a spare key made, and if so are the blanks readily available? I did get 2 keys with my bike, but I'd like to leave a key at home and still have a...

I have had a few cheap plastic air compressors over the years, and they do work. I have been looking around to get a new one and found this Cycle pump link It sure is not cheap, but if it lasts as they say it does, I could have paid for it in the cheap ones I've bought over the years. Does...

I was planning to put some miles on the new 06 FJR today. I opened my Givi top box and put a few things inside, closed the lid and locked it. Got on the bike and right away I saw that i was very low on gas, so I headed to the nearest gas station to fill up. Its about 6 miles to the gas station...

My dealer jut got two 02 FJR 1300A's in and they are not spoken for. Anyone looking for one? Check their web site and call and talke to Shawn the sales Mgr. They are located in Wooster Ohio . Click here :yahoo:

I'm having a problem with my Garmin 2610 GPS. The touch screen does not seem to work near the edges of the screen. So it makes selecting some things impossible, not to mention that spelling things using the touch screen keyboard is not working well. I called Garmin today to seek some help...

Ride around Lake Erie for a good cause. info here Lake Erie loop

My dealer called today, my bracket for my Givi V46 top box is in. Picked it up and put it on. Fits great :yahoo: Glad to have my top box back. :clapping: All I need now is the top panel that is painted to match the '06. But the one I have was on my '05 so it'sa close match.

I traded my 05 for an 06. Now I need to add my farkles to the new bike. Has anyone added a power and ground strip to an 06 yet? I am getting ready to give it a try, but it sure doesn't look like there is room for it where I had it on the 05. Any ideas? Thanks, Rick

I am trying to find an easy fix for something that is driving me nuts. Does anyone here use the Ampli-rider and a Garmin 2610? I can not get the gps audio to work thru the Ampli-rider. The gps audio is too strong for the Ampli-rider and it gets clipped , thus sounds just like static. I...

From another MC forum, I bring this really sad news. Christian Neuhauser, publisher of RoadRunner magazine was killed in an accident in Winston-Salem, NC on Friday. According to news reports, he lost control of the bike and collided with a truck. I met Christian only once, he seemed like a...

I need to buy some sliders for my new FJR. What is the best protection ? I have seen some that do not require you to drill into the bodywork, are they as good as the others? It seems like the R&G are rated as best, does anyone have a copy of the template for drilling the holes? Thanks, Rick

I own a program called "Driver's Log" that was created by a fellow Gold Winger. Its agreat program to keep trackmof everything on a Goldwing or car, even has the maintanance items and mileage. I talked to the creator and asked how to input the FJR maintanance schedule and he told me it is...
