    Anyone have advice for a torn calf muscle?

    Yes, push her to agree on getting the ultrasound - as good as most doctors are, they do occassionally overlook something like a clot. You stated you did have a bruise - so we know that something in your leg bled - and then eventually created a clot. If that clot is any real size and breaks away...

    Anyone have advice for a torn calf muscle?

    Hey Jammer125, sorry to hear of your current leg issue. This triggered a memory for me - and I thought I would suggest that you go get a soft tissue ultrasound scan done to confirm whether or not your calf now has a blot clot at the site of the injury (?). The scary part of this type of injury...

    How to resurrect Yamaha FJR1300 that's been parked in my garage for 7 years?

    I think change the engine oil, rear drive oil, hydraulic fluids (clutch and brakes), look her over for signs of dry rot throughout on rubber bushings, seals, etc. Likely need to run some Seafoam or similar cleaner through the fueling system (a couple different tanks full?). I would guess that...

    Has anyone else here ever added a suspending pin to their MC Enterprises Canyon Cages to ease front end maintenance?

    Thanks for jumpin in here Mophead - yikes,. I've always felt a bit wary of those liftjacks, concerned about an unfortunate left or right topple event which could be very expen$ive to fix later. :unsure:

    Has anyone else here ever added a suspending pin to their MC Enterprises Canyon Cages to ease front end maintenance?

    Hey RiderJoe, I considered that, but I am really looking to implement a more elegant / stable solution.

    Has anyone else here ever added a suspending pin to their MC Enterprises Canyon Cages to ease front end maintenance?

    Thanks OldJeep - I certainly want to mimic what you're suggesting. The cages I have already mounted would normally make me feel adding sliders would be redundant, but using carefully mounted sliders outside the cages would tick multiple boxes for me: horizontal stubs to rest on top of axle...

    Has anyone else here ever added a suspending pin to their MC Enterprises Canyon Cages to ease front end maintenance?

    Thanks SkooterG - I hear ya. Yes, I'm not as concerned about putting strain on the exhaust header - just want to have a nice wide / stable method to suspend the front end for various maintenance tasks.

    Has anyone else here ever added a suspending pin to their MC Enterprises Canyon Cages to ease front end maintenance?

    Thanks for sharing Ross. Yes, I too, built a pipe frame years back, and have used it safely on my two FJRs - until it tipped forward on me once a couple years ago during what I came to call my Crouching Tiger moment (!). On center stand, I had both wheels off, and it was suspended in my pipe...

    Has anyone else here ever added a suspending pin to their MC Enterprises Canyon Cages to ease front end maintenance?

    Hey everyone; I haven't started a post here in what is probably years, so here goes. After searching through the various topics here, I couldn't find what I am looking for, so thought best to inquire. My Gen 3 Feejer has nice Canyon Cages front and rear, and a couple years ago I thought...

    Anyone use tank bags?

    Yep - for many years now I've been using a Cortech Super 2.0 tank bag, with magnets and a simple webbed strap wrapped around the steering head for stability. https://fortnine.ca/en/cortech-super-2-0-10-liter-tank-bag

    Going to See the Eclipse?

    Back in August 2017, the band of totality for that eclipse event passed about a thousand miles south of where me and my riding buddies live in Central Alberta. Here are a couple pics we took at about high noon in the hamlet of Lowman, ID that day. Of course we brought proper eye protection with...

    Sold Laam Seat for sale

    Hi Gmanhawaii. I have a 2013 (Gen3), and wonder if this seat is expected to fit both Gen4 and Gen3 FJRs? Also, are you able to share a little more detail about the operator seat's foam density? I weigh in at 225 lbs; did you receive any details about the Laam seat build when you bought your...
