    Cruise control flashing

    Contact points? .. Cruise control starts flashing after 15min or so. Key off and on resets and gives me another 20min. In the middle of a trip now so will be nice to have soon. Do I need to disassemble left handle bar switch? Tried to clean contact points but seems most are hidden.

    Sighting at Tapped Out

    Burgundy FJR (Gen 3?) spotted at Jeb's Tapped Out Cycles in Raleigh yesterday. Just picked up my wheels and tires to get RS3 installed. Looks like you had the same plan with the RS3s. Jeb is an awesome guy. He's pumping out work now with new employees and lines out the door the last couple...

    Went for It

    When I first met my buddy Jeff 3 years ago we had a few things in common, 1: We both loved dirtbikes, and riding anywhere we could find. 2: We both owned Triumphs. I had a 2007 Daytona at that time, and he had a 2009 Speed Triple. From that day he talked about selling his Triumph because he...

    RF1200 Pinlock at Night?

    Quick and easy.... Do you wear your pinlock at night in "city-type" riding? Meaning, good amounts of exterior lighting including on-coming traffic? Do you leave it in all the time? Take it out during summer? Always interchanging it? Does anyone RACE with a pinlock? Super curious. Not sure...

    Blacksburg, VA to Deals Gap and Everywhere BTW

    This started as an outreach for help, as many do, for help on route selection (HERE). Well our planning finally turned into a trip, and our trip was a huge success!! I'll try not to make this a blog or anything, but here's a quick get off from how it went down. Routes Friday night - I...

    Lost with conversions

    File converters..... I'm trying to convert a KML to a TRP in order to import into CoPilot. Using Macbook running OS X 10.6.8 (older snow leopard) and I'm having a hell of a time finding a converter that will work with this platform. It seems like everything uses Java, and Java from Oracle is...

    This and That

    Lost a Yamaha side emblem from the interior of the chrome bumper on one side bag. Is my only option to pay $50 for an entire new bumper?? That kinda sucks. Any cooler aftermarket replacements? Next unrelated question, rear wheel is off for a new tire. Should I pack the gear (is that...

    Shoei, Shark, and Fog

    Looking for a new lid. I actually found a few good threads on here referencing and reiterating some of the things I've been looking into, but decided to start a new thread because I have a few questions I haven't seen answered. Fist, I was surprised to see some folks actually wearing Shark...

    So I need a GPS...and a Bluetooth...

    As some of you may have seen..I just purchased a 2013 FJR. Love the bike, now on to the fun part. The many ways to ride it!!! I want to plan custom routes, or rather...I already have, in Google MyMaps. So, after further research it seems impossible to actually navigate my custom MyMaps? I'm...

    Eyeballing

    Hey guys, I'm pretty new here, but I HAVE utilized the google search function and model table already (among other things)!! I'm looking to rid of my wrist numbing Triumph Daytona and get something more conducive to longer rides and more enjoyable miles. I test rode a 2015 FJR and loved...
