[QUOTE="Willie, post: 826720, member: 19038"] As some said CS is technique versus strength. Make sure both feet of the CS are touching. If you have only the left one touching then it is muscle. With both firmly on the ground a simple press on the CS it will pop right up. Someone mentioned the C10 Concours and how tough that was compared to the FJR. Technique was the key there. When feeling for both pegs touching the ground on the CS it will feel like you are pushing the bike past it center and over to the right. With you foot on the CS you will feel the spot where the furthest leg touches the ground. I use 2720 and 2610 GPS's and the socket in the glove box, hence my is not hard wired and I use the Garmin adaptor. I plug one of those extenders in and let one of the socket sit outside the compartment. With a dremel tool I carved out a small section of the lip toward the inside of the bike, that enables me to shut the compartment lid without putting an stress on the lid itself. I put velcro on the speaker of the adaptor and the left side dash and simply use this to attach the adaptor. One pain is the GPS shuts off with the bike. My bikes stay outside in the riding season, so my GPS has to come off the bike when not in use. Very nice ride report btw Willie [/QUOTE]
