    I know there is already great advice and tutorials for the clutch R&R, but I thought I would add another perspective.

    FJR Milestones - Places you've been

    My father-in-law was my riding buddy. He was riding a 2015 R1200RT. We did the Columbia Ice Fields in late July of 2018. We rode on up to Jasper after leaving the Icefields and got stopped at a traffic light right at the turn in to the hotel and it started pouring rain. We were completely...

    Have backrest, what bag options?

    I have a "T-Bags" soft luggage that has a slot that fits over the backrest and straps that I wrap around the riders grab rails and cinch down. Usually carry around 30 pounds in it. This bag has been on multiple road trips and logged well over 50k miles with no issues.

    Funky Flasher Issue

    I had something similar happen two years ago on my 08 and did what SLK50 suggested above. It was a lot of work. I went through every connection and checked all switches and relays per the service manual. All I found was a couple of slightly corroded terminal connectors. I cleaned those up...

    2006 Gen II coolant change

    I have an '08 FJR with a little over 64k on the odo and just finished my third coolant flush. I've figured out a couple of tricks that make it a little easier and not as messy.
