    FJR ABS Test Harness

    I ordered this test harness a couple months ago. It arrived as and when promised. Unfortunately there were no direction/instructions accompanying the harness. Is there a thread or a link that someone could post here that will direct me? I'm in need for directions for a gen 1. I'm not a member of...

    Bleeding your brakes on a Gen-II

    Can someone link me up with the thread on how to do the ABS module flush using the jumper? I ordered the jumper recently and am having problems finding how to hook it up and do the module flush on my Gen. 1. I think I found the correct connector under the dash panel, but I don't know where to go...

    Gen 1 ABS Pump-Module

    I'm considering replacing the ABS pump/module in my 04. The valves appear to be stuck operating the rear brakes. While this normally is not a huge deal given how lightly the rear breaks are used, I however pull a trailer. I like to tour and I carry a good deal of weight around, and it's not a...

    Test and Maintain your ABS System

    I'm not in a hurry, maybe someone in the near future will part out a 04-05 and I can first inquire about its function before negotiating. Thanks for the help.

    Test and Maintain your ABS System

    Thanks for the replies. These were my general thoughts as well. My local independent repair shop insists they can't find a labor time to perform this repair. I don't understand why that is, but it does not seem to be all that involved to me. While I replace brake fluid and bleed my system...

    Test and Maintain your ABS System

    I'm going to knock the dust off this thread and see if I can get some ideas and maybe some help. I believe my ABS pump has a frozen valve that operates the rear brake. I have searched unsuccessfully to see if there is a thread here that addresses replacing the ABS pump, maybe there is, but I...

    FJRF008: Cam Chain Tensioner Survey

    A – the model year of your FJR 2004 B – the number of miles on your FJR when the cam chain noise became apparent 60000 C – what action did you take, i.e., replace the CCT yourself, have the dealer do the work, ignore the noise, etc., and at what mileage replaced myself as soon as I heard...

    dropped my new fjr!

    Oh hell, now you have the opportunity to just make up a great story in case anybody ever asks. Like it happened at a Track Day event or something. You would not believe the battle scars my 04 has. There is some Montana gravel still lodged up in mine somewhere, I don't guess I'll ever find it.

    Radiohowie is BACK after 2 months gone!

    I'm not around here much any more. I continue to check in from time to time though. FJR Forum remains a valuable resource. I just read through this thread. Sorry to hear of your misfortune and I hope you continue to improve Howie. Still riding my 04, just got back last week from my 3rd trip to...

    Washer on rear wheel?

    I need to twist this thread. I did a search for axle washer and this thread reared its head. So, let's move to the opposite end of the axle (where the lock nut tightens down), I need to know what size washer goes behind that lock nut? Anybody got and answer? I lost mine and need to buy a...
