I have been using the PackTalk for a few months now and think it is amazing. SO much better and easier to use than previous Cardo systems that I have had. The connection with my iPhone is perfect and getting a bunch of users "meshed" together is painless. Highly recommend!

Sold! 12/30/16

I know the right buyer is out there somewhere! Just dropped the price again, by $1,300! You may also bid on it on eBay. Great motorcycle; great price!

Bump. Time to move this great FJR!

You Da Man, AdamK! Thanks for the info and excellent detective work.

I've used a set of Z6s on my '08 FJR and thought they were fine. I will be ordering a set of these for when my new '16's Bridgestones wear out.

I ordered the hydration system from Gary and just used it for the first time on the Three Flags Classic ride, this year from Tombstone to Kimberly, BC (where I am as I type this), Installed easy and perfectly and works like a champ! I much prefer it to wearing something on my back. It is easy to...

The Check Engine Light came on a while back in my 2016 ES model. Based on what I had read here, I finally took it to the dealer -- MotoCity in Anthem, AZ, who are great folks! -- for a reset. "Hmmm...have you been under the tank?" they asked. Their codes showed the common kickstand error but...

Wow, you are a heckuva Rider, TurboDave! Congrats on all the accomplishments and keep enjoying all of the bikes in your stable!

I have a 2015 R3 in addition to my fourth FJR and find it a blast to ride...for shorter distances in nice weather. Cannot go wrong with this bike. Lots and lots of bang for the buck! (I'm 71.)

My "other" bike is a Yamaha YZF-R3 (2015), 320cc. It is not for touring like the FJR but what a great machine it is! Light, great handling, plenty of power (once you're used to seeing 5-digit RPMs). 70 mpg ain't bad either.

I, too, am thankful this thread got bumped since I had not seen it previously. I will merely add my kudos, Gary, for both a ride and a report very well done indeed! God bless you.

I am probably stating what the OP already knows, but... You do realize they came standard with the bike when new? Have you searched through all of your bike "stuff" for them?

Thanks, Ionbeam! Yes, I am blessed to live in Cave Creek...at least in the winter.

Any of the rest of you find that cruise control does not work with the CEL on? My cruise stopped operating when the CEL appeared. Coincidence or tied in?
