Freud would have a field day with motorcycle riders. LOL

I'm no expert but I've had my Feej for 16 years and what I've discovered is that they hate old fuel. Your symptoms pretty much describe what I discovered early on. My bike bucked, surged, sputtered, check engine lights,..the whole magilla. That was when I'd take it out in the spring after...

I'm seriously thinking about springing for one of those Lithium-Iron Phosphate batteries as a replacement for my existing dead battery. From what I can see they are pretty slick: slow discharge rate, no sulfation, no dangerous heat, yadda, yadda, from what I can pick up on the I-net. But the...

Mis-posted. Sorry

Post No. 19. Indeed, Indeed. Someone once told me that buying a Harley is the most efficient way to convert money into noise.

I put mine up on its center stand in my garage and I won't ride it until this darned heat here goes away. Riding in 90 degree weather is for lunatics.

Oh, you kid! There was a day when you pooh-pooh'd the FJR...back when you were stuffing overpowered engines into your C10! Glad you came over to the right side of the argument. May the force be with you! BTW, Mr. Bergmen, my '04 is still going like hell. Now it's 11 years old and I"m as happy...

I sitting here having a bad case of sticker shock. Woe is me! I've been using my 10-year-old old Garmin 2610 Street Pilot for years and it's done pretty much everything I've wanted it to do for me. I think I picked it up new for less than 200 bucks refurb'd by Garmin around 2005 or so. After...

George, Sorry to read of your medical problems. It sucks to observe a body gradually lose the flexibility and resilience of youth, particularly when the body in question is one's own. At 71 I'm fortunate to still be kickin' around on the Feej, although not doing the cross-continent trips I did...

Cheap? Hah! I'm just a poor old retired guy who barely gets by on SS and a few investments, so "cheap" has become a way of life. As for the 2610, It really does the job for what I need it to do. Most addresses are still on the map. I've yet to disappointed. Truth told, I use it more as a...

On my '04 I I installed a Powerlet receptacle on the frame beneath the seat (near the seat lock). The Powerlet wire (fused) runs directly to the battery so that it's hot when the bike isn't running. That way I can use the receptacle for an air compressor. The control module for my Widder vest...

I am still using my old Garmin 2610 for my bike. After thinking about upgrading, I really don't see any reason to buy a new one - unless I have to. However. the power cord is beginning to show its age. The shielding has pulled away from the actual plug and I can now see the small 20 ga wires...

Terrific pix! Looks like you had a great time. I've never ridden in that part of the Rockies. It's on the list now! Gotta do the two peaks and some fishing in those streams.

Hey, Ray... Ginny and I took your advice and ate lunch at the Harvest Depot after dropping off the bike last Monday. Yeah, I had a Reuben. Criminy, it's enough sandwich to feed an army! The damned thing held me till breakfast the next day. Delish and goes well with beer, for sure. Afterwards we...

I've got a good mount on the bike now. I'm kind of conflicted on your offer. Newer "look" in GPS's (smaller, 3D, etc..) are enticing but,... What do you need for the GPS only? PM me and we can talk.
