    Yes, I echo Art Miller’s sentiments and appreciate all the helpful info from the contributors here. I’ll have a thorough look through my ‘16 soon.

    Did you actually see coolant dripping from the leak or notice the level in the overflow tank was going down? I’ve noticed the smell of coolant a couple of times on my ‘16 and am planning to have a look this winter.

    First big girl ride for the wife.

    Looks like a great ride and of course the blue FJR is beautiful too. Enjoy!

    Broken Rear Subframe

    Glad that you are safe and that the hole didn’t put you down. I hit a similar hole in Atlanta years ago on my ‘12.

    Is there an easy heat fix for the 05?

    If you are a member of the FJR Enthusiasts Facebook page, I posted a file there a few years back detailing this fix. I’ll try to find it and post here for you if you can’t find it there.
