Too much torque! Not often that you hear that. OK, so I got the bike back but had to leave it sit for a bit thanks to weather, and my granddaughters visiting, sweet. Saturday I tackled the steering bearings. Not sure how much torque I had it at but it was very tight. So I loosened it up and...

Thanks for the input. I will certainly recheck the torque setting when I get the bike back. Last summer I was feeling a clunk again so I tightened up the steering head without checking the torque. The torque wrench was all the way over on the other side of the garage, and I didn't remember the...

Hi, My 2016 FJR1300A has started to have very vague steering. It has 39,000 miles. I am the second owner and have had it since 32k, a bit over a year ago. The bike handled fine at first but has gotten progressively worse. What I mean by vague is that when travelling straight, it will veer...

THANKS guys. Could not find this anywhere!

@RossKean  Yeah, I'd like to consider an aftermarket shock. I have an "A" version.  But all of the online stores that I've looked at say that the Ohlins and other brands do not fit the 2016 FJR1300A. So I checked for a 2012, not that I have one, and they recommend an Ohlins STX46. Has something...

Still wallowing.  I suspect the shock is toast. Anybody know why the websites do not list ANY shocks for the 2016? Perhaps not for any Gen 3's? I'm wondering if it is because the stock shock has that hard-soft adjustment lever. I'd happily do without that if I can get a shock that works. 

@RossKean  HA!!! You're right. Thank you!!! The drawing for the rebound setting in the service manual is on the next page after the page with the text of the description. That page looked like it was dedicated to the ES version. So I wondered why I didn't find it in the owner's manual. I went...

Welcome! Wait - why am I saying "welcome?" I'm never on here. 😀

Not an ES version. I am the second owner of this bike. The previous owner racked up 31,000 miles in just under two years. He maintained the bike nicely. He kept it in touring mode and I suspect that he didn't touch the fork settings because they were at the factory settings. I dialed up the fork...

... and back to the thread The powerlet.com website is still up and you can still place an order. But you will not get any product. It appears that somebody has hijacked the site. Now the only option for payment is to use PayPal - though the page says you can also use a credit card. This might...

Wet Wolf - good luck getting your money back. Please consider filing a BBB complaint. I filed one and then found this (the only other one) that was filed in June this year. https://www.bbb.org/us/mi/sterling-hts/profile/product-sales/coilant-corporation-0332-90005318/complaints It is really...

All Powerlet products on Revzilla.com are marked "closeout" If you were going to expand an existing system - now would be the time. If you were just getting into 12v systems, better to go to W&S.

I was out for a long overnight trip last week and left knowing it was going to rain. So this was the first time I wore my frog togs and Cortek waterproof gloves. It rained for a long part of the ride and heavily at times. After several hours the gloves were soaked. But I'm pretty sure the water...

Their web site is still up. But their email bounces back and their phone just rings until it eventually hangs up. Does anybody else make a similar passenger lowering arm and the heat shields?
