I would use a chisel and a hammer to break it loose.

+1 on checking you spark plug wires and resistor caps, remove the caps from the wire and use a DVOM to measure resistance, they should all roughly be the same probably like 5k or so. Also look on the inside of the caps with a flashlight looking for arcing...

I use a big nelson Riggs and no problems as long as it's not too far forward. I love it for big trips but front use it otherwise on the FJR ..

Did your deal come through on the Garmin?

Hello, I just moved to near Milwaukee WI from Portland OR, and now I have no riding buddies. Wonder if there's anyone around here that is interested in a new buddy? Who loves touring and winding roads. Plus want to do some back country stuff on the Tenere 700 I just put a deposit on.

Hmm, I do have videos on Youtube of me speeding, nothing like that but definitely signed up under my name, I always wondered about that but if you only have a few views since its just for me and my friends maybe they won't notice?

Thanks I just moved and sold my bandit and s all trying to sell my CB 550...

I'll take one, does it fit all years?

Welcome from Portland! Except I'm moving next week to Wisconsin, Milwaukee area. I went from a Bandit to the FJR, great bike and I do moto camping on it. Can't say enough good things about it, and I have a 2005 with 55k miles!

Good luck with the luggage, after smashing one of mine I went with hepco/becker...

+1 sounds like a battery issue/voltage dropping too much... That's the only reason the dash would reset. Even with a jumper if the battery is bad it could still drop voltage below what the dash needs to stay on. How old is the battery?

This hardly represents the whole thing at the time but you can still see how bad it was...

Wow interesting, about 10 years ago my buddy and I hit that road and it was so bad we started calling it the road that shall not be named. It was the worst patchwork of repairs upon repairs I'd ever seen.

Dunlop roadsmart 3. Great tire good mileage.

If its pop[ping might be loosing ignition, fuel still going through the engine but not getting burned... Check your spark plugs/wires and especially the resistors, look inside with a flashlight for arcing and check them for proper resistance... Most are in the 5k range but it will be fairly...

it really doesn't matter what's wrong in there, you'll have to pull the engine and split the cases. Then you can see what's causing the problem. If you shift without the clutch and do it smoothly there will not be any excess wear on the dogs, if you hammer it in without letting off the throttle...

Check out Koocanusa if you get a chance!

just in case both before me fall through I would take it for sure...

If the starter is drawing too much current it will pull the voltage down on the battery pretty quick.

Nice hope to do one more on my Gen 1, My first two were on my Bandit.
