    Handlebar Buzz After Heli Riser Install

    Two days ago I installed a Heli riser on my 07 FJR. I also installed a PCIII with stock map and a K&N air filter. I rode to work yesterday and the handlebar buzz was much worse than stock. My right hand went numb after about 35 minutes. So last night I replaced the stock map with a modified...

    WTB Sergeant Seat for 07 FJR

    Anybody have one for a good price or can recommend a new one cheap? I don't care about the color of the welt.

    Exhaust System or Top End Work?

    I've been trying to decide which mod will give me more bang for my buck with my next performance mod. On one hand I can get a complete exhaust system for around $900. On the other hand I can have a very reputable local bike shop D-port and polish my top end for about $1,000. My research is...

    Aftermarket Camshaft?

    Simple question...I hope. I'm about to hit the threshold where I told myself I would begin installing performance upgrades on my FJR. Now I am looking to have the head worked on and upgrade the camshaft without going to a custom grind. Does anybody know if there is an aftermarker camshaft...

    New Year's Day Ride In VA

    I woke up yesterday feeling not terribly hung over and decided, like so many others, to go for a ride. So...I went to Google Maps, found what looked like a nice road, prepped the bike, donned my gear, and took off. I decided to follow VA-5 west to VA-106 south and then turn west again on VA-10...

    Day Trip in VA / WV on Jan 5th

    I think I will take a day trip on Saturday, January 5th and check out some roads in western VA, perhaps WV. I was hoping to go this weekend but the weather isn't cooperating. Can anybody offer up some good roads for riding? About the only thing I am familiar with is Skyline Drive. Anybody...

    Engine Clunk When Starting on Cold Days

    I've noticed that when starting my bike when it is cold out, and I have 20W40 in the crankcase, that I get a random clunk from the engine until it warms up. It only happens when temps are around 35 or below. During my last oil change I tried 15W40 and the problem went away. This leads me to...
