    Garmin 2610 - Reversing Route??

    I'm suring I'm missing something, but I can't seem to run a route in reverse properly. I keep getting prompted with the Recalculation sub-menu (Fastest Time, Shortest Distance etc.) I chose the route in the route list, activate it, hit Menu button, Route, Return to Start - this is where I then...

    Tankslapper Install Question

    I've installed the non-3M version of the Tankslapper on my '05 today, and have a question. Apologies if this was answered in the various threads, but I missed it. I have a number of little water bubbles that remain after squeeging - will these go away when the water completely dries, or should...

    Member/FJR on I-195 in NJ on Sunday 6/18?

    Was heading east in the cage on I-195 only a couple of miles west of the GSP intersection, when I saw what sure looked like an '05 FJR heading West. This was at 7:05pm. Was it anyone from here?

    Reverse Routing on Garmin 2610

    OK, I've done some of the basic route setup and used the routing, find and other functions. One thing I can't find is how to do the routes in reverse? That is instead of the pre-programmed A to B, I want to go B to A. Thanks in advance.

    Lo RPM Roll-On Odd Engine Vibration

    A question for you longer term owners: I notice an odd engine vibration when rolling on starting from less than 3k rpm with 1/2 or greater throttle. I know, the quick answer is don't roll-on until over 3k, and I usually don't. I'm just wondering if something might be wrong? It doesn't last...

    Rear Shock Making Noise

    I came back from a short 35 mile ride around the neighborhood this afternoon, when I noticed the rear end making a squeaking sound, along with a bit of binding with the up and down movement. Traced the noise to the rear shock, not the swingarm. Weird thing is, this only happens with the shock...

    Progrip Tank Protector Coming Loose

    Anyone know of a cure for this? I have the carbon-fiber looking model of the Progrip tank protector that came on my '05 ABS. One of the "tabs" is coming loose/unstuck. I heard from the previous owner of my bike that heating it up with a blow dryer will make it re-stick, but this didn't help...

    Finally Picked Up FJR!!

    I finally picked up my FJR yesterday, a very lightly used 2005 ABS model up near Boston. Only 2680 miles on the clock, with numerous Farkles, most of which I would have done myself as well! Have to admit to major paranoia during the truck ride back, imagining each bump and pothole sending the...

    FYI - Garmin 2610 Works With PDA Screen Protector

    In case any of you anal retentive types, like me, are worried about possible screen damage, I cut down an extra PDA screen protector I had to fit the 2610 and it works fine! Screen response is perfect! :good: Should reduce the worries for some, at least.

    Garmin Mapsource - Finding Intersections

    Hi all, I just received my 2610 a couple of days ago and have been just playing around with it and the accompanying Mapsource software. I updated the MS to v6.9.1 and the 2610 firmware to 4.60. I can't say I'm too impressed with the MS software, but the thing that is really bothering my is...

    Tech Mount Feedback Wanted

    Hi all, I am waiting for my Garmin 2610 to arrive, and am planning to mount it on the stem with a Tech Mount. I read in another thread that these don't last that long due to the plastic bushings. Can anyone who has experience with the Tech Mounts please comment? Is there a Ram Mount option...

    GPS Questions

    Just curious what you guys with GPS experience have to say: I'm thinking about getting a GPS unit, but some of the screen and demo shots I have seen of the Garmin and Magellan units look a bit "cartoonish", for lack of a better word. I also can't find much about the various zoom levels offered...

    Hi all, I'd like to pick your collective brains, and ask a few questions, if I may. I'm considering a couple of used 2005 FJR's and am wondering: - I've heard of the ticking issue - any idea what percentage of bikes suffer from this? - what kind of mileage have people put on these bikes -...
