I'm a horrible person I know, but I left my 2008 FJR-AE sit for the last seven months. All I've done to it is periodically trickle charge the battery. Right now the battery idle voltage is 12.8, the voltage when attempting to start it ~10 volts. Using a booster pack doesn't help. I don't think...

And you are on the FBI's list of gang members! Darrin Cornia, FBI UPDATE: WARNING: Source is very questionable, take with a pound of salt.

When I travel I'd like to have a cover for my FJR, mostly just to keep the details of the bike out of sight and to protect it from morning dew. Most of the covers I've seen are pretty thick and heavy, as one would want for a bike that was always outside. I'd like one that was made of thin and...

The Texas House is considering HB383, which would ban the carrying of passengers on our FJRs:

But BMW and Harley owners are more brand loyal.

After 17100 miles my 2008 AE has a burned out headlight bulb. According to the owner's manual headlight bulbs in the AE are not user serviceable. Given that I have large, manly, hands, and am not particularly flexible, just how hard is it for an ordinary rider to change out the bulbs on FJR...

I took panel 'A' (the battery cover) off of my 2008AE this evening, and noticed that the forward 4mm fastener (the one nearest the headlight adjustment knob) was loose. If I recall correctly, there is used to be a nut glued to the panel A 'ear' for this fastener to connect to. It's not there...

A fellow at the ST1300 forum found an inexpensive top box on eBay (item 350464452078) that he likes. Anyone ever seen or used one of these?

I'd like to mount the RAM cup holder (RAM-B-132-309U) on the left handlebar of my 2008AE, similar to post #14 in this thread. The AE of course has the clutch control assembly where that ball is attached, so I can't mount exactly as SouthernCruizer did. What I'm specifically wondering is if...

This morning I took a demo ride on a 2011 Triumph Sprint GT. My impressions are here. On a bumper sticker its a great sport bike with nice bags, but the ergos are almost race-replica. Forget about riding one of these more than an hour or so. The handle bars could be raised I supposed, but it...

Howdy ya'll, I've ordered me one of these Powerlet Rearset socket assemblies. I'd appreciate some clarification of the installation instructions regarding the fuel tank. Step 1 says 'Remove the two bolts that hold down the front of the tank'. That seems pretty straightforward. Then you are...

I just bought a 2008 FJR AE from Action Powersports in Tulsa based on their Ebay ad. The first thing I did with it was ride from Tulsa to Austin (~500 miles). :bike: I have a lot of questions and comments, but I'll save most of them of them for latter. Just a few quick comments: I did do...

I've been lurking here for a long time since I came back into riding about two years ago. I've found I really like long distance riding, and probably as a result of my first bike being a Honda Dream I like a 'UJM' style bike. I have a Ninja 250 (with an SS1000 plate backer) that I've used for...

Suppose a potential sport touring bike buyer considers the Honda ST1300 and Yamaha FJR to be equally desirable in all respects. Our hypothetical buyer has short chubby legs with a 29 inch inseam. Considering only characteristics related to rider inseam (mounting, stopping at lights, slow speed...
