    Spark plug cap & wire

    So I took advantage of the rain and replaced the plugs on my '07. All was well until my fingers slipped while trying to twist & pull the plug cap off of #4 and I pulled the wire out of the cap. I don't see a real mechanical connection, so I just pushed the wire back into the cap. Bike starts...

    Raise 'em right!!!

    Leaving first thing in the morning with my 11 yr old daughter for our yearly ride. She absolutely LOVES daddy's FJ!! Last year was her first long ride so we took it pretty easy (1200 miles over three days!!). Went through the smokies, down the tail of the dragon, and back up the blue ridge...

    New grips....

    What aftermarket grips are you putting on your bikes? I'm looking for a little larger diameter than the stock, and was considering maybe a gel type to try to help with the 4K buzz? I'm not running heated grips.

    Shinko's anyone???

    So I was at the end of day 2 of a 4 day ride in the smokies, just propped the bike up one the center stand and was checking her out when I noticed I had ridden the rear tire down to the cords...literally. I had a brand new tire at the local bike shop waiting for my return, because they could...

    What's your RPM range?

    Just wondering how hard everyone else is rev'ing their FJ's? I know I baby mine too much, but I find that when I'm cruising I always feel the need to shift when I get to about 3500. I'll crack her wide open every now and again just to keep the cobwebs out and to have a little fun. Maybe I've...

    gayest bike!!

    ARRRRGH!!!....So, I go to give the FJ one of her bi-annual cleanings. I hose it off good, and give it a quick wash and rinse...now dinner is ready. I go in and eat, come back out and find that the bike is covered in water spots so bad it looks diseased, and since I'm most likely going to do...

    engine dies

    Anyone experiencing this?.....Bike starts fine, idles ok, first time I pull back on the throttle it just dies. The bike starts right back up and never dies again. I've only noticed it after the bike has been run and then sits for awhile (i.e. after stopping to eat). The thing that bothers me...
