A month ago I took my final drive off my FJR, removed the drive shaft and universal to lubricate and clean while a new set of PR4s were being installed for my trip to Eastern Canada. I reassembled everything and verified that all torque specs were followed during reassembly. I took a checkoff...

When I bought my Feejer in '08 my wife wanted nothing to do with it. She took one ride and at 40mph was holding on so tight to the grab bars that after just a couple of miles down the road and back home she almost couldn't let go. Last year she asked to take a ride. I was shocked but quickly...

Thought I would head out and wash my 08 before changing the oil and putting it up for the season. I turned on the ignition and flipped the kill switch down and verified I was in neutral. Hit the starter button and.....nothing." It has never not started. I tried several times and then hooked...

On September 17th two of my riding buddies and I left Indiana for the KOA in Townsend TN. On Sunday the 18th we ran The Dragon three times and then rode the Cherohala Skyway to Telico Plains TN and then back. We then took the loop through the Smoky Mountain National park back to our camp site...

For those of you who have, from time to time, had a fairly spirited ride I have a question. My Feejer has always had a little rough shift from 1st to 2nd. On the advice from several road warriors on this forum I simply quit worrying and rode it. For the most part everything has been fine...

Since this is not completely off topic I posed this here. Admins please move if there is a more appropriate place. I had my left knee replaced on February 1st. This is my fist total knee replacement and I am learning that this thing takes more time to recover from than six weeks. I am...

I just finished my Autocom Super Pro Automatic install tonight. I am very pleased with the final product and thought I would share a few pictures of my install. I would like to say a BIG thank you to Kieth from Tulsa Truck Center for hooking me up with everything I needed to do the installation...

Seems somewhat unbelievable, however, I received a call from my bosses wife the other day. She wanted to know if I would install an Autocom system on her and my boss's bikes. As payment she offered to purchase one for me as well. The deal includes an Autocom Super Pro Automatic, all required...

I was out riding with my brother-in-law this evening. We decided to head home a way that I was not familiar with so he took the lead. After one stop he took off in a spirited way and I decided to catch up. I took off and when the tach hit between 5K and 6K I shifted to 2nd. At this point I...

I have a question for a "friend". You see this "friend" has an FJR and loves it!!! From time to time he has been known to both wash and wax his FJR against my advice as I have told him it runs much better dirty. Anyway, he is not always on his game and from time to time has gotten wax on...

It isn't Friday and this isn't a "mine is bigger than yours" topic. Just wondering about the length of OES sliders. I noticed the picture on their web site made the sliders look shorter than other sliders I had seen. My search turned up one post someone was replacing their skyway sliders with...

I hope to have the time to post a complete write up with pictures soon. A buddy and I just returned on Sunday from a 12 day ride from Indiana to Colorado, Utah and Nevada. We ended up going North through Nevada and circled back through Utah, Colorado ending up in Wyoming and Nebraska before...

June 20th a friend and I both headed out at 5:30 in the morning for Lawrence Kansas from Indiana. I first started riding street bikes last year when I purchased my FJR. I booked 6,500 miles last year but with no ride over 300 miles. I figured I would make it to Lawrence and cry uncle. My...

I bought my 08 in April of last year and shortly after that I posted a question about my transmission. The general advice was ride it. Since that time I have placed 8K on the odometer and I still have one issue with my FJR that I believe is a problem. When shifting from 1st to 2nd, the sift...

I am looking at the Gaerne G.King boots. Any one have experience with Gaerne boots in general or the G.King specifically? I am also looking that the Gaerne Panorama boots. I need a new pair bad as I cheapened out on my last pair and not only did they leak, the side zipper blew out within...

**Sorry Mods, Just noticed I was in the wrong topic when I posted. Please move to Parts and Accessories** I first looked at the Zumo at Best Buy. It was $899.00. About a month back they marked it clearance at $759.00. I read a post here where someone found it for under $600.00 at Best Buy...

Being new to the FJR I was initially too quick to question every noise that the FJR made. As most told me, the transmission has become smoother as the miles add up. My FJR will turn two months old as of June 30th and now has 2400 miles on it. Wile the transmission has become MUCH smoother one...

Anyone have an opinion on the best place to purchase a Zumo 550? I found a site on the net that is selling them for 479.00 plus 14.00 shipping. You just worry a little when someone is selling something like this significantly less than everyone else. All suggestions welcome.

Has anyone actually seen one of these? Looks pretty big in the pictures but that does not mean much. There is also the Tanker Mini but again unless something else in in the picture it is hard to visualize. I have the dimensions of each just curious if anyone has actually looked at one and...

I have tried to research this and apologize in advance if I have missed a helpful post. I am looking for something to protect my tank other than the standard tank protectors. I am really wanting something that is clear and pretty much unnoticeable. If that is hard to come by I am open to...
