I installed the 905 Racing REAR crash bars/bag protectors. While riding, I bottomed out the left crash bar (small scratch on the crash bar) when pulling out of a filling station on an incline going up and to the left. Has anyone had clearance problems with these crash bars? Made me nervious...

Anyone know where these can be had????? Thanks, Gsozz

Does anyone know wher I can find torque values for the bolts on my 2008 fjr? I did a search on torque and could not fird the info. The bolts in question are the two that hold the gas tank down. Thanks, Gsozz :blink:

I just ordered a pair of Motoport ultra 2 mesh kevlar pants and was wondering if any of you might have comments about what to expect and how to break in the new pants. They were ordered with full quad armor and lumbar quad armor. Gsozz

I just had a flat tire and had the tire fixed (removed and patched from the inside). I was told by a Yamaha Mechanic that I should replace any tire that has been patched for fear of the belt slipping and causing an accident. Is it common to replace any tire that has been patched? Thanks, Gsozz

Still having trouble with numb fingers? Try the small grip puppies on the grips and then slide a large set of grip puppies over top of the small set....add bar end weights, a Heli bar, gel gloves, cruze control and a cramp buster and you almost have the problem licked. All joking aside, the...

Might be just me but, I just got my Russell seat and put it on the bike. When i accellerate I slide back about 4-5 inches and when I decellerate I slide foreward about 4-5 inches into the tank. This is very unstable and unsafe. I took the seat off and returned to the Corbin which seats me in a...

I have created the route in mapsource and connected my 550, hit transfer/send to device and the download appears to happen....When i disconnect my 550 and look in "Routes" The route that I thought I downloaded is not there. Anyone know how to do this? Thanks, Greg////houston,Tx

I just installed a Rifle windsheld which is 5 inches taller and 4 inches wider. The only words to describe it is that it is a whole new ride! The difference is amazing. I also added a Corbin seat which makes the bike more "cruser like" in its positioning. I am now very comfortable. The road pegs...

I have been riding my new 08' for about 6 weeks now and just finished a 3 hour ride last weekend (brand new to riding, ride every day for a short time and am 54 years old). I am now have a very sore right wrist. I am 6'-1" 230lb and ride with helibar and bars in the rear position and also use a...

Hello all, I installed a PC3 and disconnected the O2 sensor on my 08 FJR and am wondering what will happen when I face the inspection man in a year from now. I live in Houston, Texas. Thanks, Greg

I was wondering how to plan rides on my computer and down load them to my Garmin 550. As I understand, I should get Google earth along with a $20 per year extra subscription for another google service which will allow me to plan my rides, and down load them to my Garmin 550. Does anyone do this...

Does anyone know who makes hiway pegs for our FJR's??

I did my first road trip today and quickly decided that a new seat will be my next addition to my 08' FJR. I am 6'-1" and 235 lb's. The stock seat transfers all the thumps and bumbs right up into my tail bone :o The stock seat seems to be convex so that most of the support is on my tail...

After installing my PC3 I tried to put the gas tank bolts back where I fornd them and could not reconnect the bolt shown in the picture. It seams that there is nothing there for the bolt to grab hold of when I insert it into the tank frame and then into the plastic housing under the tank frame...

I just ordered my Heli bar today.......should I attempt the installation my self???[/SIZE] gsozz

Hi all, I am in the market for a GPS and know nothing as of yet. Can anyone ring in as to what is the most popular unit? Thanks, Gsozz

I am a newbie to riding and just got an 08 FJR. Every time I ride my fingers go to sleep and tingle. At this rate I would not be able to tollerate a long ride so this is a big problem. I am wearing Alpinestar gloves but dont know if the gloves could be part of the problem. My wrists are slightly...

I have read a number of posts concerning the PC3 and am just about to put the grab on one of these jewels.....The problem I want to resolve is the jerkieness of the throtle. What I desire is a smoother power surge in the first 5 to 10 degrees of throtle turn. Is this what I can expect from the...
