I'm getting ready to head out on a shake down cruise in preperation for a much longer trip in July. This will give me a chance to thoroughly test out all the farkles that I put on last winter as well as have a better idea on how packing will go. Anyhow, here's how I will be packing for my 10...

I'll be hanging out at the nearby Sipapu BMW rally the weekend before and then spend some time in N. Arizona and S. Utah before returning for the FJR rally. Anyone with similar plans? I plan on camping most of the time, except during SW-FOG. Let me know, maybe we can hook up.

I am in the processes of changing out my Starcom Advance with a Starcom Digital. I have a serious problems with the buttons both on the main unit and on the remote. They cause a loud popping sound in my ears when they are pressed. It is almost painfully loud. I have played with the master...

I was thinking about buying the Sena SMH10 bluetooth helmet intercom and removing the speakers and replace them with a 3.5mm jack so I could connect my own earphones. Has anyone attempted something like this? I have some basic soldering skills, but I am sure those wires are pretty small...

Check out this video of me putting my bike on a Park-n-Move dolly and manuevering it up against the wall in my garage. I found that putting the FJR on to the dolly to be fairly easy. It takes a little more effort but if you have the right technique it is not a problem. The Park-n-Move is a...

I would like to add a beeper that would sound when the ignition switch is on and the kill switch is activated. On several occasions I have killed my battery by using the kill switch to shut off the engine and forgetting to turn off the ignition switch. I've tried to train myself to use the key...

I installed the MC Cruise last year and it works quite well. When I installed it I had a problem with the throttle return spring. I had done the mod of unwinding it one twist to lessen the effort required to turn the throttle. With the MC Cruise installed, there was enough added resistence so...

Can someone please measure the diameter in milimeters of the Yamaha tuning fork emblem on the gas tank. I need to replace mine (new gas tank) and Yamaha is backordered. I may have found another source if the diameter is right. TIA Bob

I'm having a heck of a time adding a powerlet outlet to the cockpit area of the bike without causing harm to the plastic. First I tried the unpainted plastic on the left side of my '07, but soon after drilling the 3/4" hole and installing the powerlet outlet, the plastic cracked badly. I...

The shield on my '07 seems to have a lot of up and down play. I can grab a hold of the top of the shield and move it up and down quite a bit. This my only real annoyance with this bike. The shield on my BMW R1150RT did not have near this much free play. Has anyone been successful at...

I really miss my BMW grips and I was trying to think of a clean way to put them on my new FJR. I've seen how others put them on and used something like a Vista throttle lock or foam donut to fill the space left by the shorter BMW grip. I'd prefer to not do anything like that. Is there any...
