Well guys I have finally experienced a spider failure it seems. Before disassembly thought I would run it buy the crew. Bike is 06 FJR with 50,000 miles (hey I have other bikes in the garage with combined 200,000 miles). While out on 300 mile loop with 50 miles to reach home I made a quick...

Saw a hillbilly on an FJR few days ago. Actually, he was off the bike and sprawled out all over the front porch of a used car trailer office. Had the missus with him. I went back to see where he stole the FJR. Surprise - it was his. They were OK and they were lounging around the porch like...

Yo troops. I have a friend who is 06 FJR mounted, maybe 40,000 miles, doing a lap essentially of the USA. He is in Montana just now headed to the northwest and eventually into Canada to turn back east. He just called me and said that while underway that his check engine light is coming on for...

Well, here we go. I walked out to the 06 FJR with 24,000 miles this morning (hey, I bought it used with 1700 supposedly). Flipped the key and hit the starter. Very distinct tick three times. I turned the key off. Engine did not fire. Tick which actually sounds more like a "tack" is louder...

Just measured the valve clearance on my 05 FJR. Mileage is at 27.000. Book spec is .006" to .009" for the intakes. I got a very consistent .006" down the line on all eight. Close, but within spec. Spec for exhaust is .007"-.010". I got 7 of them at .008" and one at .009". Good there. My...

Hey troops, It is cold and I just pulled the gas tank to do a first valve check/ adjust. The manual says pull every piece of plastic on the front of the bike. is this really necessary for at least just a measurement. Looks to me like getting the side fairings off and leaving the front nose...

Well, It was hot early in the week, so I took my SV (summer FJR heat solution) for a nice cool ride. Ran into Three FJR's on US 421 in the twisties near the NC/ TN border. Got to meet three FJR riders; Radman from MN, Grumpy from NC, and Brazos from nearby who were taking a break there. I was...
