Long story short. At about 65,000 miles I noticed the bike would slip out of 5th gear. I brought it to the dealership but they could not "replicate" the problem. My bike being an 02 with 65000 was out of warranty and I did not have an extended warranty. I called a few other places and they...

Taking the GL to Tampa for a rebuild, mech there back cuts the coggs. Setting me back about three grand to do it but I don't want to scrap my wing. Glad the FJR is holding up, still at 70,000 miles.

All is well, it worked fired right up and will add it to the PM schedule on my FJR. Now do you fix transmissions on GL1800's?

Sorry missed it but I thank you and hope this works. Have a great weekend.

Available in most automotive centers? If not point me in the right direction.

Lets start with that and see. I am hoping for a cheap fix. My GL 1800 just had the tranny go south, so 2700.00 repair on that. Love the FJR, it is my primary mode of transportation. I live 50 miles or so from work, the gas savings on the FJR over my Tacoma is great. So thanks and off to get...

I have a Gen I bike. Thanks

I am sorry did not mean to double click...how do you delete?

I can tell you I had the side stand up, kill switch was off, in neutral or in gear with clutch pulled in the engine would just turn over and no start. When I get home I will clean the contact on the side stand and spray some contact cleaner into the ingintion switch. Hope that is all that is...

Tried to delete this thread but can't seem to do so. My apologies.

Went to start the bike...no go, did oil change yesterday and all was fine. The number 19 was on the LCD so I think that is the code I need. HELP!

Did a routine oil and filter change yesterday, bike ran fine after that. This AM went to start it and it would not start, just had engine turn over. Was on my way to work so I did not have a lot of time to sort things out. I did see the number 19 on the LCD display so I am thinink that it is...

I worked in Othopedics for 12 years; both in a clinical and operating room setting. I would recommend a foot and ankle surgeon (board certified). The problem with a ankle is that even if it is a few milimeters off you will destroy the joint. The lining of the joint (articular surface is very...

My thoughts are simple. If you have to ask you should be changing the tire.

Will have to set up a place to meet on the weekend for a ride. I don't know many of the roads around NW Florida but would love to get to know them. I live north of Crestview....so my riding takes me up into GA and north AL for a real road.

Just was thinking how many of us forum members went to Daytona. I was there for the first weekend and of all the years I have been I don't think I have seen it this sparse. Maybe it was the cold weather with rain from day to day or the economy really has crimped the style of riders that...

Did the course on my GL1800......aced it. Much to the surprise of my instructor who told me that he only had one other person try it on a full dresser. I also had a V-strom 650 but I just had bought it and was more comfortable on my Wing. The entire story is that I was moved to Eglin AFB...

Man on man do I feel your pain!!!! The sad part is I also ride a GL1800; I tried to attend a few GWRA rides and just absolutely was disgusted. Not that I propose to smash the sound barrier but it was a gaggle at best. I avoid group rides of more than three or four at all cost, I just feel more...

When I ride solo I wear ear plugs just to drown out the world. There is nothing better than a cool Monday morning ride through the back roads to get my BP going for the week. However, my GF loves her music and is a "communicator" so that is why I am doing this. We do get out two up on the FJR...

I own both a Gl 1800 and a FJR; great combo of bikes to have in the garage. Yes it makes one smile each and every day I have to decide. Now my question. Do you use one com system for both or have two separate systems (one for each bike)? I would like to only have one set of helmets to...
