    Very Nice LED lights with P7 emitter (4die)

    These would work really well for the FJR format. This is a new product from a custom maker. https://martin-led.com/

    Radar and tunes?

    I have an Escort Solo S2 radar detector and an Ipod. I would like to have the sound from both the detector and Ipod to play through my Etymotic ER6i headphones. I really like the ER6i headphones. They sound great and they fit nicely under my helmet. The radar detector is mounted to my clutch...

    bleeding linked breaks on '06/'07 FJRs

    I need to know the correct procedure for bleeding the linked rear and front break. I have no problem with the front as that is pretty much the same as any other bike I have worked on. The question is: do you bleed the rear line first and seperate from the front line, or do they need to be bled...

    fjr rubber = $$$ no burnouts with these tires

    I had to buy tires for my FJR and my wife's Shadow today. I paid almost $700.00 when all was said and done. I will have to plan my tire purchases to be a little more staggered in the future. I decided to try out the Avon Storms. I hope that they will last a bit longer than the Bridgestones I had...

    ??? about high altitude riding on the FJR (clutch boil)

    I am planning a national park trip this summer with my wife which includes Rocky Mountain National Park (12,000+ ft.). I have heard stories of hydraulic clutches on older motorcycles boiling at these higher elevations. Is this something that I need to be cautious of on my FJR? Can I avoid it...

    No snow yet! (central MN)

    I was able to put some miles on mr FJR yesterday as the temperature reached 55 degrees. I have been bound to my cage for at least a month because of work and poor conditions. The 130 mile ride was simply grin inducing. Today I am thankful for warm November days! I think it's going to be a long...

    Rack solutions

    My rack is quite scuffed and scratched up as I knew it would be after a few trips on the bike. I really didn't want to replace it with some of the aftermarket ones that I have seen because I like the way the original one looks minus the scuffs. I had thought of covering it with black tool dip to...

    Led Taillights and ABS Breaks

    I read another thread that discouraged leds in the tail because of directional lighting. I found a replacement that might solve that problem but I am unsure if it will affect the ABS breaks on my '06A. Any experience would be helpful. https://www.autodirectsave.com/1156_1157_LED_BULBS.asp

    just having a bit o' fun

    I was cruising down a four lane today just minding my own business when along came a younger guy on some kind of a sport bike (no decals or helmet). He was cracking the throttle and picking up the front tire next to me trying to get my attention. I glanced over at him and he grinned. I thought...

    06 front brake rattle

    OK so here’s the deal. I took my bike in for its 600 mile service a couple of weeks ago when I left the dealer I hear a rattle, I didn't think much of it because they installed the bags at the same time and just figured the bags rattled a bit. When I got home I removed the bags and the rattle...

    loctite on bag locks

    I remember seeing a thread for this but a search came up with nothing. I asked the dealer if the bag locks had been loctited and they looked at me like I was crazy. They said there was nothing to loctite and that the locks could not possibly back out. Are the locks on the '06 different? My guess...

    Strange sounds after first service

    I just had my '06 in for sevice today (900miles). They did an oil and filter change along with final drive. I had them check the drive spline and they said it was well lubed. I also had them do a TBS. They said that was very close. On the ride home I noticed that the engine sounded a bit...

    Thanks FJR FORUM!!!!!!!!

    I have to let you all know that this site was instrumental in my decision to buy my new FJR. I love this friggin bike! I probably wouldn't have purchased a bike that I could not ride much less sit on, but after reading all of the posts I got the fever. My last bike was a 2002 Honda 1100 Shadow...

    Average MPG indicator

    Today I was showing 47.2 mpg with shield up at about 60mph. Has any body checked if these computer readings are accurate? My guess is that they are optimistic like the speedo, though its just a guess. I could check it myself and will if nobody else hasn't done it already.

    600 mile checkup

    Well The stealer wants $150.00 for the check up and they told me that all they do is change oil, filter and final drive. I am pretty sure that I could do this myself. The question is do I need to take it to them to fufill my warranty requirements (original and YES)? I asked the deaer if a...

    Financing?

    I ordered an 06 FJR a while back, thinking that I would be able to finance it through Yammy simmilar to what Harley and most auto manufacturers do. I was just at Yammy's web site and it stated that current promos do not apply to FJR's :blink: . Will I have a difficult time financing this bike...
