    If you couldn't have an FJR what would be the next best thing?

    I would take a hard look at the new Suzuki GSXS-1000 GTA (Canadian Model only I think). All the reviews are very good and it weighs about 140 lbs. lighter with roughly the same horsepower. There doesn't seem to be as much protection but this is a scenario where the FJR doesn't exist....

    Misaligned steering?

    I may be on the wrong track here but my '09 actually had the handlebar adjustments wrong from the dealer when new..... As in your case, the grips and my arms didn't seem to be right. It's worth a look.

    Recent Coolant / oil leak, maybe last oil change

    Item #15 is "Hose 1" and #18 is a Joint for Hose 1 ("Joint, Hose 1"). It connects hose 1 and hose 2 but is not a hose itself but rather a joint. You have to rearrange the item description as you would a name in a roll call like Smith, Bill.

    EarthX battery install issues

    This might be another option. They also have a battery management system and two terminals for each positive and negative. https://antigravitybatteries.com/products/starter-batteries/restart-oem/at12-bs-rs/

    Pickup Coil Rotor Cover

    Thanks again for the guidance. The whole thing went off without a hitch. The cam chain dowel pin stayed in place as did the ones on the cover. Started it up and so far all looks good. It was a slow leak but after cleaning it all when I initially found the leak, I discover small amounts of oil...

    Pickup Coil Rotor Cover

    Thanks for the replies. Yes it is the furthest one forward on the right side with the access plug, item 28 on the pic below. Also, there is a screw beside the access plug (I think item 36 but it's hard to see if that's just one of the perimeter bolts or not) does that have to be taken out? It...

    Pickup Coil Rotor Cover

    I seem to have an oil leak below this cover. I picked up a new gasket ready to change the old one out but notice in the service manual it says to drain the oil first. By my eye, the oil level wouldn't come up this high but I thought I'd ask if anyone has any experience with this. Thanks in...

    Gen 2 Stock Exhaust

    Mine's an '09 and I would do a swap if the '04 isn't a direct swap.

    Rear Brake Soft, No ABS, Gen II, WTH?

    Try doing the same on a patch of gravel, albeit a bit slower.

    Aftermarket Rear Shock

    Another option is Nitron. They have a US website and sell in USD. (They used to only sell out of the UK) $699.00 for the entry level shock. I have one on my 09 and have been really happy with it. https://www.nitronracingshocks.com/

    Difference between 2008 and 2009 rear wheel

    Upon further research, it seems the wheel is for a 2001 or 2002 FJR so there will likely be no takers on this side of the pond!

    Difference between 2008 and 2009 rear wheel

    Thanks for that bit of information. The wheel I found in Holland is not the first one I ordered. When the first one arrived, it wasn't for a 2010 FJR as advertised and labelled on their website. I think it was for an XJR1300 as far as I can tell. When I let them know they said "keep it and we'll...

    Difference between 2008 and 2009 rear wheel

    I can't say for sure. I was on a long trip into Washington and Oregon. At some point the ABS light came on and the bike seemed to lurch a bit. I pulled over cycled the ignition and all was good again. The ABS even worked as I tested it in the gravel. I started to hear some squeaking that didn't...

    Difference between 2008 and 2009 rear wheel

    Does anyone have any information about any difference that might be a problem between a 2008 and 2009 rear wheel? I had the rear axle fail a month or so back and it wrecked the wheel (long story) so I am looking to find a used wheel. I have located a 2008 rear wheel in Holland but am concerned...

    Dedicated GPS vs Cell Phone

    i haven't used it much yet but I downloaded CoPilot for my Samsung. It allows you to download maps that are pretty specific to an area. I don't know how detailed or accurate the maps are but it does seem to work pretty well initially plus you're not using any data from your cellular plan.

    MAP Sensor Voltage

    I'm in Calgary with a 2009. If you can provide some guidance on getting to the MAP sensor and where to measure, perhaps I can help.

    fragile original keys - need new ones for 2015 gen3

    I'm not sure if this will work with the FJR but it has worked for my old Toyota Sienna and it will only cost a few $'s. I have had keys cut from blanks that have no chip in them and I simply put the old, worn out chip key on a key fob with the new cheap blank. The old chipped key is close enough...

    Automotive gps and Sena 20s

    As Fred mentioned, my old Nuvi will only act as a bluetooth hands-free speaker/mic with my Samsung. It will not send voice directions to the headset.
