    FJR1300 Won't restart when hot

    I had the same issue with my 2003, turns out the starter was bad. Replaced the starter and never had another issue with it. Went like this, cold start, no problem. With a hot engine, if you stalled it and restarted it would start, but sound like it was hard, almost like a weak battery. Hot...

    From the Coast to the Border

    The FZ-10 is Marion's ride, I have taken it out a few times, crazy fun. With the hard cases on it its a great commuter. She takes it into work and still manages to wear down the edges of her tires.

    From the Coast to the Border

    That is for sure, it was huge sitting next to the FJR, made it look like a sport-bike with hard cases... wait.. no, couldn't be. Anyway, a pic of a proper garage, filled with bikes. The 2004 sold in under a week sitting at the end of my driveway. So that went well. Now I have to get the back...

    From the Coast to the Border

    Plastic has been interesting to say the least. The TBS went well but found cyl #3 adjustment screw is bottomed out, that brings everything into spec but I fear next time I will have take off the throttle bodies and clean them, now that's going to be really interesting. Should note that its not...

    No brake lights and on the road. KrZy8

    Greaser Ball is very descriptive, better than zerk... which would be your translation. I'm stealing this idea too, can't say how many times I've taken that thing apart to clean/lube but the next time shall be the last.

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    Well it was missing at idle so before the trip I changed out the plugs... it seems to have helped but it still "coughs" from time to time... old plugs looked ok. Maybe time for a TBS...

    Should also take the time to note that with out the AirHawk2 the all days rides would have been unbearable... after about 8hrs my butt has had enough, but with the AirHawk after the 14hrs to PA I wans't even worried about it.. my shoulders on the other hand... but I digress. Marion got the same...
