Both my bikes have cigarette lighter receptacles, both of which make LOTS of electrical noise when powering XM or ipod. It occurs to me I might be able to kill the noise by hard wiring the plugs into the system, but the XM, for instance, reduces the 12V DC to 6 at 1000ma. I'd like to find a...

I have a helluva time riding my FJR, due to a nagging broken tailbone, and due to the hard OEM seat...my wife hates the pillion seat, too. Someone on one of the Goldwing forums posted something several weeks ago about a gel cushion they were able to cut to fit, bought for about $20 at Wal-Mart...

I've had this suit for a couple of years, now, and it really got a workout the last ten days. I bought it because unlike the Stich, it's mesh, but protective, and I live in central Texas, where heat is my biggest enemy, especially behind the Goldwing fairing and shield. The mesh works...

I've an interesting problem with an ipod, using an Autocom and a little amplifier, and a ground loop isolator. On battery power, there's no noise (alternator or other ignition noise), but when plugged into the cubby with a Belkin cigarette lighter adapter, bzzzzzzzzzzzzt. The interesting part...

I've been disappointed in the sound I get through my Autocom system, using an ipod or XM. Sound is quite tinny compared to the same setup on the Goldwing, no surprise. I bought a tiny little amp called the Ampli-Rider, which has the great advantage of a wired volume control which I ran out to...

Go to www.slickdeals.com and look at deals for today's date, and follow the directions. Shoot, for free, even I'll use synthetic. EDIT: on closer inspection this may only work at a Pep in Cicero, IL, but look it over, mebbe the rebates will work, get the price down.

I've never used the particular motor oil. I have used some of their industrial products and found them to be excellent for the specific applications. It's very expensive. I have no intention of buying any, I just use 10W40, regular motor oil, but I noticed this stuff, and thought I'd post it...

Although I've had my bike since April, I've not been able to ride it since the first week I had it. Today I decided to try again (busted tailbone) and put about 65 miles on the bike. I got home about 45 minutes ago, and my hands still have that "buzzy" feeling. I have grip puppies already. I...

Since I can't ride it, I've been attempting some of the farkles I've read of here, and knew of on my own. I've got a problem perhaps someone can help solve. I added a fused power block per Warchile's plan (generally, I should say; i located mine under the seat. I sent the ground wire back to...

Please forgive me if this has been asked a million times...I'm electrically challenged. Since I can't ride my bike, I mize well fiddle with it. I want to permanently install an Autocom unit and a little amp, under the seat. The battery/fuse block is in an inconvenient area, and routing wires...

I cracked my tailbone about a month ago, and it's not exactly getting better. I have a thing called an Aqua-Aire cushion with a cutout that is recommended over on the Goldwing boards, and it allows me to ride the Wing, but it's too wide to fit on the FJR seat. I picked the FJR up today after...

...that Yama is starting a recall program...has to replace the entire instrument cluster...all your mileage readings will go back to zero. Let's see, make an appointment, spend an hour getting to the dealer, leave the bike for a minimum of one, more likely two, days, spend another hour getting...

I see posts regularly on this site where owners can't get into their glove boxes due to electrical problems, etc. Take your key and put it in your pocket. Place both thumbs on the opening "button", near the two ends and press down, pretty hard. The lid will pop open. My dealer showed me this...

I need the factory, not Color-Rite, paint code for my '06. I was surprised to note it's not under the seat on a sticker. Can anyone help? Thanks. EDIT: YAMAHA WILL NOT RELEASE THEIR CODE. THEY REFER YOU TO THE COLOR-RITE WEB SITE. THE CODE ON THE COLOR-RITE SITE IS PROPRIETARY, AND CANNOT...

NOTE: THIS IS MY EXPERIENCE ONLY. YOUR MILEAGE MAY VARY GREATLY. THIS IS NOT A DIATRIBE. IT IS A REPORT OF MY EXPERIENCE ONLY. I installed a set of these highway pegs last Saturday night, and Sunday did a couple hundred miles. The installation went smoothly enough, very intuitive and...

I've had Progressive insurance for years on my Goldwing. Added the FJR, the annual premium, which included only comp, collision, and liability (none of that PIP, uninsured motorist, etc) was about $780 per year. Called Dairyland this afternoon, got a quote for same coverage EXCEPT LOWER...

I happen to live in the same city as Roland, of Motovation (Austin). I stopped by and bought a set of sliders from him yesterday. The bolt right on, no cut, no nothing, very robust. VERY nice guy, has a neat little business with all sorts of sliders, bar ends, rearsets, etc. Some parts are...

The front forks have three adjusters, the rear shock has one. I'm wanting to soften the suspension (yeah, yeah, save it), and am wondering what adjustments should be made to the rest of the suspension if I turn the fork spring preload adjusterd "softer" say, two "clicks", what, if anything...
