Last time I got a nail, I replaced my PR2's because it was about time to replace them. This time, I only have about 5,000 on my rear. I called a couple of Moto shops but they said they don't patch tires. I called Les Schawb with the same response. Can someone help out a mechanically challenged...

So l leave work an hour early to enjoy a long ride home through the twisties. I am not in particular hurry but end up behind a slow moving truck. I was patient through DY for a few miles, and when I could finally see a dotted line in front of me (but not quite pass the DY yet), I open the...

A few months ago, Motorcycle Consumer News reviewed heated gear and controllers. I can't find the issue. Now that I have installed the lead for a battery tender, I can finally think about adding heated gear. My first priority is adding heated gloves. In doing a search, Gerbing T5 seems to be...

I received my PR2's in the mail Thursday but still needed to figure out how to get the bike to the shop for a change. My old tire was flat from some type of a metal object. I pulled out a bicycle tire and started pumping. Sure enough, it worked fine. I put enough air (28 psi) to get to the...

For me it was removing after market exhausts and putting back the OEM cans. As someone said once on this board, "I love my woman and my bike but don't want to listen to either of them all day long." What was your favorite de-farkle?

I noticed lately that at stops and low speeds, the temperature gauge exceeds the midway point. When moving, even when it's hot, it never gets above 4 bars. As soon as I come into town, the temperature increases as I encounter stop and go traffic. After I got home today, while the bar was at...

I wasn't quite sure what to expect on my first hot day of riding. Last year this time, I was riding a nekid bike without any fairings and small windshield. I thought maybe I needed to get a summer bike. Well, when it's above 100 degrees, it really doesn't matter what you ride, it's hot. I had...

I've enjoyed the tall factory touring shield with laminar that's served me well during the colder months. Now that the temperature is rising will hit triple digits in a few weeks, I am thinking that I should cut to stock shield to give me more air. I figure I will keep the touring shield as is...

The good wife bought me a Laminar Lip for my birthday. I have both the stock and tall OEM windshields and plan on putting it on the tall shield. I am 6'0" but have a torso like I am 6'4" or taller. My entire head is above the tall shield and I can easily see over it. I have a friend who as a...

All last year, I saw two guys on FJRs going the opposite direction on my commute (I had an SV650). They always rode together, one on an 07 and the other on an 08. I always gave them biggest wave and even an occasional helmet tap. They did likewise. I always wanted to say hello, but you can't...

I've had my FJR for less than two weeks and I still can't get the grin off my face. I just can't believe how great of a bike this is. This is the fourth bike I've owned but by far my favorite. I love its powertrain, suspension, comfort, and storage space. Of course, the adjustable windshield...

I bought an '07 Saturday night. The previous owner installed Muzzy mufflers. It has a nice sound - see this clip even though it's not mine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bXGJSjqwNI Mine are in great shape with no scratches or damage. As nice as they are, I prefer the stock. If you are...
