    Problems with Givi SR357 install.

    I'm fitting the Givi SR357 kit to my 2009, but the fitment doesn't seem right. When I rest the rear part of the rack on the three rear spacers (which I measured to be 31 mm and 21 mm like the instructions say), the front part of the rack is about 1/2" over the two front bolt holes on the bike...

    Anyone know of good deals on PR2's online right now?

    I recently had a bunch of problems with my Mozilla bookmarks syncing and lost my cool list of fjr parts. I had a bunch of links to sites that had good pricing last spring but they are all gone. So I'm wondering if anyone has bought or about to buy some PR2's and what kind of deal the tires are...

    Getting the very best quality out of your Gopro Hero 2.

    For those of you looking for the very best from their Gopro Hero 2's, I just did some testing that shows some pretty interesting results. So far all I've done is picture testing, not video testing. I briefly checked the manual and I didn't find anywhere that explained the amount of compression...

    Anyone had problems with the E55's remote release?

    I just bought a Givi E55 and put the remote release on it. But the remote release does not release on the first try. I almost always have to do it twice. The first just buzzes, and the second will release it. Battery was topped up and I double checked the install. I can push a small object...

    First solo trip ever and FJR is acting up. Fuel problems i think

    The temperatures is about 90F outside and I'm driving on the highway when all of a sudden the bike starts running terrible. Hesitation, bogging, and the bike wanted to stall. In fact when I pulled over on the side of the highway, it did stall. So I had just filled up at a small town, so I...

    Are the maps from fuel moto actual made by them?

    I got a PCV from fuel moto. There are lots of places to get this unit, but none I found said they had a custom tune for the FJR. When I talked to fuel moto they said they had done FJR's on their dyno. So I ordered the unit. When I ordered the unit I told them I had on 09 and had Guzzy slips...

    I just updated the Scala G4 to new 3.0 firmware...

    Well I haven't used it enough to give it a good review, but the feature list looks really good. Sensitivity levels for VOX and AGC is a great way to fix their problems with VOX and AGC. Also it has different volume levels for all the different sources. Another great idea. However...there is...

    My header is so hot it GLOWS RED...

    I just bought a new 2009 and I was just idling it in the garage tonight. AFter getting it upto operating temperature I thought I'd rev it a bit keeping in mind I'm still in the break in stage. So I slowly ramped it up to 4K RPM and held it there for about 5 seconds and let off on the throttle...

    What is the stock tire that comes on the 2009 FJR's...doesn't look like an Z6

    I did some searching and found that the Metzeler Z6 was used on the FJR's as stock OEM tires. But the bike I just bought (but have not picked up yet) has a different tread pattern. So is there another tire that came on the 09 FJR's? Thanks.

    Is LCD on Gen II capable of imperial or metric units?

    I thought I read somewhere here that the LCD info on the Gen II was able to do Fahrenheit or Celsius on the outside temperature. Is this true and if so how do you switch between the two? Does that apply to the MPG or L/100 km mileage as well as the odometer in miles or kilometers? I'm in the...

    Time to buy my first FJR. I need some advice though.

    I've been waiting for this for a while. I'm getting ready to buy an new FJR. I've talking to a few dealerships in the Pacific NW and I have a couple options. First I can get a 2009 for about $12k. I also have the option of a 2010/11 for about the $13,500 mark. I'm not sure which to choose...

    I'm trying to find out what colors the 2008, 2009, and 2010 came in

    Anyone have a link that shows the colors the FJR came in for those years. American models of course. The stuff I've found on the internet is so inconsistent I don't know what to believe. Salesman tells me each year had only one color available, but internet seems to show about 3 colors for...
