One unit also has the base that allows you to plug your own earbuds into the unit AND I have the original base with the attached speakers that mount inside the helmet for my unit. My wife was content with the speaker unit. My unit has about 25 charge cycles, hers has about 5. Knowing that I...

Hey All! I've been putting a lot of thought into changing hobbies, my motivation to ride has been dwindling and after a long talk, my wife and I decided we'd like to sell the bike and find a Miata. I love this FJR and I've taken meticulous care of it. Please check out my craigslist post and...

I'm thinking my thermostat is sticking closed from cold start because twice now it's behaved a little erratically. Cold start, now bars for a few minutes and then it jumps up pretty quickly. Once on the road, it kicked up to 6 bars and then dropped back down to far and this morning while letting...

I've got a set of aftermarket straight weight springs in front that the PO had installed in the bike. I've got to reduce preload more than the adjusters will travel because the front suspension is still sitting nearly fully extended and I'm not getting much sag, if any at all when I'm on the...

Reading the aerostich thread got me to thinking.. I've got a firstgear wintersuit that keeps me very warm but I want something with viz and armor so I'm thinking about an Olympia or 'Stitch... with that said... I picked up a seasonal driver position at UPS (yay me) and I'm wanting to commute...

I picked up a twin pack and my wife and I absolutely love them, however, I splurged for the helmet mount that allows for external headphones to be plugged in and after a week of use, I started hearing a crackling in the right earbud (like it was blown) and an intermittent buzzing in the system...

I bought my bike with a set of traxxion dynamics springs (don't know the weight) already installed. The PO weighed about 200lbs. I weigh about 160lbs. I've always thought that it feels like the bike rides like a bass boat.. the rear feels planted (factory suspension) while the front just kind...

For grins and for the purposes of getting used to it, I grab a handful of front brake in my gravel/dirt driveway from time to time and it's not a 'buzzy' ABS like most cars I've driven... it's a very spiky modulation that kicks the lever pretty hard.. is that normal or is that a sign I should...

Got my side stand cut, slid the triples .5" and adjusted the turnbuckle links on the rear and I CAN NEARLY FLATFOOT THE BIKE!! :) I also did the "tip the bike until something touches on the side" (while holding the bike, of course) and it looks like the bike still has plenty of clearance to...

or will I need to do a little math to get a 1" drop? meaning.... will adjusting the links 1" give me a 1" drop or will there be a ratio given the cantilever style?

Looks like it's time to make some adjustments to the controls.. after a month on the Yummy, it's time to adjust the shifter up a couple degrees. I'm finding myself not letting the shifter go all the way back to center to catch the ratchet mechanism for the next upshift. Anyone else do this?

I'm getting a little 'clunk' if I ride over a sharp bump and I thought it was in my forks or brakes but discovered I have a little slack in the windscreen assembly. I'm assuming these are just mounting bolts (not the nylon screws that hold the screen to the frame, but the actual bolts that mount...

I'm hearing, what I thought was the fuel pump, but seems to be the somewhere around the front wheel, a sound, at speed, that just sounds like zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. It seems like it gets a little louder when I grab a handful of front brake (it also feels like the rotors heatwarp just a little...

I'm trying to find the backrest with the best support for my wife to lean on and not just brace against. If we're going to take long rides, she wants to be able to lean back a little bit. I found a decently priced backrest on ebay but the seller says it's only about 8" tall over the passenger...

My ignition key is different from my seat/luggage key which can be a little irritating 50% of the time. :) Is it possible to pull the cylinder and have a locksmith adjust the tumblers to make the original key work again? Thanks, Brady

I'm contemplating shaving my seat this week to get an inch or so of footing. (I'm on tiptoes now) I've read 'write-ups' on it, but I was curious if anyone on here has done it to their Feej and if there were any suggestions. Thanks in advance....

The title says it all... just going used for some backrest options for the wifey.

I test rode an '08 the other day and didn't notice this (of course, I may not have messed with the screen as much). on the '06, with the screen in the full up position, between 25-50'ish, a whistle picks up in the lower right (rider's right) side of the screen. I found I can make it stop if I...
