    2008 rear abs sensor stuck

    I can't remove the abs sensor from the sensor housing on the rear wheel - it's stuck or corroded into place. The sensor seems like a delicate part and I don't want to take a hammer to it. I'm thinking of just using penetrating oil, but I'm not sure that is safe either. Any ideas? I did manage...

    Hell?

    The following is an actual question given on a University of Arizona chemistry mid term, and an actual answer turned in by a student. The answer by this student was so 'profound' that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure...

    Fork gaiters

    I have looking for rubber bellows type fork gaiters to fit on the FJR. I'm convinced they are the best thing going for protecting the fork tubes and fork internals, and on the FJR, would hardly even be visible. They are generally available for dirt bikes and old Brit bikes, but not large...

    Engine Light On, Doesn'T Run On All Cylinders

    I haven't even had my 08 FJR for three weeks. It's only got 11000+ miles on it. It runs like shit :angry2: . Today, I rode probably 150 miles and was about 15 to 20 miles from home and the bike died as I was accelerating out of a small town. I started to pull over and suddenly it caught and I...
