    Exposed Wiring above coolant pipes/thermostat

    So I was installing my new plugs and noticed my coolant tubes leaked a bit. No biggie, I'll get some more o-rings and reseat them. I am concerned by the amount of loose exposed wires coming in direct contact with the thermostat area that gets extremely hot when the engine is running. I was...

    Rear Brake Light and Front Brake "Switch"- Look Ma, no lights!

    Looking for some advice here as I thought I had it nailed down but the 'fix' didn't work. The rear brake light will not come on when the front brake lever is activated. I first cleaned and then finally replaced the front brake switch assembly (the small component just under the front brake...

    Master Cylinder and parts replacement- Age

    I have an '05 with 60k miles now. No issues however I know that the service manual calls for the replacement of essentially all the internal components of the brake and master cylinders, caliper cylinders and clutch release cylinders every 2-4 years. They also recommend replacing the brake and...

    WTB: Gen 1 OEM seat

    I am looking for a Gen 1 OEM seat (front is really all I need). I am going to shave down the foam and customize it a little to see if it allows my wife to plant her feet a little better before I start messing with suspension pieces. Plus, this allows me to just pop my seat back on when I ride...

    Gen 1 Aftermarket Seat

    Looking for a Gen 1 seat that will allow me to lower the bike somewhat for the wife. She can ride it but almost needs to pull a ballarina routine at stops. I figure a lower seat and some shoes with a much thicker sole will go a long way without messing with the suspension and potential...

    Going to the darkside..................

    No, I am not adding a car tire to the back of my FJR. I am pulling the trigger on an almost new C14 ABS. I really, really struggled with whether or not to get another FJR as mine has been awesome (I plan to keep it and ride it 50% of the time) but in the end I felt like it was time for...

    Front End Stand

    So I need to remove my forks to have them rebuilt and was looking at the front end stand written up on fjrtech.com. It must have been written some time ago because that same iron pipe now costs $60, not $35 at Lowe's. Is this the preferred way to support the front end during this kind of work...

    Cld Weather and Fork Seals

    So the original set lasted 37k miles and went through 3 winters riding in temps as low as -5. No issues whatsoever until one seal began weeping in April. At that point the stealership replaced the set and here it is 8k miles later and I am still experiencing no issues until I rode the bike to...

    So if I am missing in a few days..........

    .......it's because I am very, VERY close to pulling the trigger on an FZ6 for my wife. Some of you all may recall that she was the one at EOM in 2008 that had the Shadow 600. Nice bike for her and fits her very well but lets just say it's not the best for LD riding. In addition that is my...

    Filipinos LOVE the FJR!

    So I am leaving work today and it's getting kind of dark and I notice this girl in her early 20's getting out of a minivan in our parking lot and running about halfway to me, turn around and hop back in the van. I continue to hook up my gerbing gloves and notice she gets back out, runs over and...

    Crash Club Qualifications?

    OK, while in a hurry to get the attention of my wife today as I pulled into our driveway, I did the unthinkable and had my first drop, ever <tears shed> Our driveway has a pretty nice size curb and its steep so you have to slow down and come in at an angle. Somehow I had shifted into "N"...
