    Starter Issue? Display goes dead.

    I've been periodically experiencing a weird starting issue with my '04 FJR. Was hoping someone might have encountered this before and could share their solution. When I hit the starter switch, the starter responds for a fraction of a second, then stops. All power to the display goes away...

    Devil Magnum Exhaust Mod

    I inherited a Devil Magnum carbon fiber exhaust system when I purchased my used ’04 FJR last year. The mufflers come with silencer inserts that force much of the exhaust through the baffles. So equipped, it sounds nice; a little more growl than with stock mufflers but not at all loud. Just...

    Driveshaft Spline Lube

    My thanks to Warchild for ‘FJR Tech’ and particularly the write-up on performing a driveshaft spline lube. I bought my ’04 FJR last year w/about 18K on the clock. I had no idea whether the driveshaft splines had ever been lubed since leaving the factory. And after reading accounts of FJR’s...

    Wow - New Tires!

    I'm fairly new to the FJR. Bought my '04 back in May. Though I was very happy with the bike overall, I was less than thrilled that it was more work than I expected in the twisties. I had to hold it in a curve rather than just initiating the cut and having it hold the line. I thought it was...

    Driving Lights - Routing Wire Harness

    Morning All, I'm new to the FJR. Took some time over the weekend to attempt pulling off some body panels to run the wiring harness for a set of PIAA driving lights that I pulled off my old bike. I quickly realized removing certain body panels was not trivial. And I don't yet have a service...
