Check your cam chain tensioner, if it doesn't have a paint dot, change it. Do a valve check at the same time if it is anyplace near due, you should will already have the timing cover off when you change the CCT. You really need to keep tension on the cam chain when the CCT is removed. Read up...

[Pre-Edit -- FU Photobucket, to view the photos you will need to install one of these addons Firefox fix Chrome fix ] Starting in '13 the FJR got a Fly By Wire throttle body system. As part of the TB updates, a new design Throttle Position Sensor was added and moved to the left end of the...

-- Truthful Name The OEM tires on my '15 have gone strange in handling and have started to wear fast. BikeBandit had replacement tires at a good price so I ordered a set to be installed before NERDS. They took my money but haven't shipped the tires. I've gone into a tire conservation mode...

Well dang, I saw Sac Mike's light brackets and immediately purchased a set and installed them just a few weeks ago. Then I had a conversation with near neighbor and fellow NERDS FJReady and he made some good points when discussing the light brackets. We gots some smart NERDS. He pointed out...

The picture of the shiny black Viper may disappear along with the ad at some point. It was pretty. 2001 Dodge Viper For Sale $30k Okay. Full disclosure. I almost killed myself in it. It is VERY powerful. Extremely, EXTREMELY fast. I've driven Ferrari's that don't feel as crazy as this...

Obligatory: I searched and searched... and I'm inadequate Someplace in the Forum past I believe I recall a plate which allows the Givi trunk to be moved back/forth slightly. My pillion finds the SR357/V47 trunk combination moves her way too far forward and would *really* like to get the...

Ol' Billy Fitz posts this picture in his rolling ride report --- And then, the perverters of threads chime in with: To which I will add -- The People's Car Company seen in Vermont on a ride with Fred W a couple of weeks ago: But of all the VWs, this is the one that I'll always fondly...

When my '15 was in the break-in period I would occasionally get an error message but since break-in I haven't seen the message until I got stuck in a line of cars this morning. I need to look into the ECO error that sometimes pops up. I notice that the engine performance is pretty flat every...

I need to get more than the current 1k miles on the bike. Later this year when I'm in the 5k mile range I'll look into it. New England Dragway has been making it harder to just ride in and run. The track says that I must have a kill lanyard which was easier with the '04 Run/Stop switch but...

There, I said it. This picture was taken on the maiden trip on a warmer, salt free February day. Then on another day we made one more trip to FJReady's place to watch a '14ES being worked on. Two quick little trips. Then it snowed, salted, snowed, iced over, salted..... It's hard to feel...

Blue crabs, that there will buy you forgives for not having cold water lobsters. Plus, we have flat fish, ground fish like haddock & cod and cold water fish like salmon. Us NERDS have had a coastal ride stopping along the way to sample chowders and stews, ending at Bar Harbor for lobstah. Oh...

Has anyone with a Gen III found a Yamaha installed 2 pin SAE connector at the battery? I have seen several ES models with the connector.

I had a chance to look at a Gen III schematic. Holy carp! 1. Whazzup with the squint to read layout? The schematic is cramped onto one page and needs to be 3 pages. A magnifying glass let me see better but it makes tracing the circuits hard. 2. Wires. Lots and lots and lots more than the...

Some of the pictures in Grumpypoo's thread were anointed with text and arrows using a color selection that some people couldn't see due to color blindness. The color imparerd asked people to use better contrasting colors when marking up pictures. Men tend to be color blind significantly more...

Imagine if Lamborghini made a muscle car. Now picture it on two wheels. That’s essentially what Ducati has done with its new XDiavel. The Lamborghini-owned motorcycle maker has put Harley-Davidson and Indian in its sights with a distinctly Italian take on the American cruiser bike. The XDiavel...

Prequel: In another thread there was talk about the number of FJRs sold with some really low numbers mentioned. A moderator shows up with some higher numbers, a Forumite says that they must be someplace other than where he lives. I thought I could show that there were in fact a significant...

Plans are still coming together but it looks like the 'beams will be in the Phoenix area from 7/3 to 7/12, exact dates may shift a day or two. We are going to see the niece that was involved in a motorcycle accident about 6 weeks ago and is still in acute physical rehab and provide some support...

Our niece in Phoenix is ~30 years old, a blondie that is brilliant in languages, one of the kind that is truly exceptional. She has also made some bad life decisions, one of those was last Monday, 5/4/15 when she got on her boyfriends motorcycle with no gear and no helmet. Jennifer has been in...
