***SOLD*** Rick Mayer vinyl covered seat from my dear departed '03. Excellent condition. I bought it used and do not remember what size person it was built for. I'm 6' 175 lbs. and it worked great for me. It doubled my allowed seat time compared to the stock seat. $250 + shipping to lower 48.

Some of you old-timers may remember the Wilbers Group Buy in 2005. I bought and installed a Wilbers 640 rear shock on my 2003 FJR. After throwing the 2003 in a ditch, I removed the Wilbers and kept it. I was installing it on my 2014 and realized that the Wilbers came with a different lower...

For those that were curious; Ivan, a well known ECU guru, now re-flashes FJR ECU's. https://www.ivansperformanceproducts.com/fjr1300.htm I read through it , and he can remove the cruise control limit.

I rode from work to the store, and after leaving the store, it turned over very slowly, and wouldn't start. After a couple of tries it cranked enough to start and got me home. First thing I thought was loose battery cable. They seemed fine, and when I tried, starter turned a little faster and...

Since it's right in my backyard, I can't miss the annual Reuben Run. (Although, after the last two, I may have to re-think that.) I left Roseburg Thursday and followed the beautiful green N. Umpqua River up 38. This is my favorite ride, and the weather was perfect. On the run up 97, I got to...

I was going to get an adapter to charge/store my cell phone in the storage compartment. Then I read the warning in the owner's manual that the compartment gets "extremely hot" and not to place heat sensitive items in it. Anyone tried this or know how hot it gets?

How do you get to Diagnostic mode on a Gen III? Just took a 30 mile ride and stopped at the store near home. When I tried to start bike, the starter spun, but didn't fire. I'm so used to it, (and previous Gen I ) firing right away that I stopped and looked at the display. It showed "016". I...

After totaling my '03 at the Reuben Run in La Pine in September, I took some time to let the collarbone heal and reflect on whether to keep riding or not. I never seriously thought I would hang up my helmet, but the logical side of my brain wanted to discuss whether I should. I don't bounce as...

I am looking at FJR's for sale and see several Seattle area dealers have some leftover models. I-90 Motorsports Ride Motorsports Adventure Motorsports Hinshaws Any of you guys in the area have experience buying from these dealers? Advice appreciated before I travel ~300 miles to check them...

Been looking for a replacement for my dearly departed '03. My patient and diligent search has paid off: I hope I can get Surly or Thug to check it out for me. https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-view-details.html?adId=1033424923

As previously discussed, I need a replacement for the '03 I totalled and sent to a new home. I was in Eugene, OR today to get a release to go back to work,(Collarbone much better), and I decided to drive on up to Sublimity, OR and check out a used 2010 a dealer had, plus they listed 3 2013's in...

After throwing my 2003 into a ditch to avoid a deer, it has been sitting in Ray's shop while I dealt with insurance and a broken collar bone. (If interested, see https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php/topic/154736-2014-reuben-run-sucked/ ) I went back and forth for a while thinking about...

The Reuben Run was so good last year, I had to do it again this year. I took off Thursday morning and had a great ride along the N. Umpqua River along 138 out of Roseburg. This is one of my favorite roads, and right in my back yard. After getting to LaPine and checking in at the Best Western, I...

Eli(4) Ready To Ride! Caleb(3) Not So Sure Yet.

So, my job of 16 years closed down 12-2010. They called me back from May to September 2011, then closed again. Except for some part-time work, (I'm an Industrial Electrician-Millwright), I've been unemployed. I had the option of going back to school or leaving the area. I didn't like either...

I have an '03 with a broken key in the switch. I have kind of buggered it up trying to get the key out. (Long story) I haven't tried pulling it yet to see if I can fix it, but I have priced a new switch at $160-220. On E-Bay, there are some used sets that include the switch, key, and gas cap...

This is dudewados daughter, he broke his key off in the ignition switch. Need to know which wires to bypass the ignition switch.

I ordered a new set of tires from SW Moto Tires on Wed. August 17. My previous 5-6 orders from them hit my front door in two days. When I got home Friday, no tires. No big deal. When I asked for a tracking number the next week, it indicated that they were delivered to my porch on the 19th...

After draining the oil, change the filter before starting to re-fill crankcase with oil. As a back-up plan, have another gallon of oil on hand. :glare:

Most non-smokers, and some smokers, won't really understand. I was-am seriously hooked on cigarettes, especially the last ten years or so. I was up to almost two packs a day. I have tried to quit lots of times; patches, gum, cold-turkey. I quit for a few days taking the Chantix once before...
