    Clutch Soak & Canyon Cages

    The Clutch Plates need some TLC but, as I was having a quick <getting up the nerve> glance at the bike, it was clear that the Canyon Cage is likely in the way. Before I add the extra work of removing the Cage, I thought perhaps someone has removed the Clutch Cover Plate through those tight...

    Parts Wanted Sena SR10 needed for Radar

    Looking to get another SR10... I went to install mine, then realized I left it on the '04 when sold a few years ago, dang. In my defense, it was hardwired under the seat, so there's that, lol.... I know from experience the Escort will pair direct with the Sena 20, but Escort also requires that...

    Stuck on Rear ABS Bleed Procedure

    Doing a Front and Rear Brake Bleed.... Done many times but, this time, I let the rear Reservoir go to zero and air got in. Maybe deep, and refilled. I have the rear speed bleeder cracked open and under about 25psi vacuum and I have the rear pedal tied down to full brake. Nothing is moving out. I...

    No Audible for Escort Ix Radar with Garmin XT, Samsung Phone and Sena 20s Mash Up

    I'll attempt to describe the setup but I am electro-technically challenged.... I can't get the audible from the Ix into the Sena Headset. Perhaps synching (4) Bluetooth devices is too much? I can hear the Phone Audio and Phone Apps and XT. The Ix is paired with the Escort app on the phone, were...

    Elevated Idle, periodic

    Anyone have this happen?... One a 1hr run into the hills (for pie), I noticed that the engine braking was minimal. Pulled the clutch lever and noticed that the idle was at +2500. I eventually stopped to see what was amiss, gave it a few quick blips and it went back to a normal 1000. The 2013 is...

    Battery Stress Test

    Unfortunately, the FJR Battery died in the parking lot of my office... on a Friday afternoon. No chance to leave it until the morning, (when I could probably get it going). I was able to get a trickle charger to the bike (I live nearby) and it started red and went to green, so great. But one...

    Historic California: Cerro Gordo Mining Town

    Does anyone have experience taking an FJR up the dirt road to the historic ghost town of Cerro Gordo? East of Independence CA, off the 395 (Owens Valley). 36.53763457342098, -117.79533187506264   I see it's a rise of one mile over an eight mile run, up the mountainside... that's a pretty steep...

    Opinions Wanted on Retiring to Puget Sound

    Empty Nesters here considering a retirement move out of San Diego. With family now in Hawaii, Montana and BC, and the availability of non-stop flights to each from SeaTac, the PNW is looking good. We are originally from the Pacific North Wet except we don't have any history in the greater Puget...

    Corbin Seat and HeliBar

    I'm 6'2 and have had a very tuned '04 for many years/many miles. I moved to a '13 Gen 3. Where the Rocky Mayer Seat on the '04 was very neutral to my body, the Corbin on the '13 ... not so much. I think it might be that the '13 has the Helibar Accessory pushing my neutral position forward into...

    Zumo XT Review

    I think a few of you will be moving to the XT.... for the screen brightness alone. It's well built like the 595 and has a larger screen. Out of the Box, powered up on battery and took the unit into the direct sun, wearing a gray tee-shirt and viewed from all angles... it's as bright as the 595...

    High River Alberta to Kelowna

    If one was in a hurry, is it best to get from High River Alberta to Kelowna BC going (a) north thru Golden/Revelstoke or (b) south thru Cranbrook/Grand Forks? They're both twisty but I have no 1st hand knowledge about those routes.... I know, two seasons in BC: Winter and Road Repairs...

I'm also powering a Garmin 590 and Cell Phone.. All the farkles go thru a Fuzeblock. With everything on, what would you expect...

    Bluetooth EarBuds

    Any success with BT EarBuds that are smallish and synch OK with a Zumo 590 & 20S? Considering changing from cabled EarBuds and not needing to tangle with cables and the D-Strap. In-Helmet Speakers do not cancel enough outside noise for my taste.

    '13 high Frequency Vibration

    Hey, asking for help.... compared to my '04, the '13 has very noticeable high frequency vibration, thru the seat , thru the handgrips and into my head... vision is scattered, not at all clear. This is only on some freeways, but not others. I know... it's the road surface stupid... but I'm not...

    '13 stock Dogbone length?

    As you might figure, I am making some suspension/height adjustments or more accurately.... the Corbin seat is too low for me and I can't go far enough in a day on the stock seat. So I need to raise the Corbin ride height. Corbin fits only in at the low seat setting. Question: the dogbones on...
