How many people here can solve problems easily? I was playing around with a new charger I got. I wanted to charge a battery that came from my wife's mini sand rail that was drained for a couple weeks. The 2 newer battery chargers will sense a good battery or one that supposedly can't be...

I like many, have been stuck in the house because of snow, and cold. So what is my solution. Camp out on Guanella Pass tonight, in freezing weather and then attempt to cross this high mountain pass to George Town, about 24 miles to get lunch and ride back. I can feel my sanity returning, or...

I had a good laugh last night watching the idiots on the news. Grand Junction Breaking news! The reporter said they have a video off strange lights in the sky around us. UFO's were videoed to the south and it appeared 3 flying craft were following each other in a tight formation. (Yea about...

I was looking at Racetech and their spring rate calculator for the 06 FJR, for my weight as one up rider (240lbs) I would need to replace the front fork springs to a 1.2kg rate spring. The rears just by swinging the lever to hard will be close. I was wondering why this bike felt too soft. Now...

Seen a bunch of FJRs on highway 50 between Montrose and Cimarron. Most notable were the 3 together Blue,Cherry, and Silver heading east. To bad I was on my cruiser heading west, it needed the cobwebs knocked out. Great day for riding the Rockies.!! Bob

I know there are some dirt riders here. Has anyone ridden the trail on the San Rafael Swell called "The 5 Miles of hell"? There are a couple of videos on You Tube. I am planning a ride it in October with my sons on our YZs. I still not sure if it will be a day ride or an overnighter. I have...

Has anyone developed a banging (clunking)noise on the front end of the 06 or 07 FJR? Back when I put on the Storms I replaced the head steering bearings with tapered bearings. I torqued them to around 45 ft lbs. This is not the problem, I just rechecked them yesterday. It seems the noise is...

Does anyone here have a problem focusing on the red, orange back light of the speedo and tachometer at night? I can see the liquid crystal display right next to them just fine. I know what the problem is, the wave length of the red color. Is there any source to change the back light, or gauge...

I am starting this thread to talk about the Shinko 009 sport touring tire and to get some collective experience from the users. I did a short 60 mile loop from my house, 70% twisties, the tires had no surprises. Dry pavement, handled well. Bob

Here's one I have never seen before. I was only given 5 ft of road in a near head on in my neighbor hood, by an idiot, turning on a left hand corner. In my lane obviously, he was looking in his rear view mirror while kissing his Labrador retriever. I know where he lives and will pay the moron...

The day starts out great. Woke up and asked the wife if she wants to have lunch in Lake City. So we took a little day ride from Grand Junction to Lake City, Colorado, about 170 miles one way. Great roads and views etc. I wasn't really pushing it just enjoying the bike. I been here before, on...

I am trying to find out what to expect in a panic brake and swerve maneuver on the FJR from a speed of around 80 mph? Although I loathe BMW corp, they did get the sequential ABS right. I had practiced many times this type of maneuver with the Beemer, and when I had to use it, I knew what to...
