    Hosed!

    Noticed a couple of my Gen II's radiator hoses were weeping pretty heavily (and not because it was sad.) I thought I'd cheat Murphy and change 'em out. After placing the order, I receive an email explaining that the hoses are on back-order with MamaYama. I've spent the better part of yesterday...

    LindaT TAT Cover & RallyBook

    I posted this up in the Group Buy area and realized that not everyone interested in it is a forum member so, I've moved it here. If you can't see any images below, you can view them here. I took part in Joe2Lmaker's group buy for the Tag Along Tank. It's been a great replacement to my old...

    New addition to the stable

    Sighting - Henderson NV

    Silver FJR1300 travelling southbound on Warm Springs between Green Valley Pkwy and Stephanie. Who were you masked man? (I assume your steed's name is "Silver"?) I was waiting for the light at Valle Verde when you ambled by. I'm the guy on the beat-to-sh!t Black Cherry FJR that...

    How to TurboSPANK

    TurboDave had the misfortune wisdom to call me with his daily SitReps. I'll do the best reporting I can. Where ever I'm sketchy on facts, I'll make up some good lies. ;) Moved from original thread here... Got a call from TurboDave Sunday morning. He's doing fine and decided to do the...

    2007 Won't stay in 4th gear

    '07 FJR1300A with 31K on the clock and I have YES on it. The symptoms began as rare missed shifts from 3rd to 4th (let the clutch out before gear was fully engaged and it made a "gear gnashing" noise.) When that happened, I would pull the clutch in and POSITIVELY shift before letting the clutch...

    2007 Bogging, Lugging or just plain Bugging

    For the Gamers

    I'm not a gamer :headsetsmiley: so this may be old news for the hardcore in the crowd. A friend of mine sent me a video describing the TrackIR. It's device that tracks your head movements and translates them into movements in the game. For instance, while in a flight simulation, instead of...

    Post water crossing maintenance

    Yesterday, I came across a section of road that had been flooded . There were a number of vehicles/people on each side of the water. The water was moving rather quickly and from what I could tell, was only about 8-10 inches deep. I walked out into the water a few feet and could tell the road...
