    Makes sense to me. Thank you.

    Handle bar question about risers and bolts

    My pre owned 2016 FJR came with bar risers installed by the previous owner. The cover plates for the bars were fastened not with the small 2.5 mm OEM hex head bolts but with silicone adhesive. I got them off using Goo Gone to loosen the adhesive only to find out that the OEM adjustment bolt and...

    2016 headlamp adjuster knob set screw - help

    I was using a small JIS Philips head screw driver. It worked on one side but not the other, until I tapped the stem threads and widened the knob opening on the recalcitrant left side. I'm not sure of the root cause of the issue. I'll probably never know. Next time if there is a next time...

    2016 headlamp adjuster knob set screw - help

    I have no idea if the knobs had been off before I bought the 2016 bike in 2021 but I seriously doubt it.

    2016 headlamp adjuster knob set screw - help

    Success! I re-tapped the threads in the adjustment stem eliminating any latent cross threading. 3 mm, .50 thread pitch tap. I verified the thread pitch in the screw. I verified that the screw threaded into the tapped adjustment stem hole without the knob. I put the knob on thinking I was home...

    2016 headlamp adjuster knob set screw - help

    Thanks. In my case the knob has a semicircle shaft and is molded on the inside to fit just one way. The screw goes in but won't catch the threads on the adjustment post. On just one side.

    2016 headlamp adjuster knob set screw - help

    Dumb question. Does the thread pitch matter here? Or will any hex head M3 x 8mm screw work?

    2016 headlamp adjuster knob set screw - help

    I'll probably keep trying but I feel I've tried every orientation. Obviously I'm doing something wrong. Just can't figure it out. The angle of attack is difficult. Had no issue with right side knob or screw.

    2016 headlamp adjuster knob set screw - help

    Using JIS with correct head. I've tried every angle imaginable. What size hex head would I need? It is desirable to remove these knobs in order to remove/loosen the upper dash panel to eliminate the interference in battery replacement. Any advice is welcome.... I'm at a loss. Thanks for...

    2016 headlamp adjuster knob set screw - help

    For the life of me I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I managed to reattach the right side but the left side screw will not grab the thread in the adjustment post through the knob. It grabs the thread without the knob. Nothing acts like it's stripped. I'm stumped. This is the last step of a...

    New to me 2016

    I got a 2016 A model last year with 22k miles or so on the odo then. It's a wonderful ride. It "needs" fewer farkles than the FJRs of yestertime. You'll want a taller windscreen some day if you ride enough. This is probably my last bike but my fourth FJR. Best motorcycle ever sold IMHO...
