    Cardo Packtalk Bold - Testing in progress!

    I have been using the PackTalk for a few months now and think it is amazing. SO much better and easier to use than previous Cardo systems that I have had. The connection with my iPhone is perfect and getting a bunch of users "meshed" together is painless. Highly recommend!

    I know the right buyer is out there somewhere! Just dropped the price again, by $1,300! You may also bid on it on eBay. Great motorcycle; great price!

    VERY Good Deal on Metzelers... $156.94 for a set.

    I've used a set of Z6s on my '08 FJR and thought they were fine. I will be ordering a set of these for when my new '16's Bridgestones wear out.

    Garauld Accessory Catalog Showcase

    I ordered the hydration system from Gary and just used it for the first time on the Three Flags Classic ride, this year from Tombstone to Kimberly, BC (where I am as I type this), Installed easy and perfectly and works like a champ! I much prefer it to wearing something on my back. It is easy to...

    2016 ES check engine light

    The Check Engine Light came on a while back in my 2016 ES model. Based on what I had read here, I finally took it to the dealer -- MotoCity in Anthem, AZ, who are great folks! -- for a reset. "Hmmm...have you been under the tank?" they asked. Their codes showed the common kickstand error but...

    Wow, you are a heckuva Rider, TurboDave! Congrats on all the accomplishments and keep enjoying all of the bikes in your stable!

    2016 YZF-R 3

    I have a 2015 R3 in addition to my fourth FJR and find it a blast to ride...for shorter distances in nice weather. Cannot go wrong with this bike. Lots and lots of bang for the buck! (I'm 71.)

    What is your minimum size bike?

    My "other" bike is a Yamaha YZF-R3 (2015), 320cc. It is not for touring like the FJR but what a great machine it is! Light, great handling, plenty of power (once you're used to seeing 5-digit RPMs). 70 mpg ain't bad either.

    Coast to coast in 48 1/2 hours

    I, too, am thankful this thread got bumped since I had not seen it previously. I will merely add my kudos, Gary, for both a ride and a report very well done indeed! God bless you.

    Where do I find those body caps for when the luggage is off?

    I am probably stating what the OP already knows, but... You do realize they came standard with the bike when new? Have you searched through all of your bike "stuff" for them?

    2016 FJR1300A Check Engine Light On

    Thanks, Ionbeam! Yes, I am blessed to live in Cave Creek...at least in the winter.

    2016 FJR1300A Check Engine Light On

    Any of the rest of you find that cruise control does not work with the CEL on? My cruise stopped operating when the CEL appeared. Coincidence or tied in?

    2016 Is Official 6-spd, Slipper, LEDs, Analog Tach, Price

    I just did about 1500 miles on my 16ES, mostly in the mountains of Colorado and then returning to Phoenix. Man, I am blown away by the mileage I am getting! In my previous three FJRs I averaged about 46 mpg, but now I am getting 55 or even a touch higher. I thought maybe the average was being...

    You have nailed it, FJR Pilot! Your experience tracks mine exactly. I've owned an '05 (55,000 miles), '08 (83,000 miles), '13 (44,000 miles), and now this '16ES. All great but the latest is indeed the greatest!

    Check engine light on my new 2016 ES

    I, too, have joined the ranks of the 2016 ES CEL group. Will try to get the bike to a dealer tomorrow. I notice my cruise control is also inop. Anyone else have this? Fix one and get a twofer for free?

    Here's my new 2016 FJR1300ES https://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b203/FJRTom/2016%20FJR1300ES%201_zpsda5wryqx.jpg (How do I rotate the pic?!) This is the one that was mentioned being seen on the showroom floor in Anthem, Arizona, a little north of Phoenix. I went out there on Friday, May 28...
