As some of you know, I have been diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease and I’ve come to the reality that it’s just not smart to ride motorcycle anymore. Especially a big bike like the FJR. I’ll now cut to the small chase and to the bike. 2014A 3,475 miles, Canyon Cages front and back, Givi top...

Hi folks, I've been a member of this forum since the early days. Even going back to the first FJR Forum in 2004. Not so much in recent years. My riding time has dwindled, and two years ago I was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. Now after 20 years and three FJR's it is with heavy heart...

A few weeks ago took the plunge and traded my 06 in on a new 2014 FJR1300A. I had actually ordered the Canyon Cages before I got the bike. Unfortunately they were on back order for quite some time. Today, they finally arrived. Although I think a few pictures would have been helpful in the...

I looked, but could not find the specific answer. I have the RG Sliders on my 06 and was wondering if they would fit on the 2014 which I hope to pull the trigger on in a month or two. It would be nice to be able to just transfer these over instead of having to spring for a new set. Thanks guys

Before I get yelled at....I did try to search this question out, but to no avail. I'm finally thinking of spending the bucks and buying a new Sagent seat for my 06 FJR. Then.....I started reading about the 2013 and have thought about the possible aquisition of one of these sweet new rides. So...

O.K. I did the search on the Slime air compressor and didn't see the answer to this question. I just got the Slime Compressor for a trip I'm going to take. I happened to notice that it says NOT to run the motor while running the unit. Is this true or some kind of CYA jargon? I had a dead...

Anybody else had any trouble trying to buy something on there? Tried to order an oem air filter. It doesn't allow me to checkout or register as new customer. Just keeps me in a non-productive loop. After trying numerous times it still shows that I have nothing in my cart, yet shows that I...

O.K. I had installed the new grounding harness two weeks ago, cleaned and lubed spiders S4, S6 and the one back left behind the seat. Everything ran fine. Installed new headlights last week, everything was fine. Was reading more on the spider issue last night and realized that I had not...

I just got a new set of Pr2's and I now see there is a "B" version of the rear tire. This is supposed to be for two up or loaded touring (or both). I have a set of older Pilot Roads on now without a problem two up and touring with gear (two up). What's the deal with this "B" thing? Anybody...

Yep, that's the deal. Had all of the tupperwear of the bike including the dash panels to install a spider grounding fix. Put everything back together and all was good. Took the bike out for a spin last night to make sure everything was working o.k., and low and behold regular beams...

I'm planning on buying a new Yuasa battery on-line. It is shipped with the acid (seperately). Is a Battery Tender Jr. capable of fully activating the charge in this battery? Thanks for the in-put.

I started on this forum a long time ago, but haven't n been around much lately. My work situation for the last couple of years hasn't allowed much time for much riding. So here's the deal..... I have a 06 FJRA, second set of tires, which are Michelin PR's, only have maybe 3500 miles on these...

I really did search this. Time for an oil change and thought I'd give the Yamalube Performance semi-syn 20w-50 a try. Got it home and noticed on the outside of the container in small letters..."Oil specially blended for v-twin engines. WTF. What's the dealio? This stuff isn't good for the...

Just came back fro a ride to central Ohio. I had thought while riding that the rear brake just didn't "feel" right. It seemed to be functioning though. On the way back to PA, I had applied the rear brake and it just felt mushy. When I stopped to take a look I found that when the pedal was...

yrt is supposed to be yet. Sorry, I couldn't change the topic title. As I had mentioned a while ago about the portable air pump plug in. The wire that I have hooked directly to my battery that I hook my battery tender (via a SAE two prong connector) to has a 7.5 amp fuse. The specifications...

I recently bought the Airman Sparrow air compressor. It has the cigarette lighter style plug-in. What is the absolute simplest method of hooking this thing up to my battery without blowing a fuse? I have a plug-in hooked up to my battery to hook my Battery Tender to. The mechanic at my Yami...

....and if so, what do you think of it? Looks good. Not a bad price at under 200 bones. Thoughts?

Just wanted to share for those in the market. The s.o. just got an 07 V6 RAV4. Very nice ride. The V6 in that baby has plenty of punch and it is a blast to drive. Excellent fit and finish. For those in the market for a practical small SUV that get's good gas milage, I would recommend taking...

My 06 FJR used to idle at roughly 1100. Now it is roughly 1000. I know that normal idle speed should be between 1000 and 1100. Now as we all know, I am no mechanical genius, but..... Why would it drop like that all on it's own? On a fuel injected bike, how do you adust the idle speed...
