Don't visit here much anymore, don't know if this has been discussed, but maybe it will help someone?. My 07 has 100k on it and a while back did a clutch soak for a dragging clutch, which didn't help. Recently, the clutch lever started binding, clutch dragging even more, so finally...

I have an 07 with 57k. The last few days, the engine cranks quickly for part of a second, then slows till it starts. It still starts quickly, but the sound has changed. 5w40 oil. It happens mostly when the engines warm. I decided to run tests, before I need a ride home. Battery...

I was surprised how long the FJR ran on reserve(66 miles) and wished I had done this much sooner. I think this has been discussed some, but might be helpful. During the last 30 years of LD riding, I have always tested when bikes might run out of gas, except the FJR. Previous bikes have only...

When I arrived at the race track Friday, found the parking lot where the Honda display tent usually is, empty!! Couldn't believe it. I later found Suzuki was missing!!! Yamaha had the usual full works with displays in the tent and demo rides. Kawasaki had a tent, but had all their...

Nice sunny day after two days of rain and cold. One of the spring pins in the carrier of my Zumo disappeared. Called Garmin and they will replace the mounting carrier for free. Having it sent to a friend near Anchorage. Also, my Audiovox cruise went crazy. Either it won't work or would...

I live about 100 miles N. of Miami on the east coast of FL and our local Yamaha-Suzuki dealer closed its doors this week. Today, several of us rode north about an hour to Palm Bay to the dealer "House of Power". Previously, they sold Yamaha, Suzuki, Kaw, Honda, and Triumph, but now have...

I am giving the FJR a short rest after returning from out west by putting some miles on the BMW. It ran well until I filled up with hi test(required with 11:1 compression or it talks to you). While filling it, I thought about someone saying not enough hi test is being pumped with high gas...

Three times lately, the red abs light and MIL amber light has come on for a short time. Once leaving a signal light, it was on for about 200 feet and the engine ran very poorly. It won't run without a crank sensor, so I could be walking soon!!! I am learning about pulling codes...

Has anyone added an oil pressure gauge or light to an FJR? I have, like alot of you, added a volt indicator. I love my FJR, but don't understand why it doesn't come with a voltage and oil pressure indicator. They are simple, inexpensive electrical circuits. My BMW's have both. All...

Received a call from my shaken riding friend last night. He is a well seasoned rider of 50 years, starting with dirt bikes as a small kid. He has done alot of touring around the U.S. We went to Alaska together and he went back again by himself above the arctic circle on a BMW PD. Sat...

I am an retire automotive instructor. During vacation time over my career, I have either turned wrenches and/or drove semi over the road to make extra $'s for toys and vacations. Just like riding motorcycle, I still like playing in traffic once in a while with the big rig for the hell of it...

I attended East Coast Timing(www.ecta-lsr.com) this weekend at Maxton, N.C. If you want to see how fast you can go in a mile, they have use of an old airforce runway thats 2 miles long. Use the first mile to get going and the last mile to get stopped. I just watched, so $5 to get in...
