​Published in 2002 but I used to service my 2004 FJR1300. $12.50 plus shipping to your mailbox.

Roadhammer Were you able to resolve the problem? Please let me konw what the problems was and how you fixed it because my 04 has the same problem. thanks

I think the human body, with 200 bones and 600+ muscles, was designed by the good Lord to move so on my 58th birthday (080808) I decided to put myself to a test: ride my bicycle 58 miles, swim 5,800 yards and walk/jog 5.8 miles. Before I share with you whether I accomplished those events in...

FWIW. on July 03, I completed a 6,207 mile trip in 14 days on my '04 and my overall mileage was 45 mpg. Now here are the extremes: 57 mpg on a 160 mile stretch on I-80 with a 45 mph tail wind and cruising at 85 mph, 38 mpg on long stretches on the PCH where my speed registered anywhere from...

You bad boy---I would never/ever be guilty of such a shenanigan !! Nuttin' like mixing apples with bananas but the impromptu 'leaving them behind' may be less obvious if they were v-rods.

About four years ago I replaced the stock saddle of my '04 FJR with a Corbin and fabricated my own backrest. The seat is fairly hard but I did not require a lot of miles to get used to it. Now I prefer a hard seat because it suits my riding style. To give you an indication how compatible the...

Thanks for the helpful (and somewhat helpful replies) for the brake light problem has been solved!! DailyCommuter's suggestion of turning the bulb 180 degrees corrected the problem so he gets the Edocar brownie points for the day. I have heard that CA highway patrol are more apt to cite...

I am currently on a roadtrip and it was necessary to replace the left and right tail lights on my '04 FJR within 2 days of each other. However, the right tail light remains much brighter than the left: the brake light remains on all the time so it appears the brake light switch is not turned...

I saw a mint '04 with only 2,200+ miles on the odometer on the PCH a few days ago and the VIN # as #1....I do not recall the price but I can give you the following info: 310-539-3366. I hope you won't hang-up when they answer the phone with California Harley - Davidson/Buell. Let me explain...

My Joe Rocket Sahara Vest was the last item I packed for this adventure. It came in very handy when we encountered hot riding conditions but like you mentioned it is good for about 45 minutes and perhaps even shorter when you are in 100F+ temperatures. Because we are in a group it is a bit...

I am currently on a 6,200 16-day mile trip with four of my good friends and yesterday(22nd) we rode into LV yesterday and it was 106F. It took us close to 30 minutes in stop-and-go downtown traffic before we got to find our hotel. I wear All The Gear All The Time and if it were not for...

I purchased my 2004 FJR from Reno's and the purchase went very smooth. The dealership is only 10 minutes south of my location and I purchased from them for that primary reason. They have also done the service work that I am not able to do myself and I am been satisified with their work.

It was necessry for me to see it twice because I wanted to be sure I absorbed to the fullest the principles he proposed. His message will make lessen my work-day load much easier to bear....attitude makes all the dfference.

I have been invited to go along with my brother in law on a 6500 mile 3 week road trip to celebrate his 50th birthday in June '08. I have only used Yamalube oil for regular 3,500 mile oil changes and would like to know how I should handle the oil situation on the extended trip? Curently there...

In three years of ownership on my '04 there have been a three occasions where I attribute making the right decision quickly and the ABS brakes to getting out of a dire predicament! Two of the three situations involved wet pavement and the third involved taking an exit ramp that veered off at...

Welcome to the board Larry. Your write up on the FJR reminds me of my first few weeks of FJR ownership: pure fun and excitement!! However, after three years and (only) 19K miles, the novelty of riding the FJR has not worn off. I can actually say we've meshed very well during that time so the...

The FJR1300 service manual does not state when the fork oil has to be replaced. I am the original owner of a '04 with 18K+ miles and would like to know when it should be replaced. If you know of link that lists service intervals please send it.

Hey guys I know this is after the fact but the only gas station I found off 69 highway was at the 199st exit and the gas station was just a block east of the junction. Was this the rendesvous point? I could not find a gas station at the Spring Hill/Bucyrus exit. Anyway a friend and made our...

If I remember correctly the Boss Hog is built in the greater Kansas City, MO area and I believe it was started by former and/or retired aviation engineers. My recall is not as good as it used to be about those details but I do specifically remember reading in the KC paper last year about a man...

I purchased a mini foot pump from JC Whitney earlier this past summer. It is used to inflate my bicycle tires (it has attachments for presta and schraeder valves) , two wheeler, car and motorcycle tires. It is compact and easy to use: to a point. I had to inflate my car's front tires this...
