    Interesting starting behavior

    I've noticed some behavior where I press the starter button and get nothing but a click. I can do this a couple of times and then the starter gets going and the bike cranks just fine. Initially I thought this was the battery as it was pretty old. So I replaced it and have noticed the same...

    Air conditioned helmet?

    Interesting idea. I've played around with some piezo-electric cooling projects as a hobby, but this seems pretty neat. If only it came in a modular. https://feherhelmets.com/collections/helmets/products/ach-1-gun-metal

    Echo in Sena 20s

    My wife frequently reports that she gets severe echo when talking to me during phone calls on the 20s. This hasn't always been the case, but I can't track it to anything obvious. To me, callers sound just fine. But she (and others) gets echo of the conversation on their end). My setup is: 20s in...

    New smart helmet

    Has anybody seen this? At the price point it certainly seems too good to be true, but I might be tempted to get one just to see it. https://www.rejoicebuy.com/product-p731930.html

    LED Brake Lights on a Gen II (Some questions)

    So I have the LED bulbs and, as expected, they need resistors to not interfere with the ABS. I picked up some harnesses that add some resistors inline with the existing 1157 socket.

    Quin - A Smarter Helmet?

    I saw this helmet mentioned on another site that I frequent. It does look interesting. No real mention of wearability and noise level though. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/quindesign/quin-helmets-smart-about-safety

    Spark Plug Boot question

    I've been experiencing a rough idle once the bike is warm for a while and I'm still trying to diagnose it. I've read about people trimming their plug wires slightly to get a better connection. Problem is, the spark plug boots on my 2008 seem to be one piece. I haven't tried to force anything...

    Rough idle and ECU codes 11 & 12

    I've done quite a bit of forum searching already, but haven't found a definitive answer yet. A little over a month ago, my bike (2008) developed a rough idle once warmed up. I've run Sea Foam, and injector cleaner through it, changed to premium gas and non-ethanol gas, changed the oil (because...

    Windshield mod

    This is something I've been curious about, so I decided to take the plunge. I've been trying to find that sweet spot of quiet and airflow in hot weather. A while back I spoke with a gold Wind rider who had high praises for his windshield vent. I had a Yamaha Touring screen laying around unused...

    Windshield vents (ala Goldwing)

    Has anyone experimented with installing a windshield vent on their FJR? I'm wondering how one would work regarding reducing turbulence and increasing airflow behind a taller screen. A Goldwing style vent would have the advantage of being able to close as well.
