    Valve check/Valve adjustment in Dallas-Ft. Worth

    Having a hard time finding a tech that has actually done a valve adjustment or valve check on an FJR in the Dallas area. The tech that did my last one quit wrenching and is now in the parts department. I found another guy in Plano that had done quite a few and he quit and went God knows where...

    Rear tire leak

    I have a leak in my rear tire. After very close inspection by my and a tech at a dealership neither of us could find anything in the tread. We both used soapy water all over the tire and no bubbles. I brought it home and submerged it in the sink up over the rim with 28 lbs of pressure and then...

    FJR Age Limit

    I may be a little late to the party, but has anyone else had dealers that won't work on a bike that is over 10 years old? 15 years old? My old Vmax is a 1995 and my dealer said they won't touch it now. I have a 2012 FJR that is 10 years old now and that is their limit. They will do minor service...

    The old switcheroo. 2013 to 2016

    I'm getting ready to upgrade from my 2012 FJR1300a to a 2016 FJR1300a. I am pretty sure some of my accessories will transfer to a Gen 3, but don't know about some of the rest. Hoping you guys that have already done this can help a little. Here are a few concerns. Front and rear seat...

    Cee Baily Out of the bike buisness

    I just saw on another forum that Cee Baily quit making motorcycle accessories. I was looking at a Gen3 FJR and just wondering about a windshield for it. Very disappointed that that is true. I've ordered three from them over the years and thought they were about as good as it gets. Very good...

    No More Crush Washers?

    Bought a Low mileage 2012 recently and decided it was time to get the engine and rear end oil changed. When I drained the engine oil I noticed that it had an aluminum washer instead of a crush washer. It was the same for the two bolts on the rear end. Drain bolt had the same washer and so did...

    Bleed valve nipple caps

    I guess you don't really need them, but I guess I'm a bit anal about keeping any kind of dirt or splooge out of the bleed valves on the brake calipers. I lost one and want to replace it and get some spares. I've been googling the hell out of it and almost everything made to sell is in the UK...

    After riding a FJR for almost six years, I've finally come to the point where I am going to need a backrest and decent size luggage rack for the 08 I'm currently riding.

    TBS question on 08

    I noticed this at the first sync around the 600 mile mark. Didn't think much of it till now. What got all this started this time was my 08 not idling up like it is supposed to at cold start up. It idles up to about 1,400 rpm when cold and makes a clunking noise occasionally till the first bar...

    Spark plug chang on Gen II

    All right, Dammit. I'm changing my plugs on my 08. I'm using the same socket I used to change the plugs on my 04 FJR several times. The socket won't fit down the hole all the way to get to the plug. When you look down the hole you can see where it necks down slightly. Why would they change that...

    PRII Problems

    I put on a new set of PRII's before I left on a 3,000 mile trip. They were good till I got to around the 1,200 mile mark. That's when I noticed some vibration around 80 mph. I backed off and then ran it up to 90 and looked down the forks and saw them vibrating back and forth pretty bad. I kept...
