    Tire Shop Recommendation, TN, KY, OH

    Justin (Justnick1) lives in Coolville OH on the south edge of SEO (30 min from Marietta) . He does alot of work on bikes for guys and has a pneumatic tire changer. I don't want to speak for him but drop shipping a tire to his place would be the most economical solution....

    Battery charging voltage

    A couple things to consider: -Depending on where you tapped into power, you could have some voltage drop from the OEM wires. It doesn't seem to be a huge issue with the FJR but on my Suzuki Cruiser, it was not uncommon to have almost 1V drop if you tapped into a low gauge OEM wire. -The all...

    Power to GIVI topbox

    I ran a 10" SAE charge plug from my fuse box and then connected a longer 3' section of wire with a SAE plug under the rear seat. Then I drilled a small hole in the bottom of the case to pass the bare wire through and "weatherproofed" the hole with hot glue. Inside of the case I have a 12V Cig...

    Stem Mount with plate NOT RAM ball.

    I took the handle/bolt off of the standard ram arm and used a stainless allen bolt. You could take it a step further and use a security torx bolt.

    FJR Mileage Milestones

    I don't know????I think there was someone last year with similar mileage and I recall they lived in a warmer climate that would facilitate a longer riding season than Michigan. I'd venture to guess first 5 is a safe bet.

    Is Cruise Control Consistent

    For 2013 owners...keep an eye on ebay for a 14 or 15 A ECU. I beleive you can set up an alert. I picked up a 14 ECU last year for $75. Once I found the ecu (next to the battery), it was a 2 minute job. It wasnt a big enough deal to spend $500 on a new ecu but for $75 I am quite happy.

    Tech Day XV

    Count me in. I'll plan to come down Friday. 500 miles short of 100K and my forks need some love. I would like to replace bushings, seals and oil. ***Ray*** I would greatly appreciate help in making sure I have all the parts I need

    Garmin 595 install question: Wiring harness

    Switched fuse block under the seat and wires coiled up in the tray like the guys above. I feel your pain though...Tonight I was wiring up a second Zumo mount and a radar detector on a new to me 09 FZ1. If you think it's tough to find space for things on the FJR, just imagine how bad it is on a...

    How many use cruise above 80 mph?

    I have owned my 13 for almost 3 years and logged about 91K with the 80mph cruise limit. Overall I did not miss higher limits. I kept rationalizing that it kept me in check. The were only a few times I really wished I had a higher limit...Out west in ND/SD/MO and riding locally with my buddy...
