There are a few threads in which this problem appears but I found it difficult to search I think because of the wording. The symptom is the bike will only start in neutral. Trying to start in any gear with the side stand up and clutch lever depressed does nothing. No click, no turnover, just...

If you think I am soliciting your opinion on whether I should use a battery tender of any kind or under any condition or if you think I am seeking your advice on what kind of battery I should have or when I should replace it, you have misread the thread title and should just hit the back button...

FREE RAM X-Grip, Kindle or larger tablet size, 1" ball. I used this to mount a Kindle for navigation back in the day but I'm on to higher-tech things. I will ship it to you in the lower 48 via USPS in one of their fixed-rate packages if I can find one that fits. They're cheap. Otherwise I'll...

I had the battery compartment (which was designed by sadistic midgets) opened to access the ABS diagnostic connector for the bi-annual clutch and brake bleed. I also ordered a new battery because I didn't know the history of the battery that came in the bike when I bought it and someone gave me...

Has any one used one of these NinWelly throttle locks? They're bar-end throttle locks. You can find them on Amazon or eBay but you can't find assembly instructions or reviews. I can't find an FJR ThrottleMeister and wondered if these would behave similarly.

I am looking for a Throttlemeister throttle lock for the FJR. Please let me know if you are willing to part with one, new or used. Edit: Installed a XiTomer throttle lock which works fine.

I have discovered a new condition under which the ABS light comes on and a buzzing like the ABS pump begins when the handlebars are pushed all the way to the right. I started at the front ABS sensor but it was clean and free of corrosion. I tried pushing and pulling on cables on the right side...

I reported a leaking remote compression reservoir for an Ohlins YA7070 shock in this thread. That was back in late November 2022. I took it to TBT Suspension in December where Travis thought originally that it was the crush washers on the banjo fitting at the reservoir end of the hose that were...

I just finished the book Across America by Motor-Cycle written by R.A.F. Captain C.K. Shepherd in 1922 about his 3-month journey in 1919 from New York to San Fransisco on a 4-cylinder Henderson. I think Shepherd was 24 years old at the time of his trip. The book is filled with fantastic...

I have an '08 with an Ohlins shock. I have had the bike parked in my garage for several days following a short ride. Two days ago my garage floor was dry. Yesterday there was a small wet patch maybe a foot in diameter directly under the rear brake caliper. It was on the wrong side to be final...

I bought a bag of 100, M3 x 5mm SS button head Torx security screws from the UK for servicing the side case lock mechanisms. I think it's stupid to have these inside a locked compartment. A couple of the heads were rounded on my 2008 so, instead, I replaced all of them with SS button head allens...

Let me know if you have a pair of passenger peg lowering brackets you're willing to part with.

I have a new-to-me 2008 FJR. I have recently been fighting a problem with handlebar wobble which I noticed when I briefly took my hands off the grips at 30mph to tighten my glove straps. I found this oscillation at almost any speed on almost any surface if I removed my hands from the grips. The...

I started a ride on Friday, May 13, which was a bad choice to begin with and things just got worse. I rode down the Pacific coast the first 3 days in the rain. I met a friend in Redway and continued south. He had a rear-tire blowout at the US-101 CA-1 junction just north of Leggett, fortunately...

I've been trying to transfer a custom route made on either Google Maps or Google My Maps to an Android phone using embedded map links and the "send to my phone" feature. Searching the innerweb I see discussions of this topic running over the last 12 years without Google ever doing anything about...

I first posted about my second total knee replacement in this thread: The six dollar man. I forgot to include a crucial part of that story. I went in early in the morning for surgery and wanted to write a message on my body for the surgeon. There is a big issue surrounding staph infections in...

I have a Yuasa GT14B-4 battery that I removed from my 2006. I am going on a long ride in August and I wanted a new battery as an insurance policy. It is in perfect working order and even sat in a shop for 4 months with no tender waiting for parts delivery held up by Covid lockdowns. It started...

I am seeing the rebate valid only for the non-GT version of these tires. https://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/l/2019-Bridgestone-Mar-Apr-Rebate-Info?il_medium=main-bridgestone-rebate&il_source=tires Maybe I'm missing something. I chatted with one of the sales guys and he gave me the above link.

...as opposed to the six million dollar man. I check in about 90 minutes from now to have what used to be a left knee (and is now a cumulus cloud of arthritis) refabricated into a high-tech, full-race joint. I expect to raise my top walking speed from 3.9 milli-mach to 5.2 milli-mach a couple of...

The 3rd Gen windscreen tuning is discussed in this thread. I strayed off topic in that thread and started asking questions about changing the windscreen tilt on Gen 2 FJRs. So I decided to start this one. In the Gen 3 thread, Harald indicated that he had done a simple modification. I had...
