    Check your SPOT bill

    If you are like me and don't pay close attention to your automated payments from SPOT, you might want to check it. I checked my account, found 2 months ago I had a $52 credit. How do you have a $52 credit when it's automated, I'm not sure. Then I notice last month my bill went to $32 a month...

    Sena 10U for Shoei GT-Air - 4 months old

    I have a Sena 10U for the GT-Air helmet, which is integrated into the helmet, for sale. I originally bought the unit in the spring of last year, but had some issues with it connecting properly and Sena sent me a complete, brand new, still in the box replacement in April. I installed it and have...

    2013 Touch Up Paint?

    Has anyone found any touchup paint that is remotely close to a US 2013? Last year I bought the waterborne touchup paint kit and it wasn’t even remotely close. Way too dark. After picking up a rock ding in my saddlebag, I decided to try Colorite, even though it has an asterisk next to that paint...

    Front wheel collar spacing?

    I was looking at my bike and noticed that the spacer, or what they call the collar that's on the left side if you are looking at the front wheel, has a gap in it. The bearing is on it, but the shoulder on the collar isn't up against the oil seal. Should it be? Seems like it should be. Right now...

    Any sightings of 2017's in dealers yet?

    Anyone seeing the 2017 FJR's in the dealers? I see 2017's of other brands in dealers now, but haven't seen any FJR sightings. Any word on when they'll be hitting the dealers? I've seen a number of 2017's reviewed in magazines, but haven't seen anything else on the '17 since it was announced. I...

    Summer Jacket Conversation

    I got more Revzilla gift cards than anyone should for Christmas and took a trip to their store. I left with a pair of nice boots, which was the one thing I really wanted to get. While there, I kept walking by the jacket section and I tried on one Olympia jacket and put it back and that was that...

    2013 in Oklahoma for $6,950, 21,000 miles. Ebay

    Not mine, but thought it was a crazy deal. In all the documentation, it says 2013, except one spot, it says 08, so maybe someone listed it wrong, but for $6,950, it would be worth asking them to confirm...

    Pairing Sena Issues

    I went riding with some people today, and 3 of them had Sena 10R's I think. They were all paired up and I pushed intercom pairing on my 10u and it wouldn't join them, I suppose because no one was pairing. I had them all go into pairing again (they say they are pressing the minus button, I...

    Corbin Front Seat - 2nd or 3rd Generation

    I bought this used, put it on my 2013, rode it for a couple hundred miles on a day trip and it did fine. Some people bash Corbin for being hard seats, and I will say that it is a hard seat, but for me, I found it to be much more comfortable than the stock seat. Your mileage (and butt) may vary...

    Clutch not working after soak

    I need some help! I did a clutch soak on 2013 model, put it back together and the handle pulls fine, feels like it always has, but the clutch doesn't work. With the cover off, you can see the pressure plate pull in and all looks normal. Button it all up and start it on the center stand and it...

    Is there a place you can pull the RPM's from, electronically? Gen 3?

    Is there a way to tap into anything that would allow me to read the RPM's? I have a project I'm tinkering with, and it will record some data, but I want to marry that data with the RPM's, electronically so I can take readings of various things (my project) and at the same time, take a snapshot...

    What is wrong with people?

    I know, that's a big topic :) I saw the news this morning that the annual 9/11 ride that's taking place today will cease to exist after this ride. https://americas911ride.org Apparently it's "too much trouble" for the small towns that they ride through and the politicians have asked them to...

    Wow, that was close!

    Was heading home last night in my truck, came to a major intersection, I had the green light. Cars coming from the right were stopped, the far lane was open. I see a sport bike coming up faster than he should be. I immediately cover the brake as I'm just too the line entering the intersection...

    Learning to turn properly

    As someone who hasn't ridden in decades and being a new FJR rider, I did take the Motorcycle Safety Class and it was excellent. However, I spend more time than I should (perhaps) trying to dissect my riding to try and learn from my mistakes and become a better rider. I've got the straight line...

    Sumpter, SC going North into NC recommendations?

    I'll be in Sumpter, SC tomorrow, heading north after that. I don't have enough time to head Northeast and do the Dragon, but will be with my buddy who's getting a Traxxion suspension on his Wing in Sumpter. Any scenic routes out of Sumpter, into NC and heading into VA? I know it's lots of...

    Sena Handlebar Remote Issues

    Anyone else having issues with the Sena Handlebar remote? I have a 10U integrated into my helmet, and the helmet and remote are fully charged, yet I'll be riding and get the "remote disconnected" message in my ear. If you wait a couple seconds and touch the remote, it will establish the...

    FJR, faster than Eagle S%$@

    I took a nice ride this morning, down to Jamestown, VA, loaded the bike onto the Ferry, crossed the James River, and then started riding back. At one point I was crossing back over the river on a bridge, a 2 lane drawbridge. As I'm riding along (no traffic hazards), I'm noticing a few birds...

    Problem installing 1" risers on 2013

    I'm looking for help installing a set of 1" risers I bought (just the 2 blocks, not the bridge version). I thought it would be simple, just remove the handlebars, replace the bolts with longer ones, and button it back up and take the test ride. However, it says I need to remove the black plate...

    Sena 10U Communication- Basic questions

    I've been searching, reading, and researching the Sena 10U for about a week now and not having ever used a communication system or seen one, there are some things I don't understand that are very basic and I'm hoping I can get some help with. I've read through the manual but it's more like a...
