My wife decided to stop riding so her bike is up for sale. Large Givi top case will hold two helmets (or a case of Sierra Nevada!), California Scientific windscreen, otherwise stock. Clear title. One owner, no accidents, two tiny scratches from a zero speed drop. Includes soft side case liners...

We have two stock windshields that were used a month or so while waiting for aftermarket shields. Box is 24 x 24 x 6, weighs about 10 lb and my ZIP is 95685 so you can calculate shipping cost. Make me an offer. Murray

My 2015 ES went in for service a week ago. Service called to say the heat shield should be replaced (damaged by another shop a while ago) and the fuel line connector also needed to be replaced. At that time, I was told 3 weeks to get parts from Japan and none could be found in the US! Today I'm...

Theresa just found that, as of June 1st, she is not covered by her health insurance if she is on a motorcycle! When she signed up a few months ago, the only restriction was motorcycle racing. Just like that, they change the rules! Theresa is 60 and retired so we are shopping on the "screw the...

There are some marks on the top of one of my ES forks. The marks only show when the bike is on the center stand, they are at the very top of the RH fork tube. Tried to post a photo but doesn't seem to work. Marks are narrow brown, look like scratches. They are very narrow, a mm or less each and...

Came back from a ride yesterday, got distracted and left the key on. Came back a couple of hours later to get something out of the top case and saw that key was on and everything was dead. Said things not worth repeating! Plugged in Battery Tender and left it on overnight. Now showing close to...

Theresa and I are planning a road trip this summer from home in California to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. First section is across northern Nevada and southern Idaho to Yellowstone. Then it looks like across Wyoming, through South Dakota angling north through Minnesota and Wisconsin to the...

Theresa has set her heart on riding in Nova Scotia but it's a long way from here to there. I recall that years ago you could put your bike on a train in say Calgary and ride with the bike until you got past Quebec. Is this still possible?

We live in Sutter Creek, about 50 miles east-south-east of Sacramento. We are unhappy, annoyed, frustrated, P'd off... by the service we've been getting on our 2015 FJR's. I would prefer not to service the bikes myself so am looking for recommendations for shops to service the bike, and for...

With just over 21k miles on my 2015 FJR1300ES, the right fork has developed a small leak. It is enough to form dust rings but there are no puddles under the bike; yet. The dealer said it's not a problem unless half the oil leaks out of the fork. Translation -- "will not be covered under...

Cruising along yesterday, went to set cruise, wouldn't set. Looked at panel; amber CC icon flashing. WTF! ABS icon also flashing! Pulled over a ways up the road, turned bike off. Turned it on and got a 090 code showing in the display panel. (Brake light switch) ABS on solid. Started engine...

Yes, I did a search, including NEPRT and the BIN as well as online and through the dealer but was unable to find the paint codes for the frame (looks to me like there are three different shades of silver depending where on the frame or engine) or for the wheels. Need some touch-up on the frame...

Both our bikes have recently had problems restarting when hot. Normally you just tap the button after going through the entire turn-on sequence and the engine fires up immediately. Typical failure scenario is -- stop for gas after an hour or two of spirited riding, fill the tanks, key on and...

A couple of days ago, the "Yamaha" labels on both our right side case bags fell off! Unfortunately they dropped in the dirt and what adhesive was left collected a lot of dirt. It happened overnight and there they were, lying on the ground! It wasn't that hot that day, only 96F. Will get them...

I notice that on both our bikes, there is a guard over the front part of the exhaust pipe on the right, but there is not one on the left. What's the logic here? I did a search and found that the 2016's are the same.

Yes, I did try searching but found everything except what I was looking for! On all of our BMW's, the rear tire would wear quicker than the front. This was the case with various Michelins, Z6's and Z8's. Typically with the Z6, the rear would last just less than 6 k and the front between 8 and 9...

Metzeler lists different specs for both the front and rear Z8's on the >2013 FJR1300A. (They don't list the ES versions at all but I think they would be the same.) For the front they list an (M) spec, and one without a designation. For the 180/55 rear they show a © and an (O) spec. I sent a...

Suspect this will up in NEPRT but here goes. I was asked "What's the horsepower of that bike?' and realized I didn't know and could not find it in the manual. Found that the older ones were rated at 145 but suspect the newer ones are up a bit on that. So, what is the horsepower (engine) of a...

Installing MotoLights on our bikes and just noticed that the A has standard forks and the ES inverted forks. Makes quite a difference on the installation. No, I don't think the shop swapped out old forks. Just surprised to see the difference on the same model year. Any ideas why this is? Yes, I...

With the pound "pounded" down, it's a good time to buy from Morgan. $86 for the Pro 4.
