Gents: Had the 09er out for a short ride today, raised the W/S as it is a bit "chilly" here in SoCal . . . went to the gas station, shut it off. Gassed up, got back on the bike, WTF the screen is still up?? Rode it around a bit, the switch seems to only raise the screen, but not lower it...

Folks: Been struggling for the last while trying to find joy with my 09er .. . for a number of reasons . . . thanks to @BanjoBoy I got a PCFC installed and that has smoothened the "glitchy" EFI mapping to a large extent, but I think the torque hit while accelerating is "heavy" and rough for...

Winter of my discontent on the Gen2 09er has arrived in force as of a two hour ride last Saturday . . . still have yet to fully "diagnose" the issues, as there are more than one . . . . Bar position is one problem, the PO installed the Heli-bar Tour Performance adapter, which seemingly brings...

For what might be the second time in the roughly three years of ownership I had a significant occurrence of what I call the "two-up flop" on the FJR, referring to low speed handling while trying to make turns or u-turns with a passenger, the FJR seems to want to over-flop rather quickly in...

Just popped over 20K yesterday on the 09er; on previous bikes I've tried for 20K on the fork oil, so a few weeks back I read through some posts here on the topic--the owners manual doesn't seem to list suggested miles for fork maintenance? I do about 60/40 two-up, as higher mile trips are often...

I've read through a number of posts and threads on the G2 throttle tamer, but searching here and google didn't seem to find anything on the "competition" option from G2. After riding the 09 for awhile I have grown used to the off/on lean bog and the problems of that in the turns, for which I'm...
