so, if you ever have a bird stuck in your open garage that is not capable of flying out of a 7ft by 18 ft opening, and instead is intent on bashing itself into the inside of the garage's peak ad nauseum, and you decide you have had enough and take it out with a BB/pellet rifle before it craps...

I have searched through and read about others with this YCCS issue where in first gear the bike will jerk forward, then seem to be out of gear, then jerk forward again, etc... when starting out in first gear when the bike is cold (once warmed up mine seems fine). Looks like others solved(?) the...

Well, this forum once again helped me, as it always does. I upgraded my 2005 FJR for a 2009 FJR last weekend, and within 5 miles knew that I had one from the factory with the loose steering head nut; every bump on the road I could feel that it was a bit loose. When I felt it, I remembered...

I finally got my bike into a small local shop for the 26k valve check. I had a little over 31k on the bike, and was noticing a lot of valve train noise. He suspected the cam chain tensioner, and said it was pretty common at 30k to need a new one. One day in the shop, and the new cam chain...

After painfully riding into the sun again, I was searching for a decent visor. B) Has anyone tried this product - Super-Visor? Like it? Don't like it? Thanks

Hi all, I have it - the dreaded tick. Have been reading all about it on this forum and was hoping I'd never be asking this question. I am in CT and would like to know if anyone has had the repair done and been happy with the shop/dealer who did it. I am basically willing to travel a few...
