possibly ruined the wheel ?

If you purchased via a dealer i'd 'demand' in the nicest possible way that you would like a new tire and valve etc foc and deem them lucky you weren't killed.👍

well done you for being able to tell the tale 😀👍

the bad tyre and wobble may have done the steering head bearings a lot of no good?

Heated grips were common on 2008 but were an added extra. Cruise was on some models but not all 3rd Gen FJR's

No direct advice from me to solve your problem but there are some excellent suggestions so far and i'm watching the post with interest. I've experimented a little and found initially that it was my right hand on the throttle was giving me wrist ache possibly due to the fairly stiff return...

Welcome from UK🇬🇧

Happy New Year to all. I've been saving up to have a new front tyre fitted to my Gen2 2008. At £130 (169USD) fitted it wasn't too painful. The old Bridgestone Battlax was very old having been sat unused in Guernsey for many years. It had also been under inflated when ridden and so suffered from...

Hi torch, You're Dutch.... does that mean :- 1. Capable? or 2. Not keen on parting with your hard earned money? .... in England we think of the Scottish people of being like that. 😀👍

Manual only. My solution is to fit a small waterproof buzzer across each front indicator light. I simply cleaned back the wiring insulation on each side of the bulb and soldered on two wires from the buzzer. Important to wire in this way rather than breaking into one wire as the light will still...

I've just had the opportunity to have my suspension set-up. It's something many of us are guilty of neglecting. One front leg had no re-bound. The other had too much. The rear suspension had no rebound to speak of and now had just enough to absorb the UK's roads. It feels very different so...

I have similar on both Gen 1 and Gen2. The filler cap likes to be pushed down and key releases.

"Quiet" that 'sounds' good to me up front. My Bridgestone is sooo noisy on certain road surfaces that it becomes extremely unpleasant even with earplugs in !

Hi Pete, I did find that to put a little more pressure in the front tyre🇬🇧 41psi gave me better slow corner feel than 36psi. It is also said to benefit tyre wear. Good luck John👍

i've had similar problem on a new tyre🇬🇧. I put 60psi into it, ran it and pumped the brake hard many times, then reduced it back to running pressure and it sealed itself.

Dave Moss has many YouTube videos on suspension set-up. Very interesting...... 😀👍

Setting up suspension advice

TPS Throttle Possition Sensor Apologies for coming in late to this... and not yet read others advices. My TPS was replaced when I had my Gen1 and I suspect all is not right with my Gen2 in the throttle area. Hunting occurs e.g. when trying to keep a steady pace in 2nd gear at 20mph. It has...

Welcome Ian, they don't bite ... cheers John 😀👍🇬🇧
