    What did you do to your FJR today?

    No problem. Ray had a good point in the other sandbox. Mentioned it could be the ignition switch which the recall work was the last thing done by the dealer so I'll check that first. :cautious:

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    In my sig 09-AE. OE battery lasted me 10 years also but wasn't able to charge or do anything to the bike while it was stored at my bil's so the tender gave me piece of mind. Garage is not heated and not sure how much access I'll have so again just for some piece of mind. :unsure:

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    Actually the other day and as I posted in the other sandbox, it's time to put her away for the winter before the weather turns to crap. So Seafoam and tank topped off. Smuggler removed and bags, trunk and pillion seat reinstalled. Rode her over to my son's garage. Usually stored at my brother in...

    FJR Forum Decal design

    As others have said. No top box and looks cartoonish, prefer an actual photo of a real FJR.

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    Actually yesterday. Took a little shakedown ride after my oil/filter change and my brake and clutch fluid flush. About 3 or so hours. Started getting hot and traffic was building, not much fun crawling along when the temperature's rising so I decided to cut it a bit short. Everything appeared to...

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    Flushed the brake fluid and the clutch fluid. Wasn't that bad. Not the black goo I was expecting. Toughest part was fiddling with the plastic. I also took off the bags, trunk and pillion seat and switched over to the Smuggler. Was buttoning everything up when the sky decided to open up. I just...

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    Engine oil and filter, final drive oil. Adjusted tire pressures. Next up brake and clutch fluid. Also while I was inspecting the bike I noticed a couple of cracked reflectors. Right side pannier which I knew about, just never got around to replacing and rear fender under the license plate which...

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    Actually yesterday but I decided to put her into her winter storage. A little premature but I haven't been riding as much and looks like the weather is going get lousy so got in a little last ride, about an hour and a half, put in my seafoam, topped off the tank, rode to my brother in law's...

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    Solved my fobo issue. Had to uninstall and reinstall the app then remove and reinstall the sensors. Now I can go back to checking my air pressure from my living room sofa.

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    Actually yesterday but I took it for the annual inspection sticker (a NY requirement) used to always have it done at shop owned by a guy I knew since high school but he recently passed away and now the shop is closed. Went to another place I knew about, they were out of stickers but recommended...

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    A little RTE with my brother in law (Harley Guy) about 180 miles. The food was so so. The ride was so good. Some good twisties some nice scenery. Great day although it got a little hotter than expected. :D

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    On this side of the pond the AE is the computer controlled clutch version but the suspension is non electric so no limitation there except for cost. Not riding two up anymore and not really pushing the envelope lately so my dilemma is what will give me the best bang for the buck, what do I...

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    Took a couple of short rides on my local loop to test my adjustments. Been trying to dial in my suspension settings after my Traxxion Fork Spring upgrade. Checked the sag, readjusted the preload, reset the rebound and compression damping. Feels pretty good but may not be the final setup. Gonna...

    10W-50 vs. 10W-40 Motor Oil

    My manual called for the 20/50 which is what I have always used except for an experiment one time with Rotella which the bike didn't like so immediately went back to the 20/50. While I did ride in the cold back awhile haven't lately but often in the heat and a lot of traffic. YMMV. ;)

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    Reset my suspension settings yesterday since the dealer apparently changed them making the ride somewhat harsh, even though they claimed they didn't touch them. I hate that a dealer that I once trusted now has a new service Manager that I obviously don't trust. Oh well. :rolleyes:

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    My bike came with Z6s as OE and I got over 11,000 miles and was basically happy with them. Then swapped them for Z8s which I thought were better. I had 8 or 9,000 miles on them when I swapped them not due to milage but rather because they timed out. For quite a while I haven't put on the miles I...

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    Okay today was pretty nice so pumped up the air pressure in my new tires to try it out. Went with 40 front 43 rear and took a little shakedown ride to check my newly upgraded fork springs and see if I needed to readjust my suspension settings. Tires liked the pressure and I'm liking my new...
