Couldn't you get close to the same results by changing tire size? Just wondering, Dave

It gets frayed when you forget to tighten the screw and comes out. 150 miles into a trip down south It woke me up.:cry: Bike still ran but had to get off the highway and find a hardware store that had metric bolts. Duct tape worked temporarily until I found a store.

Auuuuuuuuuh, what type of oil did you put in. that would be the first place to look. Check the cirlce to see if it is energy conserving. Good luck, Dave

Needs some black paint on that. JMO, Dave

You can also remove the valve after you unplug it. Not needed anymore. Dave

After the engine warms up your bike should idle around 1K rpm. There is an adjustment screw on the right hand side kind of hidden away next to the lower part of the tank. I didn't read every freakin thread so maybe I missed you correcting this issue first off. Good luck, Dave

You can always compare part numbers between years of bikes on any OEM website for FJR parts. Dave

Easy job to swap out. Dave

Adjusting the clutch lever worked for me. Anyway you should change out your fluid each year. It's cheap money. Dave 

Not yet, I currently have 15K on the ODO. I most likely wont' replace it until I hit at least 25K miles. I did a total fork rebuild on the Gen2 at 68K. Springs and bushings also. It was a PIA and messy.

I went heavier on my Gen2 oil. Did a mixture of two types of oil. I am happy to report I did not crash and burn. Also It wasn't done until I hit 68K on the bike. Amazingly enough the old oil came out fairly clean. I atribute that to the superior Gen2 FJR. Good day, Dave

How many miles on the bike?

Purchase the below and your problems will be solved. I had a stumbling issue on the 08 and after adding the PC3 it went away. Good luck Dave...

If it wasn't there prior to your repair i suggest looking at it again. Dave

So what's the issue? Is the bike a nanosecond slower now in a quarter mile? Are you trying minimize the amount of electron loss so you can add one more set of auxiliary lights? Let's get right to the point. Thanks, Dave

Just ride, Dave

Just throwing out a guess here but what if there is an issue with the shock on that side. Tony got 200K out of his front bearings on his 08. My 08 is still parked in the garage with 98k on the original front bearings. Dave

I told you not to use jet fuel in it. Now you done it.

Well it's been 2 years now and the bike hasn't blown up yet. I would still ask the dealer to replace in hopes that he would. If not, find another dealer. Easy enough to do yourself if need be. Dave
