    Steering Head Roller Bearing - Upgrade or Boondoogle?

    2022 FJR Lean Angle Sensor

    Hi guys! And girls! Had a weird thing happen that might help you if it happens to you. I had left my key on a couple of weeks ago and ran down the battery. I slow charged it back to health overnight. The next day I started it up and the yellow engine light came on. Drove it around to see if it...
