Really hard to guess from a picture that isn't of the actual oil source. It's going to require inspection, looking for obvious sources of the leak, wiping off oil, etc. I agree that it's more likely an obvious thing like a loose oil filter, plug, or cap and would start there.

Other than valve checks and rebuilding suspensions, I do all my on work on the FJR. And that's one of the big reasons I first started on the forum--the body of knowledge and tips to do those things. So, three hours and 17 hours seems crazy to me these days...I'd do it myself.

Do you know the size of the wire on that circuit is sufficient for 10 amps? I don't think anybody here does for sure. While an extra 33% juice may not smoke-check the wires....I'd go find a 7.5 amp and put the same size fuse back in it personally. And it's been a while since I did the...

Assuming starter spins freely all the times you press it, fuel been in the tank for a while? Pretty warm since the last time you fueled up? It could be the switch from winter fuel to summer formulation that isn't as volatile. I know AZ is one of the states that does this.

Partially true and talked about many times before including here that I found using search.

Glue. Typo.

If first, I agree. Should have been at 600 miles. But the glittery final drive oil is very likely because the factory uses oil that a lot of moly in it. And probably will have some the next time too. It will dissipate. Some shaving on the plug? Not abnormal in my experience the first time...

Wow! You NAILED IT! Good for you. You win FJRForum.com this week. I've had three flats over the years, zero tows because I carried string, blue, and a way to inflate. Only one of them required replacement when I was able to limp to a shop the next morning. However, I personally avoid the...

Thanks for the follow-up details and so glad it was something relatively small. I think that's a new one we haven't heard before on new bike setup. Usually it's thousands of miles later and the saddlebag locks disappearing because they didn't loctite the threads. ;) Enjoy your NEW bike. :)

Can you be more specific? Did they replace fasteners that were missing? Did replace broken lower fairing pieces? What exactly was wrong? And to confirm, that was the source of clunking and rattling?

I'm betting globes means instrument bulbs? If so, check my signature. I upgraded to LED bulbs many years ago and documented some details.

Admin note: this and the two previous posts were created as a new thread and should have have been a continuation of the existing thread on issues with a new bike. Merged and title tweaked to add the fairing issue. Yes, .those clam-shell halves should be touching each other and the recessed...

New 2024 FJR with no miles? Doesn't sound normal unless it's brake rotor float. I can't recall for sure, but besides for sure installing the front wheel, I think maybe they torque head bearings and put on the handlebars. Maybe setup was an issue. Also, double-check they loctited the...

I'd look through the various FJRF009.x threads pinned and linked here.

Not a spider specifically, but ignition switches on the 2003 sometimes also have issues.

Then you roll your dice and move your mice. Or, I'm guessing another person that's actually rebuilt forks or knows the fiddly bits of assemblies may come along....as I don't know this one.

Look at the part number of the two years on the fiche of OEM or Partzilla and compare. Same part number? Then it will work for sure.

1/32" = 0.031 inches. 1 cm = 0.394 inches. Did you mean 1 mm for the metric version? If so, I wouldn't worry in the slightest about it assuming you measured while on the centerstand and not the sidestand.

This is the one I was trying to remember versus the spider in Gen 2s. Agree it's possible. https://www.fjrforum.com/threads/ignition-siwtch-failures.108887/

And if the post I made gives you a sinking feeling it might the same....send me a PM....I'll let you know who the other forum member is. I'm gonna link him over here to look and thinks I'm nuts....or right on. ;)
