    Clutch Soak & Canyon Cages

    All tools were set and ready to go for a clutch soak, and I thought <let's just have more more look for something obvious>... lol, found it... I never installed the brass clutch lever bushing when changed out to Pazzo's a few years ago. Quick ride today and all is back to normal.

    Clutch Soak & Canyon Cages

    The Clutch Plates need some TLC but, as I was having a quick <getting up the nerve> glance at the bike, it was clear that the Canyon Cage is likely in the way. Before I add the extra work of removing the Cage, I thought perhaps someone has removed the Clutch Cover Plate through those tight...

    I rode my new FJR home from the dealer today - Clunk/rattle!/lower fairing issue?

    Looking from under, where the L and R Fairings fronts come together at a point, you should see one or two screws. Those attach the bottoms of the fairings via a concealed molded plastic tab...

    Stuck on Rear ABS Bleed Procedure

    Found OEM Bleeders on Partshark, here in a few days. Had the same thoughts on the SB Check Valve vs Vacuum Air Pressure, likely not going to move the ball bearing. I'll try again soon and post results, thanks every one, Cheers!

    Stuck on Rear ABS Bleed Procedure

    So... I was going to change out the Speed Bleeders to factory, but no one has them. Sitting in Japan. I picked some generic 7mm/1.0 but have decided to stay with SB for now. Front wheel is done and I'm on the front right lower, linked to rear. It's cracked open 1/4 to 1/2 turn and on the...

    Stuck on Rear ABS Bleed Procedure

    Thanks, yes, the SB are ...meh... They are new to me, seemed like a good shortcut but perhaps too finicky for me. I'll do the front link, then the rear and keep an eye on the REAR resvr. Duh.

    Stuck on Rear ABS Bleed Procedure

    Most helpful, thanks.... is the linked front-rear fed from the Handlebar Resvr or the Rear Resvr?

    Stuck on Rear ABS Bleed Procedure

    Doing a Front and Rear Brake Bleed.... Done many times but, this time, I let the rear Reservoir go to zero and air got in. Maybe deep, and refilled. I have the rear speed bleeder cracked open and under about 25psi vacuum and I have the rear pedal tied down to full brake. Nothing is moving out. I...

    No Audible for Escort Ix Radar with Garmin XT, Samsung Phone and Sena 20s Mash Up

    I'll attempt to describe the setup but I am electro-technically challenged.... I can't get the audible from the Ix into the Sena Headset. Perhaps synching (4) Bluetooth devices is too much? I can hear the Phone Audio and Phone Apps and XT. The Ix is paired with the Escort app on the phone, were...

    Battery Stress Test

    It was a series of unfortunate evets... I thought about a running jump start but it was too crowded, blah, blah. Link to a portable Lithium?

    Battery Stress Test

    Unfortunately, the FJR Battery died in the parking lot of my office... on a Friday afternoon. No chance to leave it until the morning, (when I could probably get it going). I was able to get a trickle charger to the bike (I live nearby) and it started red and went to green, so great. But one...

    Corbin Seat and HeliBar

    I'm 6'2 and have had a very tuned '04 for many years/many miles. I moved to a '13 Gen 3. Where the Rocky Mayer Seat on the '04 was very neutral to my body, the Corbin on the '13 ... not so much. I think it might be that the '13 has the Helibar Accessory pushing my neutral position forward into...

    Gen III Stator Loading/ Voltage Draw

    Exactly... those early morning runs thru the mountains on your way to somewhere... like to Scooters for a Hug..

    Gen III Stator Loading/ Voltage Draw

    Whoaa there big fella! ... just anticipating that grips and gloves might be warranted on some super-duper chilly morning lift-off.. you know, like in the 50's..yee-haa..

    Gen III Stator Loading/ Voltage Draw

    I had a Datel on the '04,  and I always liked to see the Volts on the fly... on order for this '13. Thanks

    Gen III Stator Loading/ Voltage Draw

    Perhaps someone has experience with this....can a Gen III Stator handle at the same time the Heated Grips plus Heated Gear (Gloves & Jacket) and a Heated Corbin Saddle? I'm also powering a Garmin 590 and Cell Phone.. All the farkles go thru a Fuzeblock. With everything on, what would you expect...

    '13 high Frequency Vibration

    At +85mph there is sustained, even vibration all the way into my teeth, yuk... clutch in... zero. Thanks RossKean, so simple. It's likely all coming from engine mounts, drivetrain or a TBS. BigJohn, I will loosen and re-torque as suggested. I have come across a few finger tight bolts since...
