Talk to someone who repairs automotive plastic panels. Plastic "welding" and a repaint. I wouldn't use superglue, but ABS cement might work OK. Fibreglas patch on the inside for strength (as you suggested) might be a good idea.

Installation error. These haven't been problematic for others. I did note that they say not suitable for large FOBO sensors. Assume you are not using large sensors. Also assume you have attached the sensor to the end and not the side arm...

You may be overthinking this. When I am doing maintenance on the front end, I place a car scissor jack under the header pipes with a piece of 2 x 4 to help distribute the weight and jack up the front (bike on centerstand). If I am taking the wheel off for new rubber, I'll lower it so the forks...

Avoid over tightening. You may damage the bearings and races but also steering becomes somewhat vague - bike won't want to hold a line and will need constant correction. Had this happen on a different bike I bought (used). I was regretting my purchase until I backed off the adjustment nut a...

If you simply do a Google search for the Honda part number in the thread I referenced, you will get a BUNCH of hits for vendors... (No need for any description) 43215-KZ4-J41

Just hope they work OK. Should be easier to remove than OEM. (I haven't tried them, but I remembered the thread...)

I remembered this thread from a while back. A source for a substitute pin that is cheaper. Note: I use a wee bit of antiseize on the threads and haven't had a problem in 14 years and 450,000 km... Thread 'Brake Pad Pins - Front Caliper Gen II & III'...

As mentioned above, some bikes seem to have issues and others do not. Theories abound - bad tires, improper inflation, incorrect bearing torque, "bad" factory bearings, original installation error, worn or Brinelled bearings, tweaked frame, topcase aerodynamics, passenger aerodynamics...

The usual issue with the canister is starting starting the bike when it has been sitting in the hot sun for a time. Fuel vapor saturates the charcoal and the engine runs like crap (extremely rich) for five minutes or so until the canister is purged by intake air being drawn through it. There...

All the same.

Rarely a problem on FJRs at just 51,000 miles, but I agree that it should be checked; especially if it hasn't been done before. On my '07, all of the intake valves were close to minimum clearance at the first check but I didn't have to make any adjustments until nearly 100,000 miles.

Yes, but usually generates a fault 14 code. Still doesn't hurt to check. https://www.fjrforum.com/threads/fault-code-14-gen-ii-solved.170314/ Not entirely although much improved over '06-'07. A PC might still help although it would be masking the root problem, not fixing it.

Snatchy throttle a common issue on early Gen II although it sounds like it is getting worse for yours. I think I would do the fuel injector clean before fuel pump although a pressure check of the fuel system could rule the pump out as a potential problem. Sometimes, setting the idle up to 1150...

Useful link, but not relevant for the Gen II bike in question.

I think he has a 2008, so not a useful item. No OBD port on a Gen II.

Looks like a tank vent or tank overflow. Can't really tell where it comes from. No chance that oil is coming from that hose. The sponge on the left often gets saturated when oil changes are done if the mechanic isn't careful. One possibility is that the oil filter wasn't tightened properly or...

Sure its not fuel?

Shouldn't take that much - not even close. If you are reasonably mechanically competent, you can do it all yourself. Valve check can take some time, especially if adjustments are required. Get someone to help.

I have the PIAA sport horns on my 2011 with the stock fuse and no relay. Their draw is comparable to OEM and I haven't blown any fuses. Going up in fuse size isn't usually a good idea. It is there to protect the wiring. For something with an intermittent draw like a horn and the fact that...
