When I read the title of this thread, I thought to myself, "Well, let's get Zappo to lube up and don the blindfold." Imagine my disappointment. I'd REALLY appreciate a less misleading title next time, thank you very much. But I'm glad you figured out where that last threaded fastener belongs.

Fred, I would think that clutchless shifting can still be accomplished without too much fuss. One may need to be a bit more precise with respect to the shift point (rpm), but I doubt most would notice the difference. Disclaimer - I have not had this done on my bike, so it's mere speculation.

What,nobody else is going to say it? It's just a little ice cream?

Ordered. Thanks for the linky thingy. BTW, here's the instructions on how to change the scree once you get it out of the unit. No soldering required on the Streetpilot.

In addition to ion's words, I'd say that when stopping behind traffic at a light, make sure you align your cycle with a clean get-away zone if at all possible. That way if an incident occurs behind you the amount of maneuvering required is greatly reduced. Just rev and release. I keep mine in...

Dale actually took the time to e-mail me back today. Here's his response: "Hi Dan My FJR Header system will fit all year models Be back on Monday Cheers Dale"

Thanks! My search queries may have been too specific.

Okay, I give up. Searched on google, searched on forum, even visited a wise guy in the Himalayas. All I want to know is, the Holeshot system for the FJR, is it the same for a Gen 1 and a Gen 2? I sent a question to Dale Walker, but since he's the only one who answers his e-mails, I'm not sure...

My Gerbings pigtails have 15A fuses. My 'tender connection has no fuse.

All of a sudden you're worried about hurting feelings? You gettin' soft in yer old age?

HRZ makes a great point. Even dry roads can give us nasty surprises. Imagine that oil patch on a freshly-moistened curve.

I used a WD-40 type lube, which helps keep water off of the surfaces inside the switch, about a year or so ago. I think it helped significantly. The bent-key thing has happened to me twice, but other than that, no problems removing the key from the switch after lubing it.

At first I thought it said, "the Cure for all Elvis." And I thought, "What the heck does this have to do with vibrations?" And then I posted this and thought, "Wow, that has pretty much nothing to do with numbness either." Um, where were we? :blink:

Glad you're okay. Do you have need of a garage, or is it too late for that? I'm kinda far away, but you and your FJR are welcome. Perhaps someone closer can offer up?

Not sure about the Heli bars. My fork brace seemed (and maybe it was only perception) to add some small, noticable amount of rigidity to the forks in the twisties. Not sure if it helped with cupping, though, because I put that brace on soon after getting the bike. So, in summary, I think the...

I have a similar condition around 40 mph. Tire is balanced and appears to be round. Hopefully the next PR2 front - if I go with them again - does not exhibit the same tendency. Oh, and it started at around 5k miles.

lulz

By the title, I thought you had bought a HD.

I'm glad to hear that I wasn't the only one to do that. Three strands off each wire, I think it was? Definitely go with the 12 ga.

+1, check it out. You could save hundreds to thousands on repair, or thousands to millions on a new bike. (Okay, maybe not millions. But close.) Would probably take some patience.
