    New to FJR-On to Newfoundland

    Don't miss the Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia. There is an enormous tidal swing daily but try to time it for one of the biggest ones.

    What are buttons for?

    That's your "pedant-o-meter," Scoot.

    What are buttons for?

    Bad angle on the handlebars. The heated grip control would be under the clutch reservoir on the left in your photo so just out of view. It looks like there is a square cutout on that panel but I can't tell for sure. The heated grip control would be a knob on that square cutout.

    What are buttons for?

    No dumb questions here. I have a 2008 and it has factory heated grips. Cruise control was not factory that year.

    What are buttons for?

    Isn't that the starter button you're pointing at? It is in the US.

    Battery replacement

    I have the Deltran Jr. The battery and tender are both at about 50 F right now because they're both in the garage. The charger is always indoors. The bike is mostly outdoors, sometimes indoors. I have a Japanese, sealed, probably OEM and probably original to my 2006 that was working perfectly...

    Battery replacement

    I had the battery compartment (which was designed by sadistic midgets) opened to access the ABS diagnostic connector for the bi-annual clutch and brake bleed. I also ordered a new battery because I didn't know the history of the battery that came in the bike when I bought it and someone gave me...

    Would you pay the Dealer or Replace ABS brake lines Yourself?

    If it ain't Dutch, it ain't much.

    More RPM vs speedo but different...maybe

    A lot of us here have been in our twenties several times but still like flashy lights, especially those bright enough to read by. For me, at least, when the phone rings while I'm listening to music and navigation instructions it just annoys me. I was in my twenties three times before I became a...

    E15 / Unleaded 88 in 2008 FJR1300

    Found it. It's p 3-13, 3-14 in the Operation and Controls section of the 2006 Owner's manual. Not in the Specifications section. Not in the 2006-2007 service manual at all as far as I can tell.

    E15 / Unleaded 88 in 2008 FJR1300

    That's odd. In my 2006 owner's manual and my 2006-2007 service manual the only entry I see is "unleaded fuel only" with no reference to minimum octane rating or maximum ethanol content. Where was that entry in your owner's manual and for which year?

    What is this, and where does it go?

    It's a thermal imaging endoscope. You know where it goes.

    FJR Common Torque Values and Wrench Sizes

    I have a 2008 FJR1300A. I have a manual for the 2006-2007 FJR1300A. In my manual, the ABS sensor bolt (front and rear) is listed as and measures as an M6 button head cap screw with a torque spec of 22 ft-lbs. This is clearly the wrong torque spec for this small bolt. On Adam's 2016 photo and...

    battery access

    Also, on the '06, there is a bit of twisting to get the tab on panel D out from underneath the other panel. When you put it back on, make sure that the panel that holds the clip nut is the lower most of the three panels. I think the tab for panel D is the one in the middle of the sandwich. It's...

    **SOLD**2008 FJR1300 for Sale; $6,500**SOLD**

    You also should not list it here. You should list it here in FOR SALE. See if the admin will let you move it. He will probably insist.

    How tall are you?

    Shorter than I used to be...and not in a good way. But not short-sighted...still able to recognize an old thread.

    Single pin battery tender

    Does it look like this:

    Single pin battery tender

    This confuses me, which isn't difficult. By "single-pin" do you mean coaxial? Many motorcycles have Gerbing coaxial connectors for heated gear and other accessories. It has a pin in the center connected to an inner wire and that pin is surrounded by a larger diameter, outer connector. I use one...

    Do you all get “challenged” at stop lights?

    I never get challenged on the motorcycle. It's the ones who challenge me when I'm on my unicycle that are amusing. They usually go away in tears.

    Name that FJR

    My wife and I had the motorcycle, the red car, the blue car, and the truck. The truck is no longer with us. I thought about naming the FJR Brittany Spears because it was my train wreck last year. Instead, I named it, myself, and the gravel on the road many other things but I have stopped using...
