How did Dan install the battery in your FJR? Did he take off the farings or did he use a different method?

I apologize Dan. Living with catastrophic tinnitus for 8 years has left my brain muddled and I often don't get the facts straight. I still hope I can get your sound, sage advice in the future.

Do the Shorai batteries come with foam stickers?

Dan I think I could have been clearer in my post. I did not want a lead acid battery as I really preferred the lithium batteries that you recommended here because of their lightweight. I expected it to fit the FJR1300 because that's what I put in the search tool. I guess I may to go with the...

I finally received my battery from Batteries Plus; it almost didn't feel like a battery because I used tothe lead acid types. I used the helpful 'find my bike' battery cross index (it gave me a part number of LIFEP04 51WH) but it's the wrong size - see pics below. The length is correct but the...

Thank you for your concern Cyclepath. My leg and calf feel better each day, probably due to using the RICE method of treating this condition. Fortunately I don't believe that I have a blood clot; just just a tear in my muscle. I have a Doctor appointment set up with my PCP this Friday. I'm...

Here are some pictures of my bruised leg from the muscle tear. It's looking and feeling better since I tore it on April 30th. I'm now carefully walking around and this time I'm remembering that it's still healing. I also captured my screwed up leg in the pictures. This diaster happened 50 years...

I lightly strained my left calf muscle about 1 week ago on my hour long early morning walk. It got progressively better to where I actually forgot about it, unfortunately. While working on my FJR yesterday, I forgot about my strain while I was kneeling and primary used my left leg to get up...

Yeah, tinnitus sucks and you're fortunate that your tinnitus is stable. Lifestyle catches up to us all in the end. Thanks for the info on the battery. I'll put the new battery on my trickle charger to ensure that it's fully charged before I install it. I'm waiting for the new battery to arrive...

My tinnitus is obtrusive and nothing is able to quell it. It is at 12Khz, a discordant mix of about 4 pure tones, static, 10,000 crickets and cicadas screaming in disunion and is always changing by the moment and each day is different. I had hearing aids for a time, but found that they...

Dan Thank you for the heads up about BatteriesPlus. I just placed an order with them, which I should receive May 2nd. I put the bike on my easyriser lift and everything is spinning freely (see pic). I think I had an old man brain fart and must have accidentally kicked the bike into first gear...

Great ideas everyone. I'm familiar with OG's idea about manually putting the bike in neutral as I have done it in the past. I'm unable to find neutral now using this method. I'm going to give it a thorough inspection per everyone's ideas, especially checking the braking system as I've noticed...

Wheel locked up solid with no movement at all. Didn't have a problem moving the bike until this morning. Yesterday (Saturday) I performed an oil & filter change and then replaced the pumpkin gear oil right after. I then performed the coolant flush fill. This morning (Sunday), once I had the gas...

When I turned the key to attempt to start it, the dash light indicated is was in neutral.

I don't think it was high oil, more like way too overfilled using the funnel. The bike is in neutral, it's on the ground and won't rock or move. The only thing that changed is my overfilling the pumpkin. I never had problems wrenching on my bikes before, but my recent Illness in 2016, when I...
