    See you 'round the ranch!

    I have enjoyed good comradery, good advice, and helpful discussions the 10 years I've been active on this forum. Owning and riding my 2010 Gen 2 has been an absolute blast. Thousands and thousands of miles. Dependable as can be. Time has caught up with me, and my equilibrium is not what it used...

    Valve check/Valve adjustment in Dallas-Ft. Worth

    My valve clearances were still within spec at 25k miles. More and more these days you've got to search for a good mechanic. My guy has certificates from almost every manufacturer. Built road racing motors for AMA. Even though he had never worked on the FJR, I knew he would enjoy it and do a...

    ABS Needed?

    of us have older models. Many of these bikes have ABS red indicator lights on intermittently. I had a dealer look into this. Blindly, he installed new sensors front and rear. $650. The red ABS light relit on the ride home. Personally, I am not an ABS kind of guy. Would you buy an FJR with...

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

    And, you could skip the brake fluid nightmare. I tried to be as careful as a surgeon, but still got it on my clothes, tires, floor. I do recommend Speedbleeders. Good luck!

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

    I just finished replacing front brake pads on my 2010. New DOT4. After that I had the front calipers on my Honda VTR1000 rebuilt, then I installed them. More DOT4. I do not like working with brake fluid. I did fine and both brake levers are firm. I installed SpeedBleeders on both bikes...

    Another long journey

    Great story! I rode 4800 miles in 17 days, late August/ early September. Much of this ride was in southern NM and AZ. Then heading south of the border, 105*. I, too, am wondering how long I'll be able to enjoy riding safely. I felt good on this ride. Friends of mine are already switching to the...
