[QUOTE="Earlofcrankcase, post: 1464991, member: 98626"] With work commute duty in springtime in Tennessee it sounds like you don't have one of those 4 wheel turtles in the stable? No worries and no hurry either, your FJR is as rock solid as it ever was. While I never saw mine's temp gauge redline. It did have me believing those naysayers about FJR's being hot on the legs. Sure wish l wouldn't have taken that crap as gospel. I probably would have looked at it's coolant level before her water broke. The good news from here is it will be running cooler than it was. Yes, that's probably not as good to hear commuting in Tennessee. But it also happened before it had time to earn its true nickname. So forget "Distilled Water Douche Bag". It's true nature will show you it's real one soon enough. These are remarkably engineered machines. Another thing it's most likely going to show you is those brakes that feel fantastic are easy to get pushed beyond their limit. Kickass comfort AND speed is a hell of a thing but 640 lbs hauling ass does have it's limits. [/QUOTE]
