    Suddenly hot starting very difficult and low stationairy rpm.

    Sounds like classic vacuum leak. Look to make sure the port plugs are still there and sealing properly. They can crack and still look fine but leak.

    Looking to buy an FJR - Pre-purchase/inspection advice please!

    Admore Lighting makes an adapter that plugs into the harness in left side cover a little rearward of the airbox that offers pigtails of all the rear lights (turn, brake and tail/license). It is inexpensive and negates the need to splice any harness wires.

    ABS & Rear brake issue- Post front caliper rebuild

    Call me stupid but, I never saw a confirmation of the year of this bike. Odds are, If you rebuilt the right front lower caliper and, in the process, let the rear master run dry AND did not bench bleed it, it very likely has pumped a bit of air downstream and it's still trapped. If the front...

    New Helmet Time - let the research commence

    Just throwing this out there: I have a Nolan N100-5 Consistency new in the box that I would be willing to part with if you decide that would work for you. It's a 2XL (yes, I have a giant, oval head) so, that may or may not work for you.

    New Helmet Time - let the research commence

    I can't speak to the C5 directly but, I recently purchased a C3 Pro and installed a Cardo PackTalk Edge. It was a much simpler install than my Nolan N100-5/Cardo PackTalk Bold installation. I used the stick on mounts in both cases and I like to have the earspeakers as close to my ears as...

    Wanted watertight tail bag

    I use an Osah 60L dry bag for those long excursions. Easily attaches to the bike. Shrinks to fit what I need. Keeps things dry.

    Need battery for 2013 FJR

    Like others have said, the Yuasa YT14B-BS would be my first choice. I currently (no pun intended) have a Shorai lithium battery installed but if that ever goes bad, I'd go back to a Yuasa YT14B-BS AGM battery in a heartbeat. The lithium does fine for the most part. I have a DVR on my bike...

    20S with SM10/Radar Challenge!

    I have a similar set up, I think. I have a Cardo PackTalk Edge in my helmet. That is paired to my Motorola phone. With that I can hear audio from the phone for conversations, phone calls, navigation, music and notifications. I recently added a Cobra Rad700i radar detector to the mix and it is...
