    Garmin condensation

    I found out when my 2720 fogged up that there are some ventilation holes hidden under the slider on the back of the unit. If you slide the holding plate down as if you were mounting the unit at an extreme angle you will find 3 tiny pinprick holes and by sliding it down they are now open . Place...

    Too Easy

    I am not sure how to start this but I bought the FJR as a tool to commute to work but found that unlike the previous bikes this one was way too much fun just to commute so I play on it as well and as no bike is perfect for me ( arms too short legs too long for my height) I have done some...

    Tank Heat

    The obvious answer is a Bagster cover but I'm too stubborn to pony up for that overpriced British stuff especially when I already have another tankbag. In fairness it's not overpriced, just an under valued dollar and the "heat" just aint that bad to me. Just to let you know the bagster is a...

    Garmin 2720

    Mine has done it a few times and when I checked with garmin I was told it is condensation and to cure it you place the unit in a sunlit window with the slider on the back pulled right down . If you do this you will find 3 tiny little holes in the back of the unit under that slider. I had to...

    Hot weather pants?

    I use Rukka (outlast) designed for under leathers under my lightweight cordura trousers. I found that denims got too hot on this bike and leathers are too. The underleathers soak up the sweat and stop some of the radiated heat getting at my legs and if I dont put my cordura trousers on I am set...

    Garmin Wiring Harnesses

    I had the same problem with my 2720 tried troubleshooting the cables and then spoke to Autocom , they said the garmin connector is cr*p and to cut it off and solder the cable to their intercom cable . Hey presto not a problem since and the sound is so clear . If I'd known that at the start I...

    Trouble Shifting w/New Boots

    I recently bought some new Alpinestar boots and had the same problem . When changing up I find after the second time I cant unless I pull boot out and let the linkage dropback enough. I am getting used to it and have decided this is why Rossi puts his foot out coming to a bend as he is using a...

    New Tire Or A Plug

    When I had my last puncture the RAC escorted me to the main tyre depot as their repairs are only rated at 40mph and I got a chatty tyre fitter who gave me lots of extra info on tyres . What he said is that the Bridgestones that are fitted to FJRs are considered special fitments and tyre dealers...

After about 5 minutes riding all the heat stored in the gel transfered to the kevlar and...

    Shit, that was a cold ride

    I found fitting handguards ups your hand temperature by quite a lot. Since fitting them I havent used my inner gloves at all .So much easier to ride with just one pair of gloves. I think I will have to add the feet protectors next and no extra use of electricity at all. The handguards were the...
