One more thing I need to buy now. Looks great. Where did you get the plugs that cover the side bag mounts? Come with the bike? Aftermarket?

They had burger on sale ($2.59/ lb for 93%lean) so I bought 50 lbs. Put the burger in the top trunk with my other gear. A little top heavy.

Can't find what I'm looking for. I want to clamp onto my wires with a screw and not a push-on connector. See photo for what I would like. Anyone know who might sell them? Thanks Uploaded with ImageShack.us

I have the vacuum style on my FJ1200 and I like it but you can't buy them anymore. I wish the Rostra had an either/ or for tach signal and/ or VSS. The manual says the tach signal is for safety only and won't control the speed. Maybe I will switch to the cam sensor. Anyone know the wire color I...

I thought I read somewhere that the Rostra could be adjusted for the FJR without adding anything. Did you try it on the speed sensor then move to the cam sensor? Thanks for the info on the windshield switch. I might be gutting a stock one and making what I want. I want it to look as OEM as I can.

I'm working on the same CC unit. What wire did you use for the speed sensor? The speed sensor has three wires, two of them connect with other wires and there is a third wire that goes to the CPU only (according to the factory service manual). I'm assuming that is the one? I'm also going to look...

I guess my point was that if you listen and feel what the bike is doing and what feels wrong, most all components will last much longer.

I'm with you. If head gasket goes, you have pressure inside your overflow tank, loose coolant, then run the motor without coolant. No water pump turning makes temp sensor go to hot quickly. Unless motor had overheated in the past, your head gasket doesn't just fail (unless it is a Harley).

BIR in a week and a half and round 18 AMA dirt track that evening. I plan to ride up, watch RR on Saturday, dirt track Saturday night and help in the pits on Sunday for the 5hr endurance. If you've never been there, you should go.

Dirt track singles in mid 80's, road racing from 1989 to 2008 from FZ 700, FZR 600, F-2, R-6, R-1 and retired on a SV650. Factory Dunlop Race tire Rep. AMA Pro..... I think I know what brake to use and when. Finished 4th in my 1st LD (MN 2000) and my old FJ milage speaks for my street knowlege...

Rode my FJ1200 for 180,000 miles and NEVER had it apart (checked valve adjustment 2 times) and never had the 2nd gear will be junk by 20,000 miles problem. If the shift feels good, keep doing it. If you miss a shift or doesn't want to go in, stop doing that. If you miss a shift and you don't...

Got the first email. Thanks Wayne

I assume some/ most also are on the other forum (fjrforum). I sent a request to join, got my email back that my account is pending waiting for the board to activate my account. Been over a week. I replied to the email and it couldn't be delivered. Is there someone on that forum that could...

Cavy, I plan to do that this winter. I have a 2009 AE (bought new this summer) and I'm old school I guess. I have 182,000 miles on my 1993 FJ1200 and still have the original rear pads in it. When I use my front brakes, only one set of pistons have pressure on them and my brake pads are going to...

I've read several threads about stopping in 3rd gear ect to aid in the clutch disengage rpm problem. I had the same problem where I would be coming to a stop and the brakes would pull the rpms down to about 900 rpm and then the clutch would disengage. A little about my background is I built...
