    Rust on gas tank mount bracket

    located on the underside of the front of the gas tank there is the mounting bracket integrated with the tank. I have noticed rust around its edges and on the tank surface beneath it. Has anyone had this problem?

    thin bike cover - does one exist?

    I have had my share of covers and Geza is the best I've found. Thin, light and gentle on the paint.

    speeometer indication erratic

    Sorry I didn't think about the moisture until later. I was at work when I initially posted and had to cut my internet time short. Anyway I wash using the "shower" setting on my garden hose sprayer then I use a leaf blower to blow the water from the nooks and crannies then dry with a microfiber...

    speeometer indication erratic

    It stopped acting up just before I took it to the dealer so naturally they didn't do anything since it wouldn't act up while in their shop. I suspect the problem was moisture. I noticed condensation under the lens and shortly after the condensation went away the speedo lined out. I had disabled...

    speeometer indication erratic

    I pluged the windshield auto retract back in and the speeomter jumping seems to have stopped. Go figure?

    speeometer indication erratic

    Since the abs works off a magnetic pick up anything magnetic too close would interfere with the signal

    speeometer indication erratic

    Today I checked the trouble codes best I could but the information I found so far seems to be different than the 2010 model. But here is what I got. d01- 17, d03- 95, d05- 95, d06-133, d08- .6 then I tried toggling the kill switch then got out of and back into the diagnostic mode and the d05...

    speeometer indication erratic

    Thanks! I'm not getting an ABS light but I did recently have the rear wheel off when I serviced the rear swingarm and I was under the dash when I unpluged the wind shield auto retract. Hopefully its a loose connection. I don't know how to retrive trouble codes. It's still covered under warranty...

    speeometer indication erratic

    I have a 2010 model and I have noticed the speeometer indication jumps around occasionally. I don't know that it has anything to do with it but I recently disconnected the windshield auto retract.

    rear suspension service

    Sorry for the delayed respnse. Thanks for everyones input! The washer in question originaly came from under one of the linkage arm nuts. Since the nut on the misplaced washer has a full nut grip with a few threads to spare I opted to leave it alone since its such a pain to remove and re-torque...

    rear suspension service

    It was a week ago when I started servicing the rear suspension and because I had to order some new bearings I'm just not putting it back together. I inadvertently put a washer that was originally in a different location behind the nut that attaches the relay arm to the frame thus reducing...

    wheel balance

    I just had a set of Michelin Pilot Road 4 tires installed and I noticed the rear wheel has no weights. What are the odds it balanced with no lead? I hate to accuse the dealer of not doing something but it seems odd it didn't need any weight

    New PIAA Slimline Sports Horn

    yes, for the same $$$, you can "properly" install a $35 stebel compact air horn with a $30 Eastern Beaver single horn harness To me properly installed isn't hanging on the side of the bike. This defeats the purpose of the frame sliders in the event of a tip over.

    Power plug

    I have the 2010 model with a power plug in the glove box. Can I use that to power my Garmin?

    Risers

    I just bought a 2010 FJR and I'm looking for some risers that do not require mods to the cables and hydraulic lines. I'd like to keep the factory tripple tree also. Got any suggestions? Thanks!
