The Garmin 395 manual specifically says you can play music stored internally: https://www8.garmin.com/manuals/webhelp/zumo395/EN-US/GUID-DE21AF16-F2F7-42B8-BE17-5F727677077E.html

The 395 should support playing music off the SD card. I do know from my Zumo 660 experience that it's important to have numerous folders rather than all music in one big folder. In my case my thousands of songs are broken up into seperate folders for each album. I'm considering a 395 and this...

Are you on the wet side of Oregon? Being up here near Tacoma, we get a lot of rain and I ride daily so I know about corroded connectors on the FJR. I've been Spider bit, but you don't have to worry about that on your 05. There is a big connector under the tank by the steering head that I hear...

I can't remember off the top of my head. I'll have to check my notes at home to see if I noted anything. Might be a day or two before I get a chance because my schedule is crazy.

Great to hear! It was announced that they were not going to be made anymore, so I stocked up on a few pair and still have a spare set available, so I haven't gone looking for them. I ride at least 12,000 miles a year and they seem to only go 1.5 years before they start splitting on the end...

You might have a bad starter relay. You can check it with your volt meter. Put the positive meter lead to the wire coming from the battery to the starter relay and put the negative meter lead to the wire going to the starter. Watch the meter when starting. You should see battery voltage...

Besides the other great suggestions, I've found that foam grip covers help too. They isolate your hands from the bar vibration. Not everyone likes the thicker grip, but I used to put Johar foam grips on my motorcycles back in the 80's and like the thicker profile. The one I run are called...

Incredible road trip! Thanks for sharing. And thanks to the Pie man for re-posting photos I can actually see here at work. :)

Like most, I suspect you want to get rid of the FNG moniker. That happens with enough posts and happens fairly quickly if you're posting in forum areas other than NEPRT (this one we're in). FYI, Posts in NEPRT don't add to your post count.

I've never looked at how they make that work, but maybe they have a way of reversing polarity to the starter motor? I just know that I always cringe when my Wing riding buddy pulls "nose in" on downhill parking spots, thinking "he's gonna have a hell of a time backing that pig out of the spot"...

I've been off the forum for days, but I see you got her fixed. Yes, a starter will run backwards if assembled 180 degrees out :( as I experienced and reported in the thread RossKean linked to.

Ebay has 5 pack of shims for about $1 each: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Hot-Cams-9-48mm-Valve-Shim-1-80mm-5PK948180/141581254796?fits=Model%3AFJR1300&epid=171212677&hash=item20f6e6808c:g:gjsAAOSwG0BZb5tC I have a shim kit, but this is the way to buy replacements (or setup an initial FJR1300 supply).

Glad to help. I know I've received a TON of help around here. :) We learn best from our mistakes, but I'll risk learning less by learning from other's mistakes. ;)

That's who I was thinking of! He showed off his setup at a tech meet.

The paved private road I live at the top of is 17% grade for part of it. It's a great place to test the front ABS when going down it when the road is wet and there's leaves on it. :crazy: Takes a leap of faith to hit the brakes with any authority. :) But I've never had a slide on the...

Your mechanic may not realize that the brakes are linked as RossKean posted. That would definitely explain your problem. If the rear is still mushy after a thorough bleeding, you can also try another trick. Hang a heavy weight from the rear brake pedal and leave it there overnight. The...

Most people (me included) installed these FZ1 mirrors: 5LV-26280-00-00 REAR VIEW MIRROR ASSY (LEFT) 5LV-26290-00-00 REAR VIEW MIRROR ASSY (RIGHT) comparison pics from many years ago: https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php?showtopic=100993&hl= although I don't know if they're still there...

A forum member figured out how to access the OBD and posted extensive info about it on the forum. Can't remember details, but searching should get you the info you need. I ride a 07, so my brain didn't put much importance in that info. ;)

I used the Viton double lipped seal on my starter rebuild. One word of caution is to make sure there's good scribed marks for housing position. Mine had no marks, so I used a permanent marker that was eliminated when I ran the parts in the ultrasonic cleaner. My best guess reassembly resulted...

Great! Now that y'all are experts, you can all come help me install the gutter guards I bought at Costco last year. :) Just Kidding. I'm not ready to start and it will be a more involved job when I get around to it because I have to make a lengthwise bend in each one so they'll fit with my...
