Thank You !

.... TTT .... Please Help ? Does anyone know the answers to my previous questions ? I'd sure hate it if I have to take off all the fairings, the fuel tank, the radiator, the air box, the injectors, and the upper fairing, only to find that I could have only removed the radiator to replace...

where do the plugs for the LH switch assy attach ? and where are the wires and plugs routed to ? or more importantly what do I HAVE TO remove to replace the LH switch assy ?

The turn signal switch ? or the emergency flasher switch ?

Hi Jim ... very old topic .... I am having "the same" problem .... did you ever resolve it ? How ?

Hmmmmm...... Looks like this thread never got solved? Or the o.p. Never left the solution? anyhoo. ... I am having a similar problem, and wondering if anyone can tell me where (exactly?) the right front turn signal wiring is routed. ... Or, is there a routing diagram in my fsm? Here is...

I will be renting a BMW R1150R with full bags for my wife and I to ride from Dublin to the TT and back this summer. Could you please give any insights, opinions, or observations to compare an contrast how (vastly) different it will be from riding my '05 FJR with "full" GP suspension ?

Are the saddlebag (and top box) locks on a 2007 the same as on a 2005 ?

One of my locks broke on my 05 FJR ... do you still have one ?

Ok .. new transmission and new Pirelli Angels ... pretty much all I have used since I bought my FJR is diablo stradas (22K miles since I purchased the bike). My angle on angels: Much sharper steering, lightning quick turn in = MUCH MORE FUN in the super technical stuff. Totally stable...

If it was up to me ... I'd probably settle on a few vehicles which "fit the bill for me" and keep "recycling" them. "Normally" I have (budgeted for and) bought a new bike every five years. - this year instead of that I spent 3K on a BUILT motor for my 88 Hawk, and 3.5K on a new transmission...

while they were in there ... four of the gears and/or dogs were worn, so basically, four gears were replaced 2k parts 1.5K labor Just did 1000 miles at "warp speed" to Laguna Seca and back .... yee haw ....

All fixed ! New (improved) gears seem a little bit noisier I'll be running her on the usual epic trip up to Moto GP this weekend .... gonna be awesome ... as usual

Yup ... looks like I will be back to "shifting the way God intended" .... with the clutch ! ( like I did for about 20 years ... before I started listening to the people who told me it wouldn't damage the trans at all ) Can't wait to get her back out of the shop ... hopefully before Laguna Seca...

Well .. she's in the shop, getting lots of work done on the tranny They are replacing "several gears" and three shift forks ($1500 in parts) ... not sure if any of that could have been causing the "grindy-ness" I experienced recently. Middle Drive Gear (bevel gear) bearings are in "like new"...

Cool .... Thanks Howie That about seals it then .... time to get the tranny rebuilt .....

Not 100% sure .... is the bevel gear you refer to inside the differential (pumpkin) ? ... that's not where the noise is coming from ... the noise is coming from the transmission area ... verified with stethascope, motor off, in gear, clutch lever pulled in, rotating wheel Gotta get 2nd gear...

Done lots of searches .. haven't found the same problem described. 2005 FJR has 28K "HARD" miles on it, "2nd gear forks" are "tweaked" (slips in 2nd) - been that way for over 8K miles. (has not gotten worse) Now I am having what appears to be lots of "gear noise" from down by my feet. Noise...

I have read several threads on brake vibration, including this one: https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php?s...rake++vibration Here is my problem: In hard braking, between about 100 and 40 mph, the braking is "smooth and linear" with no (perceivable) vibration. .. .any time I brake...

Thanks Howie, ... she's my daily driver, and it makes me sick when any of my "babies" are sick ... ..... I wasn't really getting used to commuting on our 88 Hawk ( 43 Crank HP ! ) Tomorrow's commute is gonna be a blast ... ;) And again ... Thank You EVERYONE for all the help and...
