    installing dauntless hitch with ya707 shock

    On my 04, I spent more time re-shimming the top case mounts (attached to the bike) as the hitch threw the alignment out.. PIA

    Carbtune Pro hoses not fitting

    I have the Carbtune and syncing my old 04, never had a problem with the hoses fitting loose. It was kind of a PIA adjusting certain TB's (air screws) as the throttle had to be opened(engine now turned off). I don't know if they changed it for the Gen II..

    Time to replace the ignition switch on Frankenbike

    I'm curious as to why folks would buy new parts/ tear down, etc, BEFORE even trying a squirt of contact cleaner???

    What's this hose?

    His idle is too low, not too fast... For the Op, has the the idle changed back to normal? Check on that TPS. With them not replacing that hose, I wouldn't be surprised more "assembly" is screwed up. You'll likely be doing more digging, checking vacuum lines, open ports, etc... Was the bike...

    Time to replace the ignition switch on Frankenbike

    Read post #332 about a Gen I ignition issue (towards the very end-several multi-quotes): https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php/topic/26098-fjrf0030-ignition-failures-on-fjrs/page-17 Quote: "since the reports of failure for my '04 Gen I are low and seem to focus on dirty contacts and not...

    What's this hose?

    Does you engine have that hose? It's part of the water pump / coolant system, Simply look and see if it's there... Probably partially behind the RS, lower fairing. Click on the link and re-install it...

    FJR Radiator

    Anything that helps keep road crap, "road water", etc (front or rear) off me and the bike, I'll utilize. And yes, I kept the stock rear fenders on all my bikes (no cut downs/kits). The small, stock, fender looks slick but obviously won't work as well as a longer fender. Being black, doesn't...

    FJR Radiator

    "Foam tape" is NOT PVC glue. And I wouldn't trust that either. PVC glue, on clean surfaces, clamped together, it's NOT going anywhere. The FJR, stayed on for years, (up to 145 MPG), my FZ6 (same procedure), been on there since 2009, (135 MPH) Ever glue PVC to another PVC coupler? Same...

    FJR Radiator

    I put one on my old 04 FJR, helps keep rock damage down a bit. On my FZ(below), pebbles are known to kick up and jamb the radiator fan. Both bike's, the FE was GLUED ON, no bolts-PVC glue..

    Picking up my 06 fjr tomorrow....how do i ride it?

    I think the side bags were a little larger on the Gen I's than the new ones. But no, there's a definite difference in the handling.

    Picking up my 06 fjr tomorrow....how do i ride it?

    Mcompton1973, if you don't need the side bags, pull them off till your used to the bike. I never used my side bags un-less on a road trip. They feel like you have a small passenger on the bike. W/O the bags, IMO, the bike is a bit more flickable and easier for slow speed maneuvering.
