    FJRF003.1: Ignition Switch

    I also have a '08 and I had the recall done. I asked about the key and was told they would use the old tumbler set and I would end up with the same old key. When I picked up my bike that's what I receive. Same old key with new switch with a red stripe on top of it. :rolleyes:

    Very rough, nearly stalls, at idle

    I have the very same thing happen to me. Bought my FJR last April and this has happen three or four times when I ride somewhere and stop then restart. The only common thing is the heat. Each time it was 80ish and when I restart the bike it feels like it was flooded. Rev it a couple of times and...

    FJRF003.1: Ignition Switch

    Just thought I'd add a big Thank you to you all for this thread. I stop by my dealer on my way home last night and the service tech had the recall on his desk (great timing). He ordered the kit for me and said it would be in next Wednesday for installation. So the kits are available in SoCa...

    Installed Admore lighting in Givi top box

    I had to very same problem here in Southern California with the light strip falling off with the heat here. I went to Home Depot and bought the extra strength two sided tape and so far it has held. My main worry is the connection on the inside of the box. I wish this connector was a 90 degree...

    Gloss black Givi e52 on a 2008

    Not to hijack this thread but I have this very same setup out here in SoCal and the double sided tape keeps coming off on the light strips. Do you have this problem? If so have you been able to solve it short of using glue?

    Brand New 08 FJR OVERHEATED

    My '08 does the same thing all the time. I bought mine in April and the temp bars were half way up when the air was around 65 degree out. during the hot weather my bike is always at or above 7 bars. When I posted the same question there were no real answers. I have not had any problems with...

    Multiple device pairing on Bluetooth

    You lose the ability to place calls directly from the headset. You can redial the last number you called and you can accept calls and reject calls but that’s about it. This shortcoming only affects the cell phone utilization. To bad that IMC Motorcom didn't install the latest capabilities in...

    Multiple device pairing on Bluetooth

    I bought a set of the Camos BTS-300 units and I can tell you that these will pair to three Bluetooth devices on channel 1 and channel 2 is used for intercom duties. My only dislike is that the unit uses the HEADSET profile instead of the HANDSFREE profile. So far this unit is working fine and I...

    When I said "brim" I meant just even with the bottom of the plate.

    Gas under the FJR??????

    Ok guys, I have a question for you long time FJR owners. Sunday morning in anticipation of a Sunday ride I filled up the FJR to the brim with gas. As it turn out I did not go on the ride. Come Monday morning I ride to work as normal and my bike sits out in the sun and in the afternoon one of the...

    Yamaha Rear Trunk or Corbin Seat & Back Rest Combo

    motoman47, I installed the Givi E52 box, rack and Admore light kit for the box (I like the added lights in the back at night) for a couple of hundred less then the Yamaha kit. The gloss black lid matched my '08 perfect. I leave it on all the time without any problems and my wife said it's great...

    '08 Stalling problem

    Just adding another confirmation that increasing the idle rpm's to above 1,000 does solve the stalling problem. In my case every morning after letting the bike warm up I would leave for work then stop at a light and if I idled for a minute and just touched the throttle my bike would stall...

    Westone CR-1 Mini-Review

    I have this same type of custom ear plugs and they're great. Just a hint, if you have any guns shows in your area you can get them there as you wait. I bought two sets (1 with and 1 without speakers) while going though the show. I've worn them on my VTX with a half helmet and they will never...

    question about cool down after ride in heat

    Another observation. On Monday the temp here was 60 degrees ambient and the bike was at 3 to 4 bars. When I would hit a red light it goes up to 6 bars and of coarse it goes back down when I leave the light. But it's never below 3-4 bars. I did check to coolant level and it's correct. Many of you...

    question about cool down after ride in heat

    No, the electric fan seldom was running on my VTX but I have noticed that the fan is running almost every time I get home when the weather is on the hot side on the FJR.

    question about cool down after ride in heat

    I'm new to this board and have read some very useful information here. I'm coming from a Honda VTX and would like to ask if I need to let the FJR idle before turning the engine off after riding in the heat of the day. This is my first bike with fairings and it just seems like the engine will...
