    Steering Bearings

    I bought new in 2008 an 08 FJR AE. What a great bike! I recently noticed a thumping when I stop or hit bumps. When I apply the front brake, I can see the front end shift at the stem. Thinking the bearings were bad, I took it to the local Yamaha dealer. They looked it over and said I needed...

    Crop of "tough" cameras - waterproof, shockproof, dustproof

    I have owned the Lumix TS1 for about 6 months and am very happy with the images, both still and HD video. Due to its ruggedness and being waterproof, I use it on a boat, underwater and occasionally mount it to the exterior of my truck or bike. I mix the footage with my Canon 7D and HMC150...

    what is the quietest helmet for the fjr?

    If you want quiet do NOT buy the exo 1000. I have one and I do not find it any quieter than the HJC modular I had. It is slightly more comfortable and the tinted inner shield that flips down is very nice, but I am quite disappointed about the noise level. The tinted inner shield is nice, not...

    Dealer feedback?

    Lee, I have purchased 3 bikes from Honda East Toledo in the past year. They are great. They do what they say, when they say and they have the best prices anywhere. Don't worry about showing up and having things change or them trying to sell you add ons. They will give you an out the door...
