    2007 FJR1300A - the Lump (aka engine) is dying

    James, re the impact of the PC III on the engine idling. Lots of things can impact idle performance however I did have the exact same thing happen to my '05 about a year ago. I installed a PC III shortly after buying the bike new in '05 and it worked great until last year. Long story short...

    HOW TO VIDEOS - Q&A

    On his throttle body sync video he mentions that he is adjusting the throttle plate positions. On my Gen ! bike, the normal throttle body sync done at idle you adjust the bleed air screws. Is that Gen 3 different or was he actually adjusting the bleed air screws on each throttle body?

    Ebay HID

    Fred, I have been running HID's in my headlamp buckets for 7 years now and YES, that upper part of the reflector is severely 'burned' or damaged. I'm assuming from the heat of the bulbs.

    How many riders ride 2-up?

    Only got one seat (a smuggler is behind) so unless it's a naked nympho hitchhiking on the road, it's 100% solo!

    Gen III with Yami Touring Windscreen AND Laminar Lip ?

    John, thanks a million for the info on your mounting of the Lip. I have a Gen 1 with the Yamaha touring screen so I expect it may be very similar to yours. It will be interesting to see how well it works! Thanks again, Nick
