    Haandle Bar/ Throttle Meister

    Straight and slow, their tool worked but I could where it could be a PITA if you got it cross-threaded. Not the best quality piece I have ever seen, to call it a "tool" is a bit of a stretch. That said I really do like the TM.

    Fjr 1300 Vs Fj1200

    Had an '03 FJ1200ABS for 5 years and loved it! It was my favorite bike until the FJR came into my life. No comparison on power. FJ would pull good but never into the "Oh My God" ranges of speed that the FJR will lay down. Handling of course goes to the FJR (my FJ was stock except for heavier...

    Noisy Driveshaft, Normal?

    Mine has a little whine that reminds me of a turbine but my old FJ1200 had the same whine. Brings back good memories but at a much greater velocity. I also noticed my handlebars got loose after the power wheelies and the maximum braking exercise caused by the old lady with no turnsignaling...

    Stupid Question Dept

    I know this is stupid but here goes. I am going to put a BMW accessory plug on the bike to run my electric vest (on one of the dash panels). Does it matter at all which wire goes to which pole on the plug. I think no but I'll ask anyway. What size inline fuse should I put on this baby? I await...

    ABS Problems!

    I hate hearing about that! This seems to be a recurrent theme with Yamaha ABS systems. My '93 FJ1200ABS had the pump go out at the 12000 mile service due to some DA service technician. I took it to this one dealer in Memphis that did Yamaha and BMW (lots of ABS business you would think) and they...

    Untruthful Advertising

    Put over 13K on my '03 Road GLide and she was pretty reliable, had one or two issues (like the entire shifter assembly falling off while going 90mph across South Dakota..SUCKED, had to shift by hand for 80 miles to the next dealer). Overall ran good. handled wonderfully at parking lot speeds...

    Abs Confusion

    Just to add my .02 worth, Mine has ABS , have had 3 bikes with ABS, and 15 without over the years. I like the idea of more control on wet or slick surfaces and that is why I got it. Pure personal preference and no I don't ride any more agressive because of the ABS. The one thing I haven't seen...

    Heat Complaint

    Only have a few thousand miles on mine but have ridden in heat up to the mid 90s so far. If you wear proper gear,keep the tank half full and keep the windshield down, and most importantly--keep moving, it isn't horrible. I just came off of an '03 Harley Road Glide and you want to to talk about...
