Thanks everyone for the feedback. I wonder about : "''''''I've owned a couple of Road Kings for longer and shorter time spans. I ride most of the Cruisers, and Cruiser Tourers that appear to be class definers or at least class leaders. I think the Kawasaki Nomad would best work for me at...

I am toying with adding another bike to the garage. I enjoy my 04 FJR that I have put 14k on. I mostly enjoy it for rides from Fl. to the mtns of Ga/NC < twice a years> and fast rides out to the Everglades. Mostly though I'm bored with it in FL/ no curves for hundreds of miles, but great...

"Got my staintunes installed today, gotta say I'm really happy! Took the baffle tubes out right away, the sound is MUCH better than stock, it sounds like a proper motorcycle now. Not raspy or cheap sounding. Just a mellow, authoritative sound that makes twisting the throttle even more fun" from...

One more thumbs up to this guy. Just got my Staintunes in from SportBike Effects, really prompt service. Much apprectiated. By the way the quality of those pipes is impressive with great sound. Thanks again. Steve

thanks, that's pretty much what i have always done, crush & maybe a quarter turn more, damn I paid a bunch for that thing... what was the reason i bought that again? Never should wander around a tool department at Sears or Home Depot. Always seem to come home with something> ;)

i tried a search before postng this thread using " california scientific".. i did get a couple of hits but not the thread you referred me to. Perhaps I'm not as computer literate as I would like. Thanks for taking the time to point me in the right direction... :)

I wonder if you could reduce the back pressure//turbulence by drilling a few 1" holes in the same location that they placed their cutouts. Anyone tried this?

I'm actually considering buying this, mostly because the explanation they provide seems logical. But does it actually work? Any feedback on this and what size u chose is a appreciated. FYI https://motorcycleinfo.calsci.com/FJR1300prod.html thanks

Excellent, thank you!

Finally got around to buying a torque wrench after years of over tightening stuff. Spent quite a bit of time searching the various FJR links but wasn't able to find a comprehensive list of recommended torque values. Does something like that exist? Do peope have a rule of thumb they use that...

Is the Mobil 1 75w-90w avail @autoparts store or is trip to M/C shop needed?

thanks for feedback, haven't had any surging issues so hopefully i'll keep it simple. Looking mostly for a bit more character for the bike. I guess after 14k new pipes is cheaper than new bike. i went with SportbikeEffects.com//figure keep the business in house<went with staintunes oval//had...

thanks , i went back and did the search on pipes so i am pretty much set on the Statunes just wondering if the PC111 is needed ?

when adding slipons to the Fjr is it necessary to add pwr commander or can stock fuel management system accommodate change in resistance from stock? will appreciable improvement be apprecitated without remapping? Curious as to how many have changed out stock exhausts? Happy with change? thanks.

My apologies for misunderstanding your comment: "Perhaps you would like 7 or 8 speeds? " Sometimes sarcasm in person with the attached smile that goes with it is easier to interpret. Thank you for the explanation about the gear ratio. I still stand by my comments regarding the other issues...

See that's just what i meant, about mostly reading. A smartass reply like yours. What the f. are you spouting off about? You know what i meant . When i'm racking up 8-900 mile days at higher speed the vibration on my 04 sucks/// could be better. Your wiseass answer is friggin disgraceful. by the...

I figure i'll get bashed for this, that's why i mostly read and keep my comments to myself. But...... I'll give Yamaha the benefit of the doubt and assume this tranny works flawlessly and becomes thee trend setter in the M/C world. I don't like having the extra 60 pounds that this bike will...

Followup: The problem seems to be the cable by Grmin the 1/8th" audi connector provides marginal contact with the male connector. I have tried multiple mle connectors and realized that when in just the right position good contact is made and proper audio level is obtained. This is the second...
