    ECU Code 19

    I did a tour this past weekend of 545 miles leaving my home in southern WV for Princeton, WV. I got on the superslab and ran down to Fancy Gap, VA and picked up the Blue Ridge Parkway. I ran the Parkway until dark stopping at Boone NC for the night. Sunday AM I took off for Johnson City, TN...

When I am headed into a strong wind or have strong gusty cross winds hitting me at an angle the front end of...

    EOM

    I believe many of you living in the eastern part of the US will soon be headed off for the meeting in Lewisburg,WV. Even though I live only a short distance from the site I can't make it but I wanted to offer a bit of advice. The deer in this part of the country are all over the road. You...

    Help with 06 front pad replacement

    I am sure the info I am looking for has been repeatedly posted time and time again on this forum. However, after quite a bit of time searching for it I can not locate any help as to how to replace the front pads on a 06 bike. The one place I did find assistance only showed up to a 05. My disc...

    GPS in Tank Bag

    I have a Magellan GPS and have put the darn thing all over the bars and in the bag. I have a Rapid Transit bag at present and took a piece of cardboard and made a cut out of the unit. Then I slid the unit into the map pocket of the bag. Did the same for the XM radio. Power for both units...

    Axio Update

    Thank you for your reply. I am surprised as to how little the response has been to my question. This is even the case on the other forums...either it is a bad deal, which I don't think is the case, or there is little interest. Anyway, when you place the bag on the tank and turn your handle...

    Axio Update

    I have been researching this all day and found some old (2006) posts on this subject but really no answers. Today I was about to order the Axio Hardpack Tankbag from NewEnough when Nate who owns the place gave me a word of caution as to how well this bag will work on the FJR. So far I have...

    Alarms?

    There was a dude in Huntington WV that was faced with a problem similar to the one you outlined so he made it point to park his bike "in front of a parking garage security camera". A few days after doing this his bike made the 6 o'clock evening news....the so called security camera filmed the...

    I'v just finished 500 plus miles on my new fjr over the past two days. My butt is miserable. In the past on other bikes I've tried different seats i.e. Corban,biker shorts, butt powderes...you name it. Short of an aspirin nothing seems to help. So, I am going to look into your tip and others...
