    Keyless start?

    The ILCO key is a great solution. Inexpensive and works great! Thanks for the suggestions

    FJR vs CanAm fully loaded

    Thank you for understanding. The rest of these folks did not get my comparison at all. I get you cannot accurately compare at Cavalier to a Cadillac. Yet I was curious if $30k would buy me a better ride. And I found out .... not necessarily. It also made me really appreciate the ride I do have...

    FJR vs CanAm fully loaded

    On a whim I decided to try the new CanAm triple with all the bells and whistles. Aside from being a whopping $30k, I think the FJR is 10x the ride at 1/3 the price. First off the CanAm was gutless off the line and the extra wheel on the ground made it feel unstable especially at high speeds...

    Keyless start?

    Took me a minute but now I see the wires stripped and ready to be touched together. That WOULD be a pretty simple solution.

    New HeliBar design - anyone using? Comments?

    I love mine. I'm 6'5 and couldn't ride the bike more than 100 before. Now the bars are in the right spot for me to go all day. Only down side is i can no longer tilt the tank back to change the spark plugs of filter or whatever. Just an extra long bolt to remove the tank entirely. Not really a...

    Keyless start?

    I am bending keys and now the bike won't start. Dealer won't cut the key so I'm stuck with lock smiths I'm looking for a better solution. I know the Concourse has a keyless proximity start feature. Anyone ever try to rig one up for a FJR Mine is a Gen 2. 2010.

    How to use centerstand

    I have no problems getting the bike up on the stand. I just dont want to stress anything or harm anything by not using it. I imagine it is great for changing the tire or pivoting the bike 180 degrees in a tight spot. I was just curious if using the center stand was better somehow than the side...

    How to use centerstand

    I have always ridden cruisers and never a touring bike like my 2010 FJR 1300 What is the deal with the center stand? Why do I need it? Am I supposed to always have it on the center stand? Educate me o wise ones

    OUCH.

    Yep, I am saving my pennies for a RDL now. Of course I'll the want the best I can get. What is everyone's thoughts on pure leather vs that marine canvas or velour product? And how about your experiences with heated seats. Are they worth it?

    OUCH.

    I will be getting a RDL soon enough. Gotta say the Master Yoda riding position stuff really helped as well. I did 363 miles today with minimal discomfort. Thanks everyone

    OUCH.

    I thought this thing was supposed to be a long distance ride. More than a 100 miles and I'm done. I have a 2010 FJR1300A. I bought it because it had low miles and everything I read said it was a great long distance rider. I finally have the numb hands thing fixed. Big, oversized, gel grips...
