says 329.00 -- whew - they obviously think a LOT of those risers.

Could you elaborate on the "fragging" transmissions or cltuches? First i've heard of it. I have not heard of a single fragged tranny - but I have heard from a previously unimpeachable source that there is something wrong out there and a fix is already in the wind. Not going to name names, but...

you could add a number 5 as I hear that a recall is scheduled for early AE's - due to fragging transmissions or clutches. pretty sure that there is a relatively quick cure for #2 #3 - has already been fixed #4 - lose the spring Not sure about #1 - doesn't bother me. I have never purchased a...

when I dropped the vacuum caps on my first tbs - Jeff H made a modified piece of tubing - put some silicone in one end and a screw - and fitted it to the throttle body. Actually works great - I was thinking about selling them. Makes the whole tbs much less of a hassle if all the little caps...

One thing I noticed when someone was doing an '06 -- don't think it was dale as he already had a problem even saying "Throttle Body Sync" at the time - - was... someone removed their tank on the '06. Don't remember why they did - but they took it off. I think the added ease of being able to...

Nope = wasn't trolling, but I should have been more clear - I meant Socket extension - not a cheater bar. I would think that there would be some torsional loss of torque when using an extension, but wasn't sure. intuitively - I would think that a short extension would present no problem at...

does adding an extension to a torque wrench appreciably change the torque application to whatever you are torqueing? Just wondering.

this information was posted on the LDRider list and cross posted to FJRlist - it is from Bill McAvan - who is the guy who you all bought the groupl buy lights from: folks upon arrival back in town from taking care of an unplaned day job assingment. i have found a few inquerys in reference to...

group rides most often are a pain. Others have stated many of the reasons - pace - distance - dependability - knowledge and confidence. Or lack of all the above. That stated - the local shop in Fresno (Fresno BMW) used to have some pretty fair group rides. Here is how they did it. first -...

I also thought that it was warmer with the vents open - but I've been wrong before. I propose a freekin test. I have a hand held digital thermometer. I will take said thermometer and place it next to the uppper part of the vent in both positions and give you a temperature. then it wont...

I have it - but have been lucky enough not to have to use it. You are right - you have to get the +RV coverage to get services on a bike. One word of warning - the AAA card needs to have this PRINTED on the card. Many providers will NOT pick you up without it. We had AAA send us cards 3...

Liked it. others have said - and I concur... up shifting was a little slow, but Turbo Dave says that if you flick the buttons instead of pressing or pulling on them that it shifts better. He told me that AFTER the test ride. We also know now that there is some adjustment capability in the...

What happens in vegas ----- stays in vegas, eh?

both mirrors are pretty solid on mine - however, I'm currently working on a '06 aux light bracket that could be used as a spacer to move the mirrors out a tad. What do you think? 3/4"? I don't know if they could be extended much beyond that witout looking sort of dorkie.

first of all - Congratulations and welcome to the Monkey House. second - nice meeting you at WFO5 third - nice write up - sounds like you had everthing under control fourth - I used to have (in my old bike - guess I will have to make them up for this one) some labels that I made up in the...

read the archive of wisdom - on click here for naked girls giving Saddle Sores a bad name if you ride the mapped route you will need to fully document your stops because there are LOTS of short cuts that I can see in there - just make sure you document all the turns.

1. as a two up bike, just how well do they work for touring ? haven't had the pillion ride for more than couple hundred miles - she was much less impressed than on my K12LT - but stated that a new seat was definitely in order. 2. Expecting to have to purchase a new seat to accomodate the...

Welcome to the Monkey house - you too Woodstock - obviously, you ride a bike better than you drive go karts !

BVH (Big Valley Honda) is a great shop - too bad they don't selll FJR's. When I lived in Reno I always shopped there first as they were awesome. Richie Thorwaldson (original owner was Rich Thorwaldson - former Suzuki team riders (back in the day), inventor, senior class road racer- who passed...

you're just mad because you got your head buffed by Cal24Master - Yeah --- I thought I had brought in THE sure fire ringer winner. My quote : paraphrased from Z when about 14 hours had passed on his SS1k riders.... "where in the hell ARE those guys.... don't they know they are going to miss...
