Good to hear from you Dave and that your back in the saddle. I too wish you and everyone a very merry Christmas and blessed new year ahead. Ride safe, Painman.

I'm not computer savvy that much but I got the same error notice last night when trying to access the forum on the I-pad one time. I tried again and it worked as normal. So don't think brand is the issue. Don't know if it had anything to do with any upgrading on the forum end. :unsure: Anyway...

OK, I'll jump in. Hadn't had the 06 very long and joined up with the nor-cal group for a nice ride over the famous route 36 going the east to west route. It was still o'dark thirty and I was finishing strapping down my gear in front of our motel in Red Bluff planning to meet up with the rest of...

I like this thread. Tim is smiling down and is glad his bike is in good hands. PM. ;)

Very nice ride and congrats on the special paint package. Our new CMA chapter president rides a 2010 and riding behind him diffidently puts a new twist on group riding. Pun intended. Lol. I sat on one at Infenion raceway when they first came out and was surprised at actually how comfortable the...

Coming off a different type of bike when I purchased my 06 FJR I remember similar concerns as you but after getting use to the bike soon realized there was no problem. And unless the bike had a ton of miles I would in no way change any thing unless it's broke. Hope this helped. Ride safe and...

Old concept wrapped in a new package. I prefer my 44 mag loaded with OO buckshot, 3 balls per round. Really wicked round. Also like the Remington Tactical 870 all dressed up. Kicks like a mule and hits like a ton of lead. PM. :ph34r:

WC, first off congrats on the most premium 2013 FJR. Been watching this thread with interest and enjoy the comments and feedback. Concerning the 10-40w oil you probably already know, about "no one" is carrying this weight oil any more in any brand. Since I use this weight oil in all my...

Good one on ya Ken! Nothing like getting back in the saddle for some good therapy. I've been dealing with chronic arthritis forever and as painful as it is, nothing like a good ride to sooth the mind and soul. Never give up and stay safe and have fun. PM. ;)

Bump

Nice catch Ray, you oughta least get a forum tee shirt for that! One million is allot of garble. PM. B)

I could paint my FJR ugly green and I'd have one of them green vehicles. Or we could just keep the current pres and just stay home and live off food stamps. But if you really want to survive to and from work is leave the bicycle and the motor cycle home what with all the crazies trying to kill...

Rich, glad no one was hurt and bikes can be replaced. Though I have the better blue on my 06 I always liked the 07 color as well. I read in your other post you wouldn't go into debt to buy another bike and I might add this is a smart move. My wife and I completed the Dave Ramsey program and in...

As mentioned lucky it didn't turn out alot worse! The day I rode my new 06 home from the dealer I found the front axel nut hanging on by only two threads.....needless to say I checked "every" fastener I could on the bike. It's now part of my regular maintainence. Doing your own work is well...

Ah come on Fred, not to be intimidated by the fact a HD can compare horsepower with our beloved FJR. While that figure is not offered from HD from the factory floor, it is possible for one to obtain the 145 HP figure without nitrous, but that is a wonderful idea. But there are some great parts...

Again, many great responses here. Annnnd the only thing I can add is what my experience has been. First, came from riding dirt for many years and purchased a Softtail Harley that I still own and love. I do suffer with chronic arthritis of the spine and shouldn't even be on a bike but what the...

OK I'll bite. I think you might be referring to the addictive high pitch whirring sound that motors make usually in the range of 7 or so thousand rpm's and up. Usually a crotch rocket style bike or Indy style race car. Music to my ears! PM. ;)

Guess I'll just back off the preload adjustments, loosen the top tree bolts and hopefully the caps will unthread enough to check the fluid levels by tipping the bike forward to check the fluid levels. I'm almost certain I lost enough fluid that I need to top it off. My concern is not knowing if...

I always hate to here of this. Prayers and best wishes. PM.

I've searched on this but no luck. I recently went on a trip and on the way home developed a leaking oil seal on the right fork leg that seemed to have caused enough fluid loss that I feel needs to check the fluid level with the other leg. I would just take the forks off but had a complete...
