    Irritants

    Some of those BRP sight seers that refuse to let people go past.

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    Like 08FJR4ME WynPro Dave, I had the heated grips on high for the mid 20's commute to work. I need to check the grip's program settings, they may have 'summer' settings. The traffic was unusually light the whole way to work, it was really odd. As people trickled into work an hour or two late...

    06 Dash Pinout

    Indeed, the pin out info is in the schematic at the back of the FSM. There is no listing of pins, you have to read the schematic and figure it out on your own. 1) the communications between the ECU and the meter assembly is serial, you would have to tap into the serial bus and decode the...

    New Knee for Christmas

    Good advice, but it sounds like BJSD's doc choice has been set for a while. One of the reasons Pillion went to New England Baptist in Boston is because they have one of the lowest orthopedic surgical infection rates in the nation. New England Baptist: "...our performance on nationally...

    AimExpo - Police crash bars for FJR

    The T-Rex bag protector bars do impact passenger foot space and ease of ingress/egress a small amount. In the EOM picture of the '15 you can see that the passenger pegs have been relocated, moving the pegs both forward and down pretty much taking the bag bars out of the picture.

    New Knee for Christmas

    Another good luck and hoping for a great outcome. Pillion had her knee done in Dec and that worked out for her and she was ready to ride by May which was the plan. She had one of the best surgeons in the country do the deed. By a few weeks after surgery she had better than 90° movement for...

    Cylinder wall thickness

    Turbo or supercharging the deal is a thicker head gasket and leave the bore and stroke as it is. The FJR's thin top pistons probably can't be replaced by dished pistons.

    Turn & Hazard fuse failure

    If all you did was cut and solder back together the same wires and didn't damage any other nearby wires in the process, the soldering is not your problem. Ground wires don't short and cause fuses to blow. It is very, very rare for a relay to fail in a way that causes shorting within the relay...

    Can You See Me Now?

    At least in this case we were following the OP and not drifting the thread.

    2015 owners with OEM top case

    For not a lot of $$$ Garauld can fix the color issue if black isn't gonna cut it for you. If you order the top case, have it delivered to Garauld for painting. Would shipping between Canada and NY be a major issue? Seems that I recall it could be.

    Can You See Me Now?

    Half way there, the shared folder link works and people can click onto the album but the file name doesn't end in the allowed extensions so it can't be shown in the Forum. Some people don't find Photobucket intuitive at first but it does brute force work and is a 'throw-away' host if it doesn't...

    Can You See Me Now?

    Google is an unfriendly place for sharing photos with the Forum. Places like Photobucket do a better job, just be sure that your picture links end in .jpg, bmp, gif, png -- must be thee characters after the . (jpeg won't fly) and nothing more after the three characters. Also, the sharing site...

    Lane Splitting Bill introduced in New Hampshire

    I did take advantage of lane splitting around the SF area, some people even made provisions to help us split. What I liked best was the 'go to the front of the line' at road construction and other obstructions. Next time you are in New England, take some time and observe the traffic. I think...

    Coolant Leak

    Does this mean that the Gen III TB rack no longer has a coolant actuated wax motor? I assume that the wax motor went away with the fly-by-wire TB system. Since the wax motor has never been mentioned in any previous FSM the only way to tell for sure is to use an inspection mirror, flashlight...

    Is Cruise Control Consistent

    I have had my '15 cruise set above the '13 limit but I can really see where the desert SW could really use the cruise above the '13 limit more than the rest of the country. Not intending to nitpick what Fred sez, but will add that the AudioVox has a digital processor which controls an analog...

    Coolant Leak

    ^^^^ There are test kits for combustion gases in the coolant. BTDT with cars.

    AimExpo - Police crash bars for FJR

    Bird, I don't know if you intentionally double posted this about the crash bars or if the Admins split off this thread. This is a copy of my reply to your inquiry in the '17 Raven thread. Those look similar to the MC Enterprises Canyon Cage bars, MC has different style cages which look a little...

    Is Cruise Control Consistent

    A correctly installed Murph's, Rostra, McCruise or equivalent electronic cruise control work just as good as a car cruise with no issues or quirky behavior. You may have read some issues with installs, but once installed these cruise controls work very good and you will probably wonder how how...
