    changing center fork bushing in 2008 FJR

    I'll second the don't overtorque! I snapped my cartridge by doing just that. I didn't use a tool, just doubled up two nuts on the damper rod and held with combo wrench while torquing cartridge bolt. I was shocked at how easily it snapped. I didn't make the same mistake again. I've rebuilt two...

    Goodbye Trusty FJR, hello Super Tenere

    I have both and I agree for long mile days tip the scales toward the FJR. Tenere gets less MPGs,requires premium and has less range. Tenere is real smooth unless the engine is under load accelerating, pulling a hill or head wind. I enjoy the wind protection of the FJR until I figure out a...

    Mileage on pr2

    I guess if you live somewhere there aren't corners to carve you'll get some life out of a PR2. Those of us that grind pegs wear 'em out.

    Dealership blows top end

    Sucks to hear this man, It could be possible a cam or the crank is a tooth off? I think that would definitely cause some vibes. Mine has always seemed vibey at 80MPH or above which is approaching 5K RPM. If it didn't do it before it would be reasonable to assume they didn't hook something up...

    I took my FJR to a Harley dealer open house party yesterday

    FWIW, my father has ridden bikes for over 30 years including 5 years as a motor officer on Harleys. He now owns a Road Glide, the first and only Harley he has owned, 2008 with 45K miles and he is in his mid 60s. He has never had an issue with the bike which I surely can't say about my FJR in its...

    Making the FJR feel like my VTX

    Um, I wonder if my Yammie Raider would lock the rear with a flat. Might let the air out just to see.

    My first SS1000

    Congrats on the SS1K. I've ran mine to 300 miles/tank. With 40 something miles on the reserve. I was high altitude so I was lucky to be going down the mountain and not up!
