    2016 no turn signals/hazards

    Okay, sports fans: After pulling off every possible piece of plastic except the left side panel and the nose piece, I had my wife help me look at the darn thing. She is a whiz at finding stuff like this. But not this time. Then I remembered the time was wrong on the clock. It had said 1:00...

    2016 no turn signals/hazards

    I just did a valve check on my 2016. Now I have a 'check engine light', which I asked about in a separate thread... Now - I just took a ride, and I have no turn signals front or rear, or hazard lights... which may be the reason for the trouble light (I haven't got the tools to read and reset...

    Diag Mode 2016 model

    Okay, I give up. I just did a valve check (no changes needed), put the beast back together, and now the Engine Trouble light is on. I tried holding the TCS and RESET buttons and turning the switch to ON, holding the buttons for what seems an inordinate amount of time (30 seconds), and nothing...

    Aux fuel bulkhead fitting

    I just moved my auxiliary fuel tank from mu '08 to my '16. In service to the community, I offer this info: Bulkhead fitting and 'L' barb fitting were purchased from Grainger, which has a facility here in Tampa. You order online and pick up locally, or have it shipped to you: Anchor Coupling...

    Gen 2 CCT replacement, Drain Oil?

    Nothing behind that cover, so just pull it off. I bought a long VERY thin screwdriver at Ace Hardware to make the CCT/valve adjust process easier. It slips nicely alongside the frame member to release the tension without drama.

    Valve check... Should I leave well enough alone or dig in

    Checking the valves is easy, and safe to do. Nothing complicated that has to be 'carefully' removed/replaced. If you have to replace a shim, it becomes a bit scarier, but not too bad, since you have to unbolt stuff and tie-wrap stuff.

    Windshield bolts: scary ride yesterday

    My only caveat about the screws is: If your screen encounters something in a tip over (especially in the garage when you don't have the side stand fully extended), a metal screw will break the windshield; plastic screws will shear and leave your windshield unbroken. DAMHIK.

    Battery charging voltage

    I would pull the connector from the r/r and clean it. Then put dielectric grease on it. Sometimes it is just a bad connection at the r/r.

    Skene wiring

    Fred - you're right. The purple wire was added on - it actually tied into the yellow factory wire. I may look into the admore solution in the future. It looks pretty tidy.

    Skene wiring

    I just took my Skene P3 brake lights off my 2008 FJR, and am going to put them on the new-to-me 2016 FJR. So, my question is: there are three wires from the Skene controller (IQ160), Black (ground), Red(12V switched), and white (brake light). On the 2008, they went to black, red and purple...

    Power to GIVI topbox

    I may try the RV port Brian shows, and combine it with the multiple SAE cords under the seat trick. I seldom take the top box off, but like everything else, if you can't take it off easily, Fate will ensure that you need to take it off frequently. Bseelbach: I have used one of those 'push...

    Power to GIVI topbox

    Okay, I need power in my topbox for recharging phones, et al, and I need to put a light in there for seeing stuff at night. I have a fuse box under the seat that I will draw power from. I need ideas on what to put into the topbox. Should I just run an SAE connector up through the bottom of the...
