Not common that I know of, but you have proved the old saying "if you can't fix it with a hammer, it's a electrical problem."

Signed.

And when you buy a helmet get a good one. https://www.hdforums.com/articles/good-helmet-deal-isnt/ Hope the link works, not a scientific study but It gets the point across.

I agree, sometimes KISS is best.

The BMW uses 2 links to locate the rear diff. These 2 links create a virtual swing arm whose length and center can be ascertained by drawing a center line through each link as seen in the side view. Where these 2 lines cross is the center of the virtual swing arm. By playing with the relative...

FYI, the dyna family and the touring family use's a rubber mounted "a" engine (no counterbalance), the soft-tail family uses's a solid mounted "b" engine (counterbalanced). By the way I too had a 1980 Suzuki GS 1000e. Loved the bike, just had to put up with stators frying and cheap fasteners.

Let me play the devils advocate. I have ridden Japanese big four bikes my whole riding life, starting with a 1964 Yamaha 80 and ending with a 2007 FJR. I switched to Harley last year. I like the harley, I like how it put together and the fact that it is, for me, easier to live with. I don't...

Unbelievable, I can't change my mind that fast.

I doubt the shims are case hardened. The cam rides on the buckets so the buckets would be case hardened. The shims are just spacers between the buckets and the valve stems with no relative movement between parts.

I had some issue with the heat on a hot trip down south https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php/topic/131460-first-trip-on-the-feejer/. I was wearing riding boots but only blue jeans, slow cooked my left leg just above the boot. If I did another trip in hot country I would definitely wear a...

Your country sure has a lot of bumps on it, beautiful pictures.

Wouldn't touch it, looks like a lightning bolt coming out of the FJR 1300 sticker....kinda neat.

I wouldn't go that far.

I was in the Navy from 71 to 75. I spent 2 years on the Enterprise home ported in Alameda, and spent 6 months in Bremerton in dry dock. During this time I had a Kawasaki 750 triple 2 stroke. I spent my free time riding all over with multiple weekends spent in Yosemite. Just before heading...

I'll be missing another tech day. Threatening rain all day and the grand kids are spending the weekend. Y'all play second fiddle to Chase and Xander.

If it's your left side rotor, isn't this the one linked with the rear brakes? Do you see the same tendencies with the rear brake pedal? Never mind my bad. Right side is the linked side.

No.

If the weather isn't too nasty I might show up Saturday, bike is way down on power and feels like it's only running on 2 cylinders,.....oh wait I forgot I bought a Harley. Might show up anyway if I can remember where Bust's house is.

I live about a half mile down Cedar Island Rd from Lakeland. As a retired auto designer turned school bus driver in the winter, I visit Lakeland often.

I joined a few years ago when I purchased my FJR. Spent a lot of time going through old posts and learned a lot about my bike and what to expect. While I no longer have the bike I still visit the forum, I enjoy being the proverbial fly on the wall listening to (reading) the back and forth...
