    Engine knocking on an 08

    Power Commander 3 -- as in, III, 'eye-eye-eye' :)

    Radar Detectors

    V1, never let me down. Just remember, when you see 'em with laser guns, you're screwed. Slow down or pay. No R/D out there will help you with laser.

    BMW Handgrips

    Grip puppies. Cheaper, and they come right off if you hate them. :)

    Engine knocking on an 08

    PCIII fixes it. BTDT. Someone get Ed a gold star. :) I don't know if the explanation is right, but, it did seem to be a lean condition. Edit: oh, and on the 08, the CO levels apparently don't work like they used to. Mine were all zeroes, and changing them (even to an extreme) did nothing.

    Summer Heat

    Take the car. If you're concentrating on how miserable you are, you're not concentrating on riding.

    Farkling begins

    I find their gear selection lacking. Might check NewEnough...

    Good things come to those who wait...

    I found a similar deal from this forum on my 08. His loss, my gain! Now, go forth and sacrifice rubber at the altar of twisties. :)

    A couple of newbie questions

    1) Some backrests push the passenger too far forward. Lots of good has been written about the Yammy box with backrest... if Givi, you might skip it and rig something else. 2) I hate to sound like a BMW dealership, but you're riding it wrong. :) -- Seriously, the upright position requires you...

    The FJR Lives!!!

    Sell the XX, part out the 04 and find a nice 06. Something with alot of miles on it should fetch a low price, when we know they run forever with proper care. I'm with willy on this -- that 04 don't like you man! :)

    Tire Pressure in Hot weather

    What about helium? Will that make the bike lighter? Anyone know what oil to use? Friday comes earlier every week.

    Renew AMA?

    While you're renewing, you should look at MoTow if you don't have a good towing package with insurance or other.

    Non FJR's welcome?

    I think some different bikes would be neat to have around. You can only look at FJR's so long..... "wow, it's, uhh... red. and that one is ... wow, black. can we ride now?"

    Installing PCIII

    1) Hook up PC3 to your computer. Download whichever map you want, and install to PC3. 2) Install PC3 on bike, follow their instructions. 3) Beer:30 Edit: this is the simple way for initial setup. If you want to change maps, you'll need a laptop (or some way to USB into the computer). Remember...

    Hyosung GV650?

    Used Magna, it'll last longer than a normal starter bike and can be found cheap. They run forever, and really only falter with the weak rear drum brake.

    Wild Bill Highway Pegs Strike Again

    Glad you're ok, sucks about the bike. This is exactly what happened to my buddy who tossed his bike because of those stupid pegs. His scrape marks looked almost exactly like yours, 70-80mph. Not a scratch on him, totaled FJR. +1 on the advise: take 'em off the bike, or be damn sure you don't...
