    Sold Aerostich R-3 $900

    Nice. If only it was the correct size for me. I love my Stitch one piece suits. So much so that I have four of them, my first almost completely worn out and about to me retired. I love how I can remove the suit and be in jeans and looking like a normal person at lunch stops and such. Plus...

    Bought a Penske Rear Shock

    Interesting. 700# spring on an FJR is pretty low. I get the compliance thing, but still...... How much do you weigh?

    Sold 2015 FJR 1300A

    If it's a Kali FJR, it has the charcoal canister.

    Has anyone else here ever added a suspending pin to their MC Enterprises Canyon Cages to ease front end maintenance?

    There is no worry using the headers as support. Says a lot of fellers smarter than me. And I have used them dozens of times over the years. Including removing forks about a dozen times. And every front wheel change...... But, if you want to overengineer things to be more complicated than...

    Hi there, I need help and am new

    Yup. First thing to try is to crank with throttle wide open. That *should* do the trick.

    Your issue is that the ABS pump has some frozen spool valves. It was a fairly common occurrence on the Gen I ABS system. Much less common on Gen 2 and on. There's nothing you can do about it. It is not repairable. The prevailing theory on preventative measures is to flush the brake system...

    Front brake pad pins

    I've stripped one of mine twice. They suck! The first one a mechanic in Italy took care of it. I heard lots of banging! The second was just recently. Once again I was hammering the sh*t out of it. I think I was hammering in a torx bit to get a bite. Maybe added heat too. I can't remember...

    Fueling Issue Poll

    You can always ride down here to Phoenix and we'll swap out one my good fuel tank/fuel pumps to see if that fixes it. That way, verify, or eliminate one cause of the problem.

    Fueling Issue Poll

    Your battery shouldn't be getting weak in one year. Or two. Unless it is a POS battery. I suspect there is something wrong with your charging system. What volts is it at with engine running?

    You are not being clear. When you turn press the start button, does the starter operate and turn over the engine, but it just wont start? Or, the starter and motor aren't even turning? Don't jump to conclusions. It's probably something simple.

    Fueling Issue Poll

    I would definitely start with the CA evap system. However, I am not convinced that is your problem. In one of the other FJR sandboxes there has been a years long effort to fix a surging 2013 FJR. Recent success came with replacing the fuel pressure regulator located in the fuel pump. Read...

    Motorcycle For Sale New Leftover 2023 FJRs in West Virginia

    It took them a while to sell them. Longer than I would have thought. I got my '23 from Romney back in May. Needless to say I paid a wee bit more than you. But it was still priced aggressively for that time. Which is why I flew from Phoenix and rode it home. Great dealer!

    Final drive tools

    Or..... the ultimate high speed tourer: Gen II+ with it's lower gear ratio middle gears, Venture FD gearing in the pumpkin, and a car tire installed!

    Final drive tools

    No idea. Like you, I knew the driveshaft was different but when I went to the parts diagrams the actual final drive assembly has different part numbers between Gen I and Gen II.

    Your '06 FJR doesn't match up to Gen I final drive or driveshaft part numbers......

    Damn! I didn't know the fellow who did these passed. That is unfortunate. I just got a cheap FD off ebay to have this mod done. Now, I am bummed. There's nobody else doing it?
