I was out there on the FJR in June with some friends. The walkout on the remaining bridge section was well done and even has a glass section that you can stand on and look down to see the trestle construction and height. I don't think the visitor centre was open while we there. Good roads in...

Where I live the Highway Safety Act doesn't allow coasting for any vehicle. 224. When travelling down grade, no driver of a vehicle shall cause the vehicle to coast with the gears of the vehicle in neutral or the clutch disengaged. R.S.P.E.I. 1974, Cap. H-6, s.209. I agree with Sporto that...

In 1975 I was primed to buy my first car and a coworker at a summer construction job had a 69 Plymouth Satellite silver with black interior 2 door 318 4 barrell. I was to pick it up on a Sat morning and when I got there Junior was in hospital and the car was toast. He took it out for a final run...

My 2cents says if the old battery is 5 years old and you have issues with starting, then the first thing to do is replace the battery. If the new battery solves the starting issue then you are good, If the symptoms continue you now know the battery is not the cause.

In 2014 I was in southern Ohio enjoying some of the local roads and came upon 3 big black birds, Turkey Buzzards I think in the middle of the road so I slowed down and they took off but one turned back and hit me on my shoulder at about 15-20mph. That was a solid hit but neither of us was hurt...

To quote Redfish Hunter: "I was unable to fit my riding "type" then or now into any of Fred's categories. My ST and my FJR to an even greater degree were both beasts of many burdens. I use my FJR as work transportation, shopping/errand running, sport riding foolishness, long distance touring...

Thanks, PM is on the way.

nkavanau, I would be interested in the pad. PM me what you want for it. I am in PEI postal code C0A 1Y0 , My trunk is cracked on the base and I am in the process of trying to do a repair by attaching a larger Stainless plate to the base. My trunk didn't come with the pad. Thanks

I have an 06 with 75,000km or 46,600 miles which last summer developed a rattling sort of noise from the lower right side when letting off the throttle. I replaced the cct over the winter with a green dot one as a precaution. We are just beginning to get into riding now and I have only done a...

bruin 3or4 years ago I had the same sliders and dropped the bike on the right side in soft New Hampshire ground and that slider snapped off at the bolt head. My frame was OK and I had slight scratches to the newly painted right saddlebag. Later that day dropped it again in a parking lot when my...

Thanks for all the ideas for shipping but it looks like I will have to pass on this trip at this time. Shipping quotes were $2-3000 and I don't have enough time to ride out and back. It now looks like I'll be joining some friends planning a trip in mid June heading down to see some NHRA drag...

Started doing some spring maintenance on the weekend. Replaced the CCT with a green dot one, tricky job to get the lower bolt back in and tightened but not impossible. Inspected the front calipers and found that there are strands of rubber coming out around the pistons, no leaks. Will need to...

Tried it with my mouse and was getting 26, to 32 yr old times, tried it using the space bar on the keyboard and consistently got "We're not sure if you're an actual human being" and that's with the sun in my eyes and right hand steering! Must be some type of delay in the mouse click. Good...

Thanks for the tips. I am not sure if this will happen but it won't hurt to look into it. Canadian FJR - I live just west of Charlottetown in Hampshire.

I have to go to Los Angeles around the end of May and was thinking of shipping the bike for the return trip. Any idea of shippers that could transport the FJR from Prince Edward Island, Canada to the city of angels? An alternative plan would be shipping it from Maine, which would probably be...

License plate appears to be from Ontario, Canada, looks like he's having fun.

You posted this on a FRIDAY! Stand back.

FWIW - Here is a link with pics of where I put the Oxford controller. It fits neatly on the left panel blank where the factory controller would go. Pictures are in post #14 (thanks to Mihalis fjr). I got the shorter grips on a clearance sale and made spacers to fill the 1/4" gap...

Had an 84 Yamaha Venture that lost 2nd gear due to a too soft thrust washer, Very common for those bikes. Yamaha changed the part # to a similar washer used in the VMax. I replaced the washer and undercut the dogs on second gear and put it back together. worst part was getting the engine out and...

In this part of Canada gas is $1.14/litre. Works out to $4.30/US gallon and factoring the exchange rate makes it closer to $5.40 . Boy, I wish I hadn't done that calculation. Gas prices in Canada are impossible to understand, A couple of years ago when crude oil was triple today's price we...
