    Won't start in gear

    Well there's that too. Or since we're talking crazy you could give up motorcycling. 😜

    Won't start in gear

    It's better to use electronics contact cleaner than WD-40. Or something like ACF-50. That's why they make the stuff.

    More luggage options

    So you overpaid for Skog A Kust, a bag that does the same as the "no name cheap bags off Amazon". Hey what do you know, they're on Amazon too.

    What year Goldwing foot peg will fit 2023 FJR (with slight modification)? For rider foot peg, not passenger.

    I like to think I introduced GW pegs on the other forum. No cornering clearance issues whatsoever after 3 years with them. https://www.fjrowners.com/threads/larger-foot-pegs.153493/#post-1297567

    More luggage options

    Another believer in dry bags here. This is a 60 liter, a little bigger than I'd like but it is loaded with a TON of camping gear. I've downsized because I didn't like it against my back pushing me into the tank. And don't waste money on motorcycle specific bags, they're twice as costly. This...

    Excessive fuel consumptuon

    Irks me when someone asks for help and then never comes back. Like the guy who posted about his ABS engaging. We gave him all sorts of advice, which he side stepped and instead just kept bitching about it. Said he was taking it to his mechanic and never came back. My feelings aren't hurt but...

    Excessive fuel consumptuon

    What do you consider "excessive"? What are your MPG numbers? Are you going by the dash readout or are you actually doing the miles ridden divided by gallons used? Highway miles? Local? As they say, it's all in the wrist.

    Tire sealant? Roadside flat fix

    If you use one of those tire sealants in a can, whoever mounts your next tire will hate you. That stuff is like spray glue and gums up everything on the rim/wheel. Don't be surprised if the shop wants to charge you extra.

    I rode my new FJR home from the dealer today - Clunk/rattle!/lower fairing issue?

    That's definitely an issue. es there are fasteners that supposed to be there.

    I rode my new FJR home from the dealer today - Clunk/rattle!/lower fairing issue?

    ^^^^ This. Everything from the upper triple clamp on down. Fender, brake hoses... everything.

    Fjr regestry

    What's the purpose of this thread? Nobody is entering a VIN number. Is someone just gonna keep track of how many of each year posted? And why post pics, every FJR owner pretty much knows what one looks like. LOL I just don't get it.

    My guess is somebody else will help you.

    ABS rear brakes engaging

    So I'm guessing you did not disassemble, clean and lube the brake lever and it's hardware. Or check the fluid level. Or acknowledge a FULL THOROUGH flush, by the proper procedure? You're asking for help but not acknowledging if you've done the things suggested. Did you try accelerating up to...

    ABS rear brakes engaging

    What Ross said... disassemble, clean and lube the brake lever and it's hardware. Ensure the pedal return spring is good. And a FULL, thorough flush including ABS pump.

    Question: Can any Gen 3 owners check the rear fender saddlebag covers for me

    Not entirely true. The fronts are marked FR, the rear ones RR.

    Question: Can any Gen 3 owners check the rear fender saddlebag covers for me

    As mentioned elsewhere... the 3rd underside set is #39 in the diagram. The top front 2 are the same (#37), the top rear2 are the same (#38) and the underside 2 are the same. 3 distinct sets.
