Service manual troubleshooting guide says swap coils and run for 5 seconds - if no code: fixed. Then replace coil and run for 5 seconds. If still issue, it goes right to ECU replacement.

Original coils had issues at about 40,000 miles. Replaced with new OEM - issues again at about 80,000 miles. Third set of new OEM coils and issues around 100,000 miles.

Correction: 033 is for coil #1, for some reason the service manual had 033 trouble code for #1, but diagnostic side has 033 for coil 4. I checked all 4 coils I have on the shelf and 4 on the bike. All primary and secondary resistances are within spec, but I understand that this is not...

At 101,000 miles - coil code is back I swapped #4 and #3 coils expecting the code to switch from 033 to 032 as it would with bad coil. It didn't, ran well for awhile then set 033 code again. I swapped coils randomly between all 4 cylinders and mixed in a couple older coils, still showing 033...

Just passed 100,000 miles on my current 2014 FJR

I tested the light on another trailer and worked fine (in the short test, at least)

Total weight is under 12 lbs. It can be disassembled at the two bolts on the coupler plate L side for tire replacement. That was a big consideration since I do my own tire changes. I had already spliced into my taillight wiring for the brake light modulator and have lots of experience doing...

Nice setup, looks like you used the back end of a motorcycle and attached at the rear tire axle. Steel or Aluminum for the hitch?

Wiring under the seat is complete, just need to split loom and tidy up the wires running down to the coupler.

Here's the "finished" hitch. Short test ride with all suspension on soft and not interferences. Tested with bike on side stand and weighting the back (and bouncing), no issues. Using a 1 7/8" ball for now, since need to ride to pickup the trailer and it currently has a ball coupler. I'll...

At least a couple of times, I've taken short trips with lots of weight in the top box. Generally, on the longer road trips, it's just clothes and laptop.

Yeah, didn't know about those until recently. That GIVI design is clever and certainly solves the issue by increasing the bending stiffness of the tail.

No, the angle of the photos don't show the clearance.

Getting the vertical supports to clearing the side bags and rear tire has been the most time consuming part.

Here are some photos of trailer hitch fabrication. Still need to disassemble, fully weld and paint, but gives a rough idea of the structure.

While getting bike ready for addition of trailer hitch, I notice cracks in the aft frame supporting the top bag. I believe this is a common problem. I'll TIG weld these up and lighten the load on the top bag. Fortunately, I've purchased a CM-1000 motorcycle trailer, so I am adding a trailer...

No issues since then, currently at approx 98,000 miles

Just did 450 miles on my new Road 6s. Handling is great, much improved over my very worn out (11,600 miles) Road 4 prior set.

Pretty common for both headlight low beams to go out about the same time. No matter what bulbs I use, seem to need replacing every 2-3 years.

Look's good.
