I have not opened up that part of the bike at all. On my ZG-1000 Concours (1990), I worked on that bike pulling complete fairing off, etc. The FJR - nope. The only work I've personally don'e other than change oil, was pull the rear wheel at a Tech Day to lube the rear shaft spline. The only...

Rode to work on Thur, went out to garage that night to ride home but the bike wouldn't start. The engine turned over fine, even after extended attempts. Pushing the bike in gear indicated the engine was turning over. I thought I smelled the slightest waff of unburned gas. After a number of...

I have pictures, but no photo-sharing site, so PM with private email address so I can send you pictures. This does include a 90 degree valve stem. I'm not certain (as this '07 didn't work on my '08 so couldn't confirm), but I believe you could unmount your current rear wheel, move ABS sensor...

I prefer the tint as I prefer the reduced glare, and hasn't been an issue in night riding. I have the tinted Rifle and also always look over the screen. I had a tinted Rifle on my Concours for something close to 80K+ mi. So, I put a tinted Rifle on the FJR as soon as I got the FJR (almost 4...

I screwed up 2 years ago and didn't sell my spare '07 rear wheel (which doesn't work on my '08) [sorry Perry, my bad]. My post at the time requesting a trade never worked out, so it is time to sell the '07 ABS rear wheel. It is in excellent shape with all bearings, rotor, etc in place. I'll...

If you remember, I had an issue with a large service I had done with them, and getting the run-around by service for not done something they said they would (lubing the drive shaft). After multiple poor excuses by the service team why they weren't going to do what they said they would, I went...

My PR2 lasted longer than my set of PR3s, and the shop indicated that is what should be expected. The extra grooves are supposed to allow for better rain traction, but at the cost of longevity. With so little rain in SoCal, I went back to PR2s for a higher mileage tire

Rock Store closed mid-week :( but roads clear of squids on sportbikes, so got to enjoy the Las Flores, Mulholland, etc, and ate at Nepture on PCH instead. Actual route taken on Wed. ~290 miles fantastic weather and clear skies...

just an update I finally took my 2008 FJR in today to North County House of Motorcycles (Vista, CA) for tires, free oil change, and have the harness checked. I'm told mine is the first FJR they inspected that needed a whole new harness. for anyone taking notes - this is a 49 state model...

My front were wearing thin on the side with tread left in middle (all from commuting) - so I'd say the PR3 are as advertised, if a little soft on the sides, especially for a larger, heavier bike like the FJR Back when I first got my Concours and I rode the COG Western National ('96 I think it...

Got a small nail in the rear, and tire was near done, so decided to replace front and rear just to get it done with - that is 3 punctures in 2011, and none that I recall in the prior 20+ years/ 130k of riding.. argh Anyway 10k on rear wheel, and 11k on front PR3, and there was probably a...

Neil, do you have, or anyone who is attending, the appropriate grease to add to the rear-splines if required, or should I pick some up? If I do need to pick some up (I'm not at home to look at the service manual), would someone be so kind as to let me know what I need to get. Thanks in...

I'm curious if anyone who is attending has pulled the driveshaft to check the splines. Such was supposed to be done by the dealer on my recent service, but wasn't (in email said they would, now say they made a mistake and misunderstood my question :angry: Anyway, Dealer Service guide says...

I'm interested
