    CCT removed seems to function ok in my hand

    There is a lot of push from the original part, but more from the new one. It makes all the difference. The part I removed before installing the "blue dot" CCT was fine, but it let the chain flog just like yours. Once you put in the new part you will notice the difference. I don't think you...

    My daughter and son in law got the pic of the day from Idaho.

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    I should have changed my tires. I did this instead...

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    I see this has become a popular response... Obviously many are jealous that I still ride a superior Gen I.

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    No problem...can you hold my beer? Seriously, it would be great to see you, and I'd welcome your help!

    Split: Engine temp affected by radiator guard-screen?

    Not so much as losing the coolant.

    I'll let you know if I regret the decision.

    FJR Radiator

    Objects can be thrown up by other vehicles, and the radiator has been vulnerable to being "holed" in the past. I think a screen is a wise investment. The fender extension is mainly for paint protection in the lower front fairing, but what gets your radiator rarely comes from your own front...

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    In PA we're required to get inspections, and mine is due. Took the bike to Hillview Motor Sports and they failed the bike without charging me...not enough tire tread. So I have some replacements in the garage I'll put on, but I was thinking I had some more time on these. Not looking forward...

    Beautiful 2005 FJr (non-abs) for sale - SOLD

    So it has come to this...I guess I'll just keep mine. Nice bike. GLWS

    What to look for in an 05 FJR ABS purchase.

    A ticker is very unlikely, but having timing chain slap on deceleration means the CCT needs a refresh. The only other thing that happens with frequency is a failure in the rear ABS block. You can either do the diagnostic, or jump on the bike and stomp on the rear brake. The ABS activation is...

    Stop Whining About Your Local Drivers

    And yet, here is an article about Pittsburgh drivers being worst. https://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2017/04/26/pittsburgh-drivers-worst/ My guess is that if you look for it, almost any city can rank worst for its drivers. The bad ones seem to get around.

    Hostage of Photobucket

    i DELETED my PB account with over 11,000 photos, many of which were posted to forums or used in "how-to" threads. All can be replaced, but the links are now permanently broken. Was I too hasty? I don't tolerate having my chain yanked lightly.

    The Motorcycle Industry is Dying - Bloomberg

    It just seems a motorcycle is of no interest at any price. Both the new and used markets show this. The problem is not based on economics, but interests. The way things are going, the interest in private ownership of automobiles is even declining. There are significant prerequisites to...

    Hostage of Photobucket

    I agree Tapatalk may not be the best, or even a good answer, but eventually platforms will at least work with mobile or have more limited participation. At least when I'm on the road it makes posting easy. I don't view the site other than to use it that way, and I suspect it won't be long...

    Hostage of Photobucket

    Iggie, this forum has resisted compatibility with Tapatalk for a long time, but they do host images without cost and make posting from remote locations on a mobile device a cinch. It might be time to reconsider this forum's adversity to mobile devices. The days of laptops and desk computers are...

    Hostage of Photobucket

    I have a lot of photos on the Bucket. They are still there for now. If linking is no longer an option, the loss is to the forums, not me. I have many years of photos there, but have never relinquished the full resolution images from my hard drive and several backups. Everythng on PB can be...

    What Generation are 2016 and 2017 FJRs?

    I have called it a Gen 4 since it was introduced, and was called out for that by Ignacio. Nevertheless, I stick with my first call and the current bikes are Gen 4; however all FJRs are evolutionary and the lines between generations may be blurry to some.
