    ABS Light / MC Cruise

    Well you might be on to something. Mine was definitely stuck in the on position when I checked. Thanks for the heads up.

    TBS question on 08

    I have that same odd clunking sound for a few seconds when my '08 is first started. I get an occasional hiccup during this period and an occasional stall if I try to blip the throttle (seems lean). Fast idle circuit does not seem to be up to speed either. This poor behavior is somewhat...

    ABS Light / MC Cruise

    Good post. I have an MCCruise installed on my '08 (don't have it calibrated yet). I noticed that if I make a reasonably fast stop from around 50 mph or so, the ABS warning light begins to flash. I can shut the key and restart the bike and the flashing will then stop. Interesting to hear...

    McCruise Control Installation

    Yep, looks pretty much like the installation on my '08. The only difficult part was attaching the throttle cable to the throttle linkage. I made life much easier by removing the airbox and associated throttle body boots to gain easy access to the linkage. This only takes about 10 minutes with...

    Inexpensive front end stand that works great

    You can also rotate the legs 90 degrees to flatten it out and lean it against the wall, should you be tight on space.

    Real tire pressure monitoring

    I have 2 Smarttire systems installed on some of my bikes. They do work well though I had to make some minor mods to the battery contacts in the display to get them to work consistently. The temps are in centigrade. They do come with nice billet aluminum 90 degree valve stems. The batteries...

    Inexpensive front end stand that works great

    The only problem I can see with this approach is 1. There might be a clearance issues trying to put board and a floor jack under the plastics of a bike. :unsure: 2. The questionable stability of the lifted bike. I would be quite nervous working underneath a bike with this sole device...

    Inexpensive front end stand that works great

    This is a very useful piece of equipment that is very easy to make. I added split foam pipe wrap to the uprights to protect the bike's finish. With the use of a ratchet strap and some soft ties, you can easily lift some of the heaviest bikes! https://www.fjr1300.info/howto/pipestand.html...

    Small problem installing factory heated grips on a 2008

    I was in the process of installing a bunch of farkles on my '08 and have come up on a little problem. The factory kit includes a new throttle cable housing that is enlarged to accommodate the electrical grip wiring internaly (unlike my "05 factory kit). Upon installing the little hold down tab...

    ABS Brake Test

    A rain soaked parking lot would test your ABS system adequately. :nhl: Be very careful and wear your safety gear!

    Moosehead's Highway Pegs

    Nice chunk of aluminum machining! :clapping: 3-1/2 more questions, 1. Did you cover up too much of the bodywork opening, causing a reduction of air circulation through the fairing and elevated engine temps on warm days/slow traffic? 2. Can you machine a small nub or hook on the top of the...
