Throttle bodies are pretty straightforward to synchronize and are covered in great detail in the tech forum. I am a bit surprised that the dealer would not honor your request under warranty. The barbarian jumper mod is another quick trick to get your bike to improve it's low speed throttle...

DB, You weigh in at 110 pounds soaking wet or there abouts???? :P That's also a very real factor in your shock's life span! :rolleyes:

Thanks for extending your GB offer Vancosport, 2 more kits are on order.

I'm in for one, too! Instead of the proposed FJRforum.com logo on top of the foot plate, how about ................................. "Engage first gear". For those folks who might need that helpful nugget of advice! <_<

Ethan, I believe that a couple of forum members are capable machinists that manufacture parts for the group from time to time (Skyway comes to mind). May I suggest you try to contact such a forum member and offer him your "prints/design) so that they may offer the floorboards to the group...

Sid, Have you looked at an '07 Wee Strom/ABS? For a returning rider the ABS option should give you a greater piece of mind. I have a DL1000 as well as a DRZ400S that I also enjoy, but, if I was to get another Strom, it would definitly be the 650, for it's fun factor, and lighter weight. It...

Remember......................................................... Only twisting the RIGHT grip makes you go faster! :P

Whoa Trigger, :P Keep a watchful eye on the results of this post: https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php?showtopic=13174

Those posts may work well in lowering your feet and uncramping your knees a bit. :clapping: Don't forget to make the correct corresponding changes in the position of your brake and shift levers. What I really like about them is the ability to adjust the horizontal distance between your...

Thanks for your help Rich, I'm sure we will all benefit from your extra effort. I too use my '05 FJR for the really long trips (lots of gear/ or wife) and my XX for everything else.

OK, sorry to have posted in the wrong section earlier. :glare: Rich, I spoke to him a couple of hours ago. You might want to ask him the details yourself. BTW, the Bagster covers are the ones that loosen up (according to forum members). The Second Look piece seems to have a very snug and...

Wasn't that the signature color of the Honda Rune a few years back? :huh: They didn't sell too many of them if I recall correctly.

Hi folks! I have just ordered a couple of embroidered tank bras (full and half) from Roger of Second Look ((800) 566 5753) from the CBR1100XX forum GB (WC has a couple on order, too). Roger has currently patterned an '06 FJR for a full tank bra as well as a half skin. In our discussions, he...

I have Corbin saddles on some of my bikes, but I purchased a Sergeant for my '05 FJR. It is very similar in appearance to the Corbin seat. I purchased the optional electric seat heating element (I know, WHAT was I thinking?), and the passenger slip-in backrest (makes my wife feel much more...

I had a DL1000 that I gave to my younger brother(after I lowered it for him). He likes it a lot but has set his sights on my '05 FJR (I might have to buy an '07 to accomodate his request). It really is a great bike and the 650 is probably a better bike for him. The wind protection is not as...

I was thinking of getting one for my son to take to college in his freshman year. The campus police don't care if they park them on the sidewalks near the bike racks. It looks like he can go all semester on one tankfull. The bike should start every time with the EFI. I just need to know if...

Why the KTM orange? I haven't seen anyone comment about the front reflectors either. :( Didn't we see something like this in the movie "TRON".

As long as they are using a "Down Under" engine design, they might as well incorporate a barbeque grill for a primary cover. Might as well have appetizers cooking while they go bar hopping! :cheffsmiley:

Rad, For the sake of better aerodynamics, as well as purely aesthetic reasons, you gonna change some of those FUGLY fasteners to stainless buttonhead bolts, K? :blink: You wanna match the rest of the fairing bolts, don't you? :P

I would imagine that the net effect of the top case high up in the air stream is similar to a "wing" or tail spoiler/drag chute. It probably acts in a way to add some down force or drag towards the rear of the bike, with the fulcrum effect lightening up the front end. This is in addition to...
