+1 on going to doctor if pains persist. Don't be a hero, it's better to be sure nothing more serious is going on. Besides if it's only contusions the Doc may perscribe Percocets. :yahoo: Yeah, now we're talkin' Get well quick!

That blue wire is the constant power for the tail light ( a perect source for the relay). The yellow wire becomes "hot" only when you apply the brakes.

Alex, I now have an 08 after previously owning an 06. They are identical.

You state that you have 600 miles on the 08 but fail to state if the bike has been in for it's 600 mile service. This is a critical maintenance service where many aspects of the bike are checked (if serviced properly). This tranny problem should be pointed out to the service manager upon...

That's a very neat & clean installation. Just like it should be. :yes:

Glad you & your bike are OK. Weather forecasters should be shot & quartered. :assassin:

Thank you Tom for the additional info. I plan on adding a Zumo real soon & your info seals the deal. :rolleyes:

It's great to hear you got your bike back & will be riding as soon as the weather permits. Take it easy getting your riding legs back. Many safe miles may you travel. :rolleyes:

I had the Scorpio Alarm on my 06 & it installs easily & never gave me a problem. My recommendation. B)

Sweet Ride Tom. Many safe miles may you travel. Did you also install satellite radio?

As a former owner of a brand new 06 & a current owner of an 08 I feel the need to share my experience. The 06 in stock form was absolutely driving me nuts with the on/off throttle response. I chose the simple way first by way of Barbarian mod with a +7 enrichment across all cylinders. While...

YES!....It feels so good to have an FJR again, & to be riding again since having the 06 totaled. The 08 feels exactly like my 06 (DUH..I know ...it is basically the same bike) but with a much easier throttle pull. If you rode both bikes that is the obvious change that stands out. Only put 27...

I too believe in the hyperlite brake lights even though they didn't help me (I wasn't braking at the time) when I was rear ended by a 79 year old man. Just glad your OK!

Mike could you post a pic of your setup? (Or PM me)It sounds like an ideal setup. I already have & love my Nelson-Rigg & I'm ordering the autocom soon. It might be a more convienient alternative to mounting it permanently on the bike.

As a former owner of an 06 FJR, my recommendation to any 06 or 07 owner who is experiencing a clunking/hard to shift tranny is to change to synthetic oil. It will shift like butter & you will only need to change the oil once a year! It's cheaper than buying an 08!

Congrats Tom....many safe miles may you & your new ride enjoy together! You now have given me hope that I may get mine before the end of the year. I was pretty sure I wouldn't receive delivery before January...now I have new hope! Please post pics soon!

I was the one who first put the Honda heated grips on an 06 FJR, not Warchild (he gets upset if you get us confused). I usually set the grips on 2 and that is more than enough to keep my hands comfy. The flashing on the controller usually stops while you are riding...mine does it when I first...

Jim, Glad your as OK as you are. Heal well! Heal fast! I just received my Crash Club Sticker....here's yours:

I agree it is surprising that the ST beats the Concours, but when you think about real world sport touring the Honda is probably the most well balanced sport tourer. It is powerful, comfortable, reliable. I have spent extended time riding my buddy's ST & it is all that. That is what Honda does...

Motovation Sliders! I've tested them in a tip over & a crash...did their job & held up so well they will be on my new 08! Shoot.... I order sooo much stuff that Vinnie (my UPS delivery man) & I know each other by name & he even stops by a second time in one day if he misses me in the morning...
