    Block off plate work around

    Block off plates? Grey duct tape matches the color of the engine pieces fairly well and its cheap! Replace it every valve adjustment!

    What Service Manual?

    Ignacio is right. We cannot support copyright infringers. So the FSM or Haynes are all that's available. I have the FSM. It works for me.

    Wire Feed Welders

    The cheapest easy to use welder I know of is a Harbor Freight Vulcan MIGMax™ 140 Welder SKU 63616. I don't know how long it will last but it welds nice with good wire on C25. I myself have a Miller 211 but you pay a higher price for those. Hobart Handlers are popular too.

    Route Suggestions from Crater Lake--by Car

    I chose to go to Bend (drink beer!). Then go to Prineville and stay. Eat at the Ochoco or Crooked River Brewing Companies. From there take 26 east. Wonderful rolling hills and trees. Stay on 26 to Vale. Take your pick of roads to Boise and stay the night. Eat at Bittercreek or 10 barrel...

    New used bike, module under rear seat, what is it?

    You need something like this for the Zumo 550. https://www.amazon.com/Fortune-Bluetooth-Transmitter-Receiver-Chargeable/dp/B073G56W7F/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 The 550 doesn't have the stereo bluetooth chip so the audio is terrible.

    FJR vs CanAm fully loaded

    The more drivers we can get to ride anything with less than four wheels is a win in my book. Motorcyclists, both two and three wheelers, tend to be more alert drivers. I like all kinds of things including Groms!

    2014ES or 2016A?

    You will eventually blow out the shocks and cartridges. So what is the future costs for new or rebuilt A vs ES? How often do you think you will want to change the settings on your suspension?

    Is importing FJR from Canada worth the hassle?

    Down in Bremerton, Brothers has a 2012 with only 2500 miles on it for $9,000. Its blue. Is that the color you want? Maybe the newer Gen IIIs are better.

    Advice needed buying used bike outside Calif.

    So any vehicle with more than 7,500 miles on the odometer at the time of purchase or trade by a California resident or business, is a used vehicle. It drops into different rules. Your bike is old. It's a 1972 so to quote from another CA DMV source "Permanent exemption from smog requirements is...

    Advice needed buying used bike outside Calif.

    I bought my 06 FJR (49 state model) from someone in Ohio and had it shipped to California. I only had the title. Took it to DMV and they verified mileage (over 7500) and the VIN by looking at it and that was that. I did not have the registration. Tell the buyer to contact the DMV customer...

    WTB OEM Windscreen for Gen II (2007)

    Joe, Did you have a box or buy one from the post office? That's a great deal compared to what I found at my local box shop. I am looking at a box about 20x20 x7 . I'm giving this away but the shipping is a killer. 11.95 sounds great.
