Very nice. Your gal reads the forum doesn't she?

Consistantly got/get low to mid 40's on both the 05 & 07. Usually get the best mileage when I have a passenger (more conservative riding I suppose). Most of my riding is rural rather that suburban or urban.

The copper style of kitchen steel wool pads will also take off the melted rubber & plastic from the chrome pipes as well.

Checkout the string kits at Wal-Mart-Very inexpensive, like 2-3 bucks. Several threads on modified air pumps, etc. on the forum. Good luck

BramFrank, nice writeup!

Best of luck.

Concur with the above. Idle speed should be set at 1,100 rpm. Also if you are coming from a Big V-twin, the FJR typically has a little less torque at an idle-But only at an idle. You'll adapt & love it.

Sorry to hear that your baby got dropped. That first scratch always hurts like Hell! Best of luck.

Nice solution, innovative, nice photos & writeup. Thanks

So Easy what is the small enclosure on the left handlebar that has a knob & what looks like a headphone jack?

A length of Aluminum stock from Lowes & a truckstop CB antenna. Couple of longer screws for the Givi mount. Be sure & check the SWR for best distance or lowest ratio. Say 1.1 to 1.5 on the meter.

Like Iggy & Hartclimbs said along with finishing nails down the wall in the shop for the odd & leftover ones

So I'm installing some farkles & notice this loose connector under panel C. It is secured to the frame with a white plastic cable tie. Everything seems to be working fine on the bike & I have not found any voltage on the connector with the bike ignition either "ON" or "OFF". I don't think it...

At the 600 mile service be sure that they do the Throttle Body Sync. Suspect it's a bit out. PS 700 mile days with stock seat & bars. I do prefer a taller windshield (6'3" & 34" inseam) and larger diameter grips. Good luck.

Excuse the ignorance of a non-transmission type guy here but I seem to remember that on my 750 cc Seca the handbook said not to even coast in neutral with the engine off-something to do with no oil pressure for the transmission. Not sure if this is true for the FJR or not but for me I wouldn't...

On the 05 it was under the seat. On the 07 under the ECU area.

While I don't have dimensions handy I can confirm that the spaces are not the same between Gen I & Gen II. Also the available space in Gen I between ABS & non ABS are different due to the ABS equipment and in Gen II it would also depend on the selected seat height. I do agree it would be handy...

Sounds like a wonderful trip. In the Banff area I would also look for somewhere to stay in Canmore which is just south. If you are into historic type sites I would book a night at the Banff Springs Hotel in Banff if you can get in. The Banff Springs Hotel is a huge castle like hotel in a...

Me too. I live in a small town that is really pretty safe. I only use the disklock in other areas, when I expect to be away from the bike for a while, & always on tours at motels. PS I make a habit of never taking my bike to a movie theatre where an observer would know how much time they...

Terrific read! Thanks
