Hi Art - whoops, I'm sorry, I missed your reply. If it's not too late, then yes, a Gen II (2008) in SLC. If you only have the headlight harness, that's also OK. Let me know the cost and I'll PayPal straight away. My apologies again for not getting back sooner. (I thought I had subscribed to...

Bikergeek, that is just pure gold

Art, please add me to the list for when the next batch is ready. Full set, please. Many thanks, David

Sounds much like my problem about a year ago. My Gen 1 always was prone to the slow stater syndrome, and when a new battery didn't solve the problem I got a used starter off eBay ( from the UK) and that solved the problem. My starter was (is) in great condition except for a 'tracking' area where...

Great reading. Those family times, you with your daughter (me with my wife and/or son) are so precious. Bless you both!

Time to move me up a level. 120,702km = 75,000 miles and 1,312 yards

Thanks Tyler. Appreciated and already shared within half an hour of reading.

Thanks for the suggestions. The Bear Tooth Highway is the reason we are heading out the NE entrance of Yellowstone, and we'll try and miss Yellowstone and Going to The Sun on weekends. That Mirror Lake Road looks doable - maybe even for a 'shakedown' on the day before we official start our...

Been reading this thread - thanks for all the info. In Sept we are heading from SLC, UT to Hyder (See new thread here: https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php?showtopic=144460 ) and I've been using Destination Highways as one of my guides, but I need some specific thoughts and advice on the...

Hi all you 'Murcans and Canucks. In September 2 Aussie couples will be touring USA and Canada, basically heading from Salt Lake City to Hyder and back. Here's a rough outline of our draft plan: Sat 7 Sep leave Salt Lake City and head north to Jackson for night 1. Next day head to Yellowstone...

Agreed - what a great outcome after the original mess

I have just skimmed this thread, but here is something for info on an Aussie FJR 3-wheeler: https://forum.fjr13.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=3291

What a finish. As an Aussie and committed Stoner fan, I was really sorry to see Spies lose it on the line. He rode an excellently judged race - held back when he didn't need to get into the dogfight over 2nd, and when he decided to make his moves did them both really well. When he took Stoner...

One thing you don't want is for it to fall into the spark plug hole whenever next the spark plugs are changed. On another bike I lost a small bolt that secures the front of the tank (just like the FJR but it has 2). 2000 k's later, when servicing the bike, out it popped from one of the spark...

Mac, please spare us your analysis from such an obviously uninformed position. There are videos and photos out and about that show that Edwards hit Simo's bike/his back/legs, and Rossi went over his right shoulder and arm, and it appears that Rossis left foot/lower fairing hit Simo head. Rossi...

And warm wishes for a speedy recovery from Australia too. We have many friends here, many/most of whom we will meet face to face in this life, and it hurst us all when one of our number suffers like this. Alan, and Mrs Alan, may the healing time pass quickly, and without too many frustrations...

Love it - yep, specially that you have to zoom out that far to get it on the map! Very, very well done.

Yep, I geddit too. Well done - I like that your body cycle' was geared for it, too.

My prayers and thoughts too. I can't say it better than Mike has. If I have a choice in how I one day leave this life, it would be doing something I love and am passionate about, which is how I reflect on Ken; but my heart aches deeply for those left behind. David.

Great ride by Ben! I wonder how long before Simoncelli has an unfortunate accident behind the bicycle sheds. Pedrosa and Lorenzo will both be happy to see an extended holiday for him.
