    Engine Clunk When Starting on Cold Days

    USMC CWO, Hello from Virginia Beach - I have used the Mobile 1 15W/50 for the first three changes, mostly summer months, but on the last oil change tried the Shell Rotella T Synthetic 5W/40. Put it in just before the EOM rally in September and just changed a week ago. During this past 3500...

    More powder-coating happiness....

    WarChild, Awesome! However; me thinks some gay-*** chrome would allow you to see it in dark lighting conditions; ya wouldn't want to knock it over in the garage because you farkled it into full stealth mode and couldn't see it? :rolleyes: Farkle away! It is probably the best looking Busa I...

    Don't Shoot The Messenger

    Just a suggestion - Maybe someone should remove the "NAFO Dates Set" thread or at least cross it out, change the name of the thread or something"! After a few minutes of confusion (which doesn't take a whole lot to confuse me) I figured out by reading through this thread that the dates JULY 10...

    Where is the ECU located?

    OK, confirmed where the ECU is located by way of Warchild site - just where I though it was. The shoptard was trying to give me a line of bull today and I wasn't about to fall for it, but without a shop manual, I had some reasonable doubt. I was just reading on how the new ECU needs to be...

    Has anyone tried one of these on the FJR.

    jwilly, Don't waist your money, it is a crock of pooh! If you want to get more air in, buy a turbo charger with an inter-cooler, or better yet a super charger! These things can actually chock the air flow and/or cause unwanted turbulence in the air box/plenum. Unfortunately, the air box...

    Mixing Oil Grades OK?

    Wow, you actually believe what a service adviser recommends? Damn, if any of the ones in my area (5 in all) said "nice day, isn't it"?", I'd half to look out the door to see if the sun is shining or not. 10W-40 is great, 20W- 50 is great, and if you ride in the great white north 5W-30 will do...

    WV 219 - north of Marlinton, WV - 10/6/07

    Greetings fellow FJR rider, It was a brief sighting as we rounded the corner on 219 but it was like seeing myself coming toward myself. :unsure: Looked like the same bike (06 AE), wearing the same riding suit (Yellow, white, black jacket and black riding paints), even had the same Givi case...
