I test rode a C14 when I bought my FJR. One of the reasons I did not buy the C14 was that I felt it was too much power. The C14 was no joke. I LOVE power and I LOVE acceleration but I also don't want to die. The fastest motorcycle I have ridden is a BMW K1300S. That thing is one hell of a...

I have always wondered how someone ends up with a bike like this. I don't intend to buy, mostly just curious. If it was insured why not take the check from the insurance company and let them haul it away. If you kept the bike that means you bought it back from them for a small price, but why...

This guy is out of his ever-loving mind! $10,900? You can ask it but that doesn't mean someone will pay it. I would rather have a one owner bike with 20K miles that has been serviced and cared for. At least it's a good color.

You know your going to miss it....

As usual you guys were right. Bought a tender, charged it overnight, fired right up. Started better than it has ever started. 12.3V before the charge, 13.4V after. Plus, the new heated grips work!! Next step is to get the battery tested. I see Amazon has an OEM for about $90, but word is...

Thanks for the tips guys, I love these forums. Believe it or not, I don't have a trickle charge but I guess it's time. I've only been riding about 5 years and I ride year round so i've never needed to charge a battery. I have notice ever since i've had the bike that sometimes the starter...

I have spent the day wiring in some heated grips, over a couple hour period I had the ignition on and off but never started the bike. Went out to the bike this evening and the bike started after a very sluggish start. I only ran the bike for a very short time and then turned it off. About 10...

oops, guess i'll try it with the motor on. I hate electrical stuff.

It's a long story but I had to ditch the OEM heated grips. I want to splice in symtec heaters and use gel grips. Anyone know how? I have tried several ways and can't get the symtec to get warm. I need to know specifics about the wiring. For example, connect the red and blue from symtec to...

Yes, wait until 2015, then buy the 2014. Save $2200 and get the red and fast CC. Only have to wait 1 more year.

I would like to hear from someone in the 250lb range. Does the bike really handle the extra load? I know it says you can adjust for 2 up riding, but how does the bike's suspension handle it?

He was referring to the silver plastic panels that say FJR on them, the ones under the seats. I agree, they should be red. The 13' has them painted to match. Your question is one I have not thought about though, would the paint scratch more since your legs are over the top of them. The...

The only thing I do know is the suspension on my 06' is completely inadequate for my fat ***. That thing groans every time I sit on it. The good news is it sounds like both routes ( ES vs Aftermarket ) have some advantages. That's more that I knew before I read this topic.

So what about for a guy that's 250lbs? These bikes are setup for an 180lb guy, is the ES worth the money or should I save the coin and just do custom suspension? I could always set the dial to 2 up or 1 up with luggage to compensate for the extra weight from all my muscle mass. I don't ride 2...

I messed up the throttle side of my OEM heated grips while trying to install a G2 throttle tamer. I'm hoping for a long shot and that someone has the throttle side grip that works. If you have one, lets make a deal. Or if you know how to install Symtec heaters to the OEM setup that would be...

In the process of installing a G2 throttle tamer, I managed to damage the OEM heated throttle grip. The grips are part# ABA-2D237-40-00. Rather than spend $350 for a new kit, I wonder if I could splice in a set of symtec heaters. I would like the symtec so I can use my own grips rather than...

Thought I would have to pay a few hundred bucks if I wanted a side bag without a big crack in it. Not the case! Sent it off to Garauld, $115 and a couple weeks later this is what I have. Very pleased. Before After

Thanks for the info, I knew this bike would run better with a PC, that's why I got it. Maybe not an 08' or newer but I know the 06' will run better. If I lose 2 or 3 mpg I not really worried about it if the bike runs better. I have a G2 i'm going to put on first. I will have look into an...

I already own the PCV, I might as well load it up and throw it in. If it sucks, i'll pull it out.
