Hi Guys, I have been trying to apply the above procedure to my 2013 model, but the idle speed seems to be controlled by the ECU on this model - at the time I was doing it, I phoned up an acknowledged expert over here (in the UK) and he wasn't sure as had not done one, and another had said...

I just got hold of the R1 link and whilst it has the offset / crank as the pictures, the distance between the centres ( length) seems pretty much exactly the same as the stock item on mine - so I can't see any difference or point in fitting the R1 item. Did different model years perhaps have...

Thanks Duff, great write-up.... and one which I too completely agree with.... Being relatively lazy, I leave the V-Stream on, as I find I get enough air when down and like to have the protection from the rain and wind when needed, so it is generally left on. However, I do also have the...

What about a humble, quality NGK Iridium CR8-EIX ? Not much more than a stocker, but any improvements to mpg or smoothness or longevity ? Nick

I, for one, am pretty sure to certain that it does not.... - I am thinking that the effect I am noticing is purely moving up the mapping of the fuel injection system and there's a big step at the point I mentioned from "economical" to "power orientated" Nick

Being as it was a not bad afternoon here in the South of the UK, I took the bike out to give it a bit of exercise and noticed I had left it on instantaneous mpg - anyway, I left it there as I have been meaning to see what the consumption is at various steady speeds... I was shocked to note...

Cracking good technical thread guys ! - My logic seems to agree with disconnecting two injectors to put "load" on the engine, so I will be trying this method very soon.. Nick

Very sad ... Here in England though, not only are we taught NOT to overtake at intersections, for this very reason ( and very few do) I think it is also illegal. It all comes down to attitude to riding / driving - if you can't see to safely carry out the move, it is not safe and should not be...

OK - Thanks to both - If I lose impulses from the pick up will it affect both the speedo and mileometer or just one or the other ? - i.e. does it feed both ? Thanks, Nick

OK - thanks for the pointer - will do Nick

Can anyone tell me where the pick-up sensor for the speedo is and if there have been any intermittent problems with this ? Thanks, Nick

I have a UK 2005 model year FJR1300 and wondered what the UK 2007 model year ( not the clutchless) changes / improvements are ? Anyone got the info at their fingertips ? Thanks, Nick

I rune a (wired) Starcom... the later box , the Advance, has a Bluetooth option... it allows a Bluetooth enable helmet to work with the Starcom apparently... and the Satnav / phone etc Nick

I have a DL 1000 next to the '05 FJR 1300 - had the Strom since new 3 years ago and had the FJR about 6 months and done about 1500 miles on it .... The V-Strom is modded / evolved to suit me and so is the FJR just about .... I am having very great difficulty selling the Strom ( which was the...

Hi Zoltan - Glad I saw this post from you as I have a DL 1000 and recently got the FJR 1300 2005 and am wondering whether to fit it. It is already quite smooth, but hesitates in the 3000 to 6000 area and I wanted to smooth that out and optimise for good touring economy - maybe start with Wally's...

How long does it take for the tyres to become "hot" and does it matter much what the ambient temp is ? Thanks, Nick

Having read all the tyre posts I can find on the Forum, I think that Avons Azarros or the new Storms may be the better way to look, and I too will join the queue for Warchild's initial impressions (or anyone else who has some info) Nick

Just got my first FJR and see the AZ45/46s get good feedback - the UK group here seems to rate Conti Road Attacks as also good and wondered if anyone here had had both and could comment on each ? Thanks, Nick

Anyone got any comments on the Conti Road Attacks on the FJR ? Thanks, Nick

Hi Guys, I am about to get my first FJR and have been lurking for about a year - I was under the impression (from my liited reading) that the ticker problem was confined to model years up to 2003 - perhaps incorrectly. As I am about to view my first potential purchase, (a 2005 model) can...
