One of the MANY things I accomplished on the bike the past weeks is a clutch bleed. During this time I had the foot shifter off to lube the pivot points. This morning I take the 1st ride since having the bike disassembled the past 5 weeks. The clutch lever moved easily and so did the foot...

Go to Home Depot and get the black pipe with elbows and t sections. Then hoist it up with tie-downs. Cheap setup cuz you can use it for the rear portion as well. I'll post a pic when I get home.

Herein lies the sin: a pasty cracka wearing shorts, preppy shoes, and the gangsta-look-hat-going-on while sitting on one of the world's best motorcycles.

I'm trying to do the thorough lube job because I'm installing the new Penske 8983 received from GPSuspension. First, let me express my frustration that the dealer tightened all the bolts in this area to the point I had to get a breaking bar to assist. I was screaming in the garage "Hey people...

I hit a large pothole and resulted in putting a dent in the front and rear rims. After 10k miles no issue at all with tire pressure or stability. Don't fix what's not broke. Always keep vehicles maintained. And if something is broke but not crucial to the vehicle's operation the it's a toss...

After installing the forks and front tire (thanks GPS for the upgrade!), I had the front wheel suspended a few inches off the ground by my jedi powers. So I turned the front wheel by hand and heard the pads scraping against the rotors. I squeezed the brake lever a few times but to no avail the...

Blue loctite. Lost the right motovation slider due to not using it and will never make that mistake again.

+1 on color and year. Though many here will strongly disagree but the 07 is THE fastest FJR produced thus far. B)

The feej is a great all-around bike. The power, handling, and looks are superb. I still get looks and comments from others. If you and your wife are looking for mostly comfort and amenities then consider a goldwing or a road king. The wing is a bigger and heavier bike and can't perform like the...

After spending 2 hours to get the tires off the rims, I only succeeded with the front and halfway on the rear. And though I had rim protectors the results also include a few minor scratches which doesn't make me happy. My bike has been out of action due several weeks waiting on GPSuspension to...

Thank you. Will check mine today and have sent link to family.

I've done all the maintenance on the bike (except the 25K valve adjustment which I'll let the dealer do). A few weeks ago I learned how EASY it was to pull the forks off so GPSuspension could upgrade them. Next week when the Penske shock arrives I'll be pulling off the oem shock and putting on...

Anyone higher up on the list willing to give me their spot would be most appreciate. The fairings and wheels are already off while I wait on suspension upgrade from GPSuspension.

A Frenchie actually brandishing a weapon and using it? I don't believe it... probably a Brit or Germany in disguise.

A friend is neat freak and likes his stuff in it's place at all times. So I sneaked into his apt one night and moved some of it around... then made just enough noise to wake him on purpose. He came fumbling down the stairs barely awake and noticed things out of place and then put them back to...

Was it whistling Dixie?

I've done the k&n filter, iridium plugs, TBS, and even lost 20 pounds by exercising. With maybe a very small increase in horsepower the bike pulls as strong on day one as it does 18k miles later. I considered a ZX14 when I was looking. When the sales guy helping you is 15 years younger and he...

An assistant district attorney for Jefferson County, CO, told me that a CO state patrol can cite a driver for speeding by simply following the driver AND not using radar AND without the need to match the speed. She said this method holds up in court even though it isn't used a lot by the officers.

My Storms only lasted about 3k miles. The stock tires last over 10k. I have a new set of PR2's in my garage waiting to be mounted and balanced. HaulinAshe has done a lot of research in tires and I used his review to help me choose the PR2's.

Ordered PR2's from Southwest Motors on Wed. They arrived today! Around $255ish, shipping free. Went to Harbor Freight over the weekend and picked up the wheel changing stand plus motorcycle attachment. After reading this post a few days ago: https://www.clarity.net/~adam/tire-changing-doc.html...
