My dad who lives in Pensacola (a wing rider) has a time share condo thing in Helen, Ga. I'm riding up to meet him in Sept. for a week of riding. I'll be coming from Texas. Is there a better way to get to Helen rather than going through Atlanta? Or is the Atlanta traffic nightmare talk just b.s...

Got the FJR back on Cinco de Mayo, now there's something to celebrate. New ECU, injectors, atmospheric sensor (I think). Anyway it seems all better to me, other than I can't get the idle under 1400. I'm going back today, (they're letting me test ride an R6), and I'll ask them about the idle. The...

All parts are in (May 3rd) bike supposed to be repaired today. It will be dyno'ed afterwards, I'll have a full report as soon as I get the FJR back.

Hey Scott, ECU and Injectors showed up on Friday, but no gaskets and o-rings for the injectors. Hopefully they'll show up on Tuesday when the dealership re-opens. Will be w/o the FJR for 6 weeks on Tuesday. thanks for asking, Dewayne

Hey Thanks Neal, good to hear from you. Stay in touch.

Thank god for TIVO. I have it set to record anything to do with motorcycle racing. While checking it last night to see if it had recorded anything this show from the Discovery Science channel showed up. It was a great program, Nick Ianetsch was interviewed, they followed the Kaw AMA team of the...

Been a while since I posted an update on the FJR. Been waiting on parts for a couple of weeks. The ECU is coming out of Japan. They tore my bike down again today, just to double check, they found a bad atmospheric sensor and pulled up a fault code (finally) that pointed to the ECU, parts...

DAYUM!!! I've been wanting a GTS. That thing looks brand new. Just Awesome!!

Well bike still not fixed. Waiting on parts to come in, however I did pick up a new 350 Z Nissan last night. That thing is wanting some curvy roads. Maybe I could bring it. :)

K9 installation of the bags is easy. I enjoyed your report thoroughly, reminded me of my own FJR experience.

Scott, I noticed the bike was running very rough, esp at idle. While trucking down the road it ran okay, but at idle it just didn't sound right. I changed the iridium plugs which didn't help. Also I checked the TBS and #1 was only about half of where it should be and was unadjustable, thats when...

Brian's 26, got a great deal on the bandit and its been a hoot to ride and it LOVES the TON!! He's been riding for a bit but still doesn't have the bug like I do. He got a great deal on the Bandit. 2001 with 5000 miles on it. Was ridden by one of my buddy's wife. 3 grand is what he paid for it.

Would love to do a Hill Country ride but the feejer is in the shop. You can read about it here. Maybe soon though, I'm getting antsy.

New injectors and ECU have been ordered. Should be here by Thu Apr. 13th. I"ll keep the list informed of progress.

No ticking. According to the Svc Mgr, cylinders 1 and 4 are somewhat connected as are 2 and 3. He's at a loss as to why 1 and 2 are affected and not 3 and 4 also. Everything mechanical checks out so far. Glad I have the Y.E.S. Really miss my bike, been riding my sons 1200 Bandit in the mean time.

Let me re-word that. Low vacuum on 1 and 2. I'm not a mechanic so not sure if that has anything to do with ECU or not.
