    On-Board Police Chase with Yamaha FJR 1300 vs Honda CBR 1000 RR

    Geez I wander how many motorcycle cops and runners die each year? Around here a bike chase usually ends up with somebody dead, rough to collect fines that way.

    2010 with hot feet, 2006 didn't have an issue

    Yea, and I used to joke about catalytic converters on weedeaters too. The good old EPA. :D

    Has Honda fixed their intake valve problems yet? Thousands of privateers would probably like that better.

    2010 with hot feet, 2006 didn't have an issue

    The only heat I feel on my 10 is at my shins, I can deal with it. All that engine heat has to go somewhere. Never tried the wing thing because they look terrible when deployed. Is it possible that the 10's are running a little leaner?

    Yamaha FZ8

    I can't comment on the FZ8, but I do have a Gen II FZ1. Probably my all around favorite Bike. I think the only reason the FZ8 got dinged in the reviews was for the limited suspension (their words) and lack of adjustments that the FZ1 has. This will happen when you are packaging a bike for a...

    FJR Trike

    Congrats on the spyder. My step dad just got one. Back injury causes his one leg to go numb to the point he was worried he couldn't get his leg down at stops. Traded his VTX1800 in on a new RSS and never looked back. He is now riding with us again and having a ball. I've ridden a couple of...

    Tractor trailer tire blows next to us...

    One of my Dad's friends was taken out on a bike by a semi tire blow. Survived, but long recovery. I don't loiter around beside these guys (not saying you did). I usually pass them rather expeditiously as far away as possible, especially on hot days. I also listen for any thumping (if I can hear...

    My Huey Ride, Awesome

    Saturday, after years of waiting, I finally got to take a ride in a UH-1 Huey. I made a little video, it obvious that I'm not a professional. Thanks to all the vets out there!!! enjoy

    What's a great little stablemate for the FJR

    I like my FZ1!!!! I Traded a 2009 BMW R1200R on my FJR. I miss that bike, I'll have another one some day. I'm convinced that boxer motor had a soul.

    Continued TPS Failures

    Thanks Joe, that was my suspicion based on prior experience on other bikes. On those applications the PCIII just tapped into it with a high impedance sense line, probably with a buffer amp and perhaps some filtering. This would not modify the signal passing through to the OEM ECU.

    Continued TPS Failures

    OK so you guys lost me in the posts above. So what was the outcome of whether or not the PC taps into the TPS position sensor on the FJR. The PC needs to get this signal from somewhere. The applications that I have first hand experience with tapped into the TPS signal wire with an insulation...

    Continued TPS Failures

    Sorry, I was refering to the cheezy tap connector (singular) that taps into the TPS wire on my other bikes. I see that the FJR picks this signal up through the main injector connector so we don't have to deal with that. I dont have any issue with the injector connectors. I'd still be putting a...

    Continued TPS Failures

    The PC3 taps into the center wire or wiper of the TPS. It should be a very high impedance looking into the PC3 as not to load the TPS and change the voltage going to the PC3 and the stock ECU. There is not enough current involved to cause wiring heating. I usually don't use the cheesy tap...

    Vance & Hines CS One Mufflers

    I had two concerns with the black 1.) The long term durability of the black coating. Especially in the event I have to drill out the rivets and re-pack the mufflers, even though I have never had to do that yet on a street bike. Chips and scrapes would reveal the silver base metal and be very...

    I put a set of these on my 2010. I'm really impressed with them. There are three movies of the bike running in this album. Be advised that sound clips are very audio equipment dependent. https://s282.photobucket.com/albums/kk266/BlackStar_1961/2010%20FJR/
