    Having a good day when things happen to slow you down.

    Motor quit at 45 MPH, just stopped. Pulled on to the shoulder, hit the button start button, she spit and sputtered but started. Hit the throttle just clear her out, the check engine light came on, was 300 miles from home in central Iowa with a very concerned look on my face. Did a fault check...

    Need them Breaks

    Looking for some sound reasoning about breaks and the noise you might hear from them. When the brakes on the cage go bad there’s no question about it. What am looking for is a measurement of good, bad and change pad now. Is the sound of your brake’s a tell tail sound? There appears to be two...

    Rubber on the road??

    I was told that at 140 MPH there is only 1/4 inch of rubber on the road. I thought my BS meter was going off, But I don’t know for sure, so I asked even with Z rated tires? Was told yes. What can this group contribute so I may sound like I know what am talking about.

    It's getting warmer!!!!!

    Ya.. well am going home and chip ice off my driveway, that’s why were so healthy up here, the cold freezes all the nasty bugs out and we have to work all the time to stay warm.

    It's getting warmer!!!!!

    It’s nice to have a solid four seasons but when you own an FJR the winters get long, there talking forty’s next week though. You walk past your ride setting there all covered on the stand looking dejected, it’s like kicking your dog by accident you tell him you didn’t mean it but you still get...

    Surging and my fix

    Well it's snowing again, summer doesn’t last long in January. I didn't believe it either I only got a hundred miles on it before the snow came again but it ran great. I still think I have at least two things going on. I’ve done the TPS check and the numbers are perfectly liner.

    Surging and my fix

    It is now above 40deg F in Minnesooota, went and picked up my ride from the shop it's been at since Thanksgiving for surging. The surge has been posted forever but I have a different fix. It appears that my kickstand switch was the problem. I don’t have many miles on it yet and it can’t get...

Where is the deductive reasoning for living in such a place? It could be when that 130 HP skid mobile comes out of the shed...

    Kick stand making motor surge??

    Had an on going problem with surging, the TPS was blamed but after pulling up error screen several times, it all ways came up fault 16 (I think) maybe 17, the kick stand switch. The only time it will act up is when I have ridden a long ways or it hot out side. It’s going in the shop the first...

    Rode to work and no bugs on the windshield

    Of course it was only 24 degs F. I did see two other riders in my inward commute and one was a 04 FJR we are a hardy bunch! The F must stand for frosty??
