    Do the plastic screws that hold the windshield on ever break during normal use?

    I've got one that's broken now and a hand full of spares in a safe place. Where that safe place is is a mystery cause they're not in any of the places I've already looked.

    Spoke drain holes

    If nothing else the balance should be improved. I think it would take something much more caustic than salty mud to harm the wheels.

    Tank collapse

    I've not had it happen yet. I plan to pole vault if it does.

    Sad Ending for an XJR1300

    Whatever it landed on looks kinda of interesting. Must be a bar nearby.

    Venture Royale

    I took one for a test ride back in the day at a high school friends dealership. Thought the engine ran a little rough but liked everything else, said so on my return. Turns out when they fired it up for me they left the choke engaged. Got to take another test ride now that it was properly warmed...

    Guitar Lessons - I'm going to do it!

    If you have a PS3 or Xbox the Rocksmith game software can give you some good practice time with the electric guitar of your choice. So many people burn up hundreds of hours maxing out Guitar Hero and then still come away with no actual guitar skills, not so with Rocksmith...

    Couldn't Stand It

    I last rode on Christmas day, unheard of around here. And I'll be riding again today too. Although the roads are damp there's no danger of ice and the salt trucks haven't been out yet this winter. This is the first winter ever where the FJR has been usefully parked in the snowblowers normal...

    Stop leaving the key on!

    I quit using the handlebar shutdown button due to leaving my key on regularly so long ago I've nearly forgotten it's there. Had a lot of company here recently, someone tripped that button for me and it took me 15-20 seconds to realize why my bike was totally dead in the garage when it worked ok...

    Lithium battery experience?

    I put a Shorai in my 2005 KTM 400 EXC two years ago primarily for the weight savings. I haven't noticed the reduced weight as much as I noticed the reduced cold temp cranking performance. When it gives up the ghost completely I'll be going back to an AGM type battery.

    Trying to find my Pace

    I do my really aggressive riding on the water using a wetbike. A highside on it allows me time to tuck in, grab my glasses and a deep breath before impact and I always see it coming. I consider it my trackless track day. Maybe you should seek some other outlet to satisfy your crazy. A track has...
