    Original CCT What Should I Do?

    I currently have 52K on my bike. Picked it up with 33K on the clock last year. Many years ago when I was 18 I got bored over the winter so I tore my 650 special apart, rebuilt the engine, shaved 30 thousands off the head, ported and polished the head, farkled it out and put a custom paint job on...

    Original CCT What Should I Do?

    I will be checking my valves in the next month or two. My first time doing it on the FJR. Have done it before on mechanical valves, not one with shims so this will be a new procedure. I need to look for the dot on my CCT as it is making noise. Will probably change it out when I have it open for...

    accessory outlets

    I added a powerlet to my D panel, wired directly to the battery. Use it mainly for my phone/GPS. More expensive but it does not vibrate out like a car cigarette connector can.

    Consummated on 4/17/16

    Congrats on the new bike! I am beginning to feel alone with my Gen 1 bike and all the new gen 3s out there. At least Raquel still looks great and is paid for, lol.

    Riding jackets, which do you recommend?

    I ride with the motoport gear. Had a tourmaster but it did not hold up when crash tested. The motoport pants handled the abuse without a mark on them after washing. So I replaced the tourmaster with the mesh Kevlar from motoport. It is out of your $300 budget but worth every penny when you go down.

    What are the symptoms of a shot starter?

    I am watching this thread because I get the slow starter spin sometimes when my engine is hot. Battery age is not known as I bought the bike last year but the voltage reads 12.79. That appears to be a good battery so far. I have wondered if it is an electrical connection which is expanding with...

    Inexpensive Bike Stand

    I made the same setup last year and have used it each time I raise the front end. It works well for me. Made one mistake when I made the black pipe rack to support the bike. went by memory while at home depot and I got all the pieces but in 1/2 inch diameter instead of the 3/4 inch. It flexes...

    Motorcycle intercom systems

    LAMM Seat

    I would agree with gripping the bar to hard. However it is something I concentrate on not doing, plus it happens with driving the cage. Hate to think it is CTS but my dad had it and went through surgery for it at this age...... It is not going to prevent me from riding though! I will get a side...

    LAMM Seat

    I have read many posts on the aftermarket seats for the FJR and did not give it much thought beyond picking up a Corbin accessory seat. It was more comfortable than the stock seat so I was happy with it. My bottom would get sore on long rides but I just attributed it as I have been sitting to...
