    2012 FJR won't shift

    She shifts perfectly now. I don't think that ball joint was ever lubed in its short 2100 mile life.

    2012 FJR won't shift

    I am an *****. I took it all apart and the linkage is flopping around. I said that can't be it. The top ball was tight and I had to pull hard to get it away from the bike to check the linkage. So I put it all back together, and in the middle of the night I think that top ball can't be tight. I...

    I had a Corbin on my Bandit. It was much better than stock. I got to check out a Russel day long. I don't like the way the stock seat slants forward and tries to crush the jewels too. The Bandit was the same way before the Corbin.

    I came from a Goldwing. I got to get used to this new seat. Only a 100 mile ride too.
