When I bought Odysee AGM batteries for my Kawasaki Concours, there was no prep required. They came in a box ready to go with up to a 10 year shelf life, no charging required. Dan

Tech question: In the third photo, what are the open doors on the lower fuselage just aft of the wing trailing edge for? Dan

What "prep" does the dealer have to do? Dan

What a great report, thanks for sharing! You can't cost-justify this sort of adventure, so don't even try. The value of the experience is priceless. Please report back with progress on getting checked out and plans for Oshkosh. I got my license in the late 70s and have been on the outside...

It's not a "differential", no motorcycles have them. It is a right angle helical bevel gear drive in both locations (middle gear and final drive gear). I would want to know why there is bearing play that needs adjusting. Typically, these gear setups are good for an indefinite period unless...

So, are you not supposed to call in sick? Can't attend a funeral? Can't make doctor/dentist appointments? Go to Hawaii on vacation (let alone the one day ride)? This almost sounds like involuntary servitude rather than a job. Dan

Update: I ordered a pair of these to mount on my Toyota Tundra as a "guinea pig" to see how they perform. I just finished the mounting and testing and these are amazing lights! I have them relayed to my high beams and they light up from the front of my bumper to the horizon and very wide. No...

I mounted mine to the underside of a rack I made myself for my 2014A: The helmet is secured high and not vulnerable to hot exhaust, etc. Dan

Foot clutch and hand shift were optional up until the late 60s as I recall. Dan

Bearings will have a number on them that typically can be used to cross-reference to other makes. I bought the All Balls set just so I could do the cross-reference, not intending to use them in the FJR. They are still sitting on my bench unopened. I will be going with Timken or SKF when I do get...

This is most important to me. Also that it is about $13/gallon which is what I used to pay per quart of the Yamalube. Dan

Just bring a stick with a 16 penny nail sticking out so you can drag it to stop, it will be better than the excuses of brakes they put on that year. Harley actually calls the front brake a "hill-holder" brake. Dan

I had admired the FJR since it's first introduction to the US in 2003 but I had a new first gen Kawasaki Concours at the time. The 2014 red pushed me over the edge, though, along with the integrated electronic cruise control (had an Audiovox on the C10). Never been happier in my 56 years of...

Tiny little thing but both cables "pull", neither of them "push". Dan

Just nit-picking here but motorcycles do not have "differentials". Dan

Speaking only of oil here. Dan

Glad to help, pdf sent. Any others, let me know. Dan

I have an Audiovox Schematic and Trouble Shooting Guide I can send you by e-mail (.pdf). No marketing here, I put this together when I was active on the Concours Owners Group forum. Send me an e-mail at bergmen-at-pacific-dot-net (@.) and I'll return with an attachment. Dan

Here's a suggestion: 1) RTFM. 2) Do what it says. These two simple steps have never failed anyone. Dan

I bought my 2014 A BECAUSE it was red. And not just any red, gorgeous Candy Red. Oh, and all of the other good things about the FJR that I had always wanted. AND the cruise of course. I have 32k miles on mine and at least half if not more of these miles are on cruise. Of all of the vehicles I've...
