    ECU Replacement & PCIII

    No you don't have to remove it. I had my ECU replaced after installing a PCIII and it ran fine when I picked it up. I've read here that you should reinstall your map after adding the ECU, but I can't remember where I read it or the reasons why. I think it was in one of HaulingAshes posts. I...

    Shoei RF1000 issues

    And make sure your vents, especially the one on the chin piece, are closed. I have a Multitec that gets soaked inside on the shield if I forget to close the vents.

    Craftsman Tools

    I was in Sears tonight picking up a few things to install my Heli triple clamp. My God, I could spend a bunch of money in there. I was thinking as I pulled out of the parking lot about the tool set I used to have. Turned wrenches on motorcycles for 10 years for a living and to keep my road...

    engine stalled

    If Mikey was on an incline, like he said, the fuel wouldn't slop to the front of the tank, it would slop to the back. Where are the pickups?

    NikWax Rocks!

    Hate to break the flow of this thread about the nice chest, but a warning is called for. (Not about the chest.) I washed my Aerostitch with Nikwax and have used Scotchguard. I'm allergic to both. After using either one, the collar area, which is the only area of the suit that touches my...

    2007 FJR - Front Breaks "Chatter" During Hard Stops

    This problem isn't really brake chatter but a clicking coming from the ABS system. I believe you can find the thread for HaulingAshe's suspension adjustments in the Bin 'O Facts.

    2007 FJR - Front Breaks "Chatter" During Hard Stops

    It isn't the steering head bearings. It comes through the front wheel through the brake lever. Steering head bearings aren't so rhythmic. They just clunk. Edit: Plus I've checked my steering head bearings. This is ABS related. I've checked everything and I think I've decided not to worry...

    2007 FJR - Front Breaks "Chatter" During Hard Stops

    Something similar to that happens to me all the time on my '06. I'll come up to a stop sign, braking with some force but not enough to engage the ABS, and I'll feel the front brake knock as if the ABS was clicking away, but it isn't engaged. It isn't really a chatter, because the wheel isn't...

    Dropped this top-heavy PITA today

    Bummer! Whether it's the bike's fault (most assuredly), yours in a moment not concentrating (not likely), or simply an "act of God" (**** happens), it is a bummer. Feel for you. You're beating yourself up enough. I'll not pile on.

    First Time at the Drag Strip

    I was born and raised in Marshall, MI. My early drag stip days were (I think) at I-69 drag strip, maybe in Miles MI? Long time ago. What fun it was. Have fun doing all kinds of things with your FJR. When I drag raced it was on a Suzuki X6 Hustler. This FJR has a gazillion more HP. I can...

    First Time at the Drag Strip

    What great fun! :yahoo: Back in the '60s I did some drag racing and it was a good time. What track were you at? I never did a drag strip "race day." I may need to give it a try. Glad you had a great day.
