    The Old (2013-2014) Big FJR Tire Poll

    I loathe the pr2 fronts, the vibration is ultra sucky. I think I prefer the pr3 rear to the pr2. Might try the t30gt front with what remains of the pr3 rear I currently have. I long for the days of the Azeros...

    Anybody hearing the same "new FJ" rumour I am?

    Ahh, triples. They have a marvelous sound of their own. And the triple "wheeze" when you shut them down. Just charming.

    Gen III Check Engine Light ?

    We have a bunch of Hyundai's in my family. Every once in a while they'll throw a check engine light due to the gas cap not sealing correctly. It goes away after a few dozen miles. I wonder if it could be something similar?

    This is the bike that started it all for Americans

    "...seemed so big..." They WERE big. I came from a 79 XS750 to the FJR. The dealer asked me what I thought the first time I had ever sat on one. I said "Nice little bike." Those 70's bikes were physically quite large, especially after you put a Windjammer on one.

    2003 stumble when launching

    On a first gen there is a largish connector under the tank behind the steering head that is known to be prone to corrosion. It can cause any manner of bizarre problems, including drivability issues. May also be a contributing cause for the headlight issue. Oh yeah, check your battery...

    Purchasing New front Rotors. Do I buy one or two?

    I'd err on the cautious side with brakes since I ride 2-up with a loaded trailer in the mountains.

    TBS Erratic and Front Brake Noise

    Is the idle speed at 1100 rpm? If it's lower it will run a little ragged. Shhh may actually be from the tires. Does it Shhh if you spin the wheel by hand with the front jacked up?

    If there was one album, to make everyone here listen to, what would it be?

    White boys indeed. I didn't see James Brown or wilson picket or Otis redding mentioned. Or Jimmy Smith or buddy guy.

    Portable Heatroller Mounting

    If you found the tank location convenient, glue a magnet to the bottom of the controller instead of velcro.
