Hwy 12 is a road made by human, blessed with the spirits of the motorcycle gods. Looking forward to the pictures to remind me of roads I haven't been on for several years.

I like it as well. (You should paint the side cases red and tie a string to the front for halloween.... nothing like riding a tampon for the holiday)

I enjoyed your pictures. It's a nice idea for a ride some day. On good days I'll head down to hill country, play for a few hours, and head back home to the DFW area. You helped add more reason for me to head down some day and slow down to enjoy the history of the area.

Sounds like a good time. Bad weekend for me (work). Have fun.

The SIDI Adventure Rain boots are water resistant. The SIDI Adventure Gore-Tex boots are waterproof.

My price, including shipping, was $368.77. When you order and have it shipped to the USA, they do not add VAT. I do anticipate some sort of broker fee from DHL for the import though. We'll see what that surprise fee is.

I've been shopping around for a while for a new pair of riding boots after wearing out my old Oxtar Air-Tech XCR boots which have served me well. My search was for a boot that is comfortable but offered greater protection in the event of a get-off. A requirement was that it also be waterproof...

Great to see. How long did you leave the key on before hitting the start key and was this your first start attempt?

Fun to watch.

Great test. It makes me even more pleased that I purchased this battery. When getting off work between 0100 and 0200 this winter, I want to be sure I have reserve power in case the FJR doesn't start on the first try. It rarely is an issue, but calling my wife at 0130 to have her come get me...

I went with the black air mesh two piece suit. I added reflective striping down the arms and calf reflection all in hi-viz. The contrast of the green on the black really pops out nicely in daytime riding. I purchased the full monty. Heated jacket, rain liner (without insulation), quad armor...

This link provides a small, limited test on the battery as well with good results, including starting after the battery sat in a freezer overnight.

I'd be concerned with exaggerated instrument cluster movement as well (unless there is a huge difference in Gen 1 vs Gen 2 mounting of the instrument cluster). I run a Rifle windscreen and get some enhanced windshield bracket movement, but the subframe for the nose remains solid and keeps the...

Agreed. Before the sky falls on your heads, consider the expected (not proven yet) life of the Shorai is double that of your AGM battery and also consider that, in cold conditions, the Shorai should have plenty of reserve to help start your bike. My personal experience (before I went with a...

I just installed a Shorai with the specific goal of having it in for winter testing. My westco battery was only 18 months old, but cranked noticeably slower than a couple of other FJR's around. On cold cranking in my garage before change, the westco voltage on my Datel dipped to 8.3 volts...

LD Comfort products rock. Their tights are worth every penny because of the design (they have a no-slip mid thigh band that prevents ride-up) as well as the quality. (non-paid spokesman... happy rider:) worldbound4now

Do you have the FSM? In the Gen 1 FSM, it gives an appropriate range for the TPS which has a low end of 15-17 and a high end of 97-100. When you gradually, slowly open up the throttle during the diAG testing, do you get a corresponding climb in sequentially greater numbers? You also don't...

If I were to hedge any bets, I'd lean harder towards failure of the side stand kill switch. It is the most susceptible to dirt, moisture, and other debris. The grease inside of the switch had also developed a waxy, firm texture with a brown appearance. The switch operated much more freely...

So, after committing a large amount of the last few days to work, I was finally able to flog the beast around some local roads. I purposefully ran some smooth and some rough roads with great speed variability as well as some highway droning. The issue seems to have resolved. To recap, I seem...

The line is clean, confirmed patent, with properly seated orange "bung". No increased pressure nor "suck" phenomena when opening the tank cap.
