Welcome from San Ramon, CA. I'm an old guy too. How old are you

My 2014ES was purchased in Dec 2013 and the original battery went strong until June 2022. When I had the valves checked at 65,000 miles the dealer showed me the readout indicated the battery was near its life’s end. This is my third FJR and the first time I replaced a battery. Went with a Yuasa.

That is a good summation of the topic!! 🤠

Fairlaner, Where have you been? Have not seen anything from you in a long time. Unless I missed it??

The large screw driver is the east way. Before you drive the screw driver through the filter take an awl pick and punch a hike in the lower outer side of the filter to drain the oil. That will prevent the mess.

Thanks guys for the lesson(s) on use of dielectric grease. I have been using it wrongly on my battery tender pigtail connection. I will now use ACF-50.

Interesting topic. My 2014 just Turned 61,000 miles and both front and rear pads are about 1/2 gone. I check them each tire change. Perhaps my riding situation is not normal. After every ride I clean the calipers. Also I do not often make short trips. When possible I begin down shifting...

Shift linkage, I had the dealer do it once when they did the rear suspension lube. How do you get the knuckles off the ball joint? I will do that myself if one of you who have done it will share your knowledge?? Thanks!

Thanks!! That settles it. Your attached chart is helpful as I have had situations where riding in 110 F heat. The 10W50 will be even more beneficial. Walmart is out of Castrol full syn 10W40. Apparently the Forum members snatched up all their inventory. :oops:

Thanks for the feedback. The 10W50 is indeed Castrol T4 full syn. motorcycle oil. I ordered only 4 quarts as I have one and 2/3 quarts of Castrol 10W40 left lover from the last 6 quart order. Any reason I should not mix the 10W40 with 10W5t0 next time I change oil? Both are Castrol T4 full san...

I accidentally ordered Castrol 10W-50 full san. 4T oil from Walmart. I realize the manual calls for 10W-40. Before returning this oil are there major issues if using this oil in my 2014 FJR. I do not ride in cold temps. Since the clutch and trans is lubed by the motor oil will the 10W-50 cause...

I would like to thank the web master(s) for their great work in making it so easy to now attach photos. Great work much appreciated. 👍👍🏍

If you plan to overnight in Ouray make your reservation now. Summer is high season and very busy. We stayed at a very nice motor inn (Abraham Inn) which is in town and economically priced. Very motorcycle friendly.

During a ride to Colorado from California we visited a couple very scenic locations. Attached are a few pic of Window Rock in western Arizona, Black Canyon National Park and Ourray, CO.

Blassoff made the case for OEM FZ1 mirrors. I’ve had three FJR’s and put them on all three. Get and you will not regret ‘em! 🏍

Yes, the dealer charged me $75 for the fuse replacement. I will now do a check to see if there is a disruption of the wires. The running lights are connected to the battery.

Well, the reason the ABS was flashing and no brake lights was due to a blown fuse. The dealer fixed that but I am not sure the issue is resolved. When they did the valve check and put in a new batteryI think they may have pinched the wiring to my Denali running lights. On the ride home from the...

As a side note, this issue came just after having the dealer replace my original battery.
