If the CEL is on, there is at least one code in the ECU. What does the Torque Pro app show?

I'd like to know who rebuilds the rear shock for the ES models. I have a '16 ES with 44K trouble-free miles on the clock and the rear shock has become a bit under-damped. The bike gets a bit unsettled in the twisties and I've noticed when coming to a stop there is a bit of bounce that wasn't...

Welcome from Franklin... the one in Indiana. My first FJR was a Raven on Raven '09. I racked up over 30K mi. on that bike. I have a '16 Cobalt Blue ES now. I've added almost 40K mi. to this one in the 3 years I've owned it. They're fantastic machines. Enjoy and ride safe! --Kev

Glad you got it sorted out!

Doing the tests is the easiest place to start. If you don't hear that relay "click" when you press the horn button with the ignition switch on, put one probe of a voltmeter on the 86 or 87 terminal and the other probe on a good ground point. Depending on how it was wired, you'll either see 12V...

Ok, the horn button gets power from the signal fuse. If the fuse is bad, your signals won't work either. Lets start there. Do the turn signals still work? If not, to check that fuse, you'll only need to remove the cover over the battery ( 2 screws and 2 push pin rivets). You can use the 4mm...

What year and model are we talking about?

You'd never guess that this loverly bunch-o-coconuts is the brain trust that makes the magic happen. What a great crowd! Somebody else is going to have to tag everyone here so I don't embarrass myself. Way to "smile" for the camera Ray!

Where all the magic happens... Thank you Geek Man! I tried to capture your good side.

Love the "Root Beer" on this 2007. Hey wait...shouldn't that thing have wheels?

What a blast! Got my throttle bodies sync'd and she is purring like a kitten! Took a few miscellaneous shots myself and here we go...

I thought I'd stop by on either Friday afternoon/evening or Saturday morning. Since I'm going to be in your neighborhood...(ok, the state of Ohio anyway). My bike is ready for a throttle body sync but I won't have any tools with me. That might be something that could possibly take longer than...

Looking back on the original reason for Gene taking the bike to a "dealer" was for brake lights that were inop after a battery replacement. We'd have to guess but, since the "tech" was looking at electrical stuff, removal/disconnection of the Skene and any other accessories would be a logical...

No motorcycle tech would claim to have worked on any bike for 18 hours and returned it to a customer in that condition. There is no cause, need or reason to drain coolant to work on an issue with brake lights. If there were, in fact, air trapped in the cooling system, it is more likely that...

Yeah, this shouldn't be rocket science. I'm 20 miles south of Indy so, it would be a bit of a haul for you. If you want to bring it over here, I'd like to see this for myself. I can't guarantee a fix but, I'd be willing to give it a try if your old school guy doesn't work out.

Pages 9-6 to 9-46 of the service manual have the trouble codes you might encounter as well as explanations and some basic diagnostic procedures. The service manual is your friend.

The OBDII connector on the gen III bikes is under the seat usually secured under the seat latch bridge. I use an adapter, a dongle and the Torque Pro app on my phone to read real-time data, look at codes and reset if appropriate. The adapter and dongle are both available on Amazon (separately)...

I'm calling phony-baloney! There are too many indicators that this is a total fabrication that I lost count. Might I suggest that someone is trying to determine interest? Sure looks like click bait and, of course, I took the hook, line and sinker! Hahaha...
