    Battery pig-tail o.e.m. on '16?

    As much as I ride in the cold, and as much as I hate the cold, this reminds me that I need to install a second pigtail, same as the first. If one shorts or blows a fuse, I’ll be able to switch over without stopping or pulling the battery cover. Since I have an extra fused lead anyway...

    Battery pig-tail o.e.m. on '16?

    I use one of the pigtails that came with my warmnsafe heated gear. Also powers my aerostich tire pump. Direct to the battery.

    Is ES worth the money ?

    I put over 80,000 miles on my A. The suspension was still great when I sold it, despite spirited and often heavily laden use. I am quite enjoying the ES.

    Weird symptoms. Need your expertise please...

    My BMW seized up and had to have some costly repairs due to the evap/charcoal can belching gas/charcoal pudding into the fuel filter/pump. I’d look closely at something related to the charcoal canister or related hoses, since you’re getting symptoms after a fuel stop. If you’re a guy that puts...

    Is the preload on the rear shock on a ES adequate ?

    I am no lightweight. And the wife is 5’10. My 2018ES is good to go with both of us and the bags loaded to bursting. All day long.    I have owned an A and an ES back to back. Loved them both. I really like flicking a switch when the wife is getting on, or when I am hitting the mountains. But...

    Bluetooth EarBuds

    No. It goes behind your head.

    Bluetooth EarBuds

    I prefer integrated helmet comms. But I’ve run a lot of miles with shure 215k monitors. Superb sound. Excellent battery life.

    Gen-4 headlight modulator?

    Headlight modulators make a huge difference. Kind of like blinkers- if you leave them on all the time, you’re the problem, not the modulator. I talked to Kisan a couple of months ago. They said they were still working on one for gen IV FJR’s.

    :..Where did you buy your FJR - Dealer with best pricing..:

    First one- freedom powersports. Good price on the new bike. Gave me $1000 over blue book for my bmw. Second FJR, Mountain Motorsports of Kennesaw GA. They lied about mileage, lied about price, but they eventually got to where I needed them to get, on the only model available in my area. So I...

    6 speed tranny problems?

    I don’t have to shift any more frequently in the twisties with my 6 speed than I did with my 5 speed. I’ve been happy with both. I save 6th gear for interstate or highway speeds.

    7 Click GP Levers - Anyone?

    If that had been the case, I’d still be running those purty black levers...

    7 Click GP Levers - Anyone?

    I knew they were good because you said you used them and liked them. So I bought a set. They looked like they fit, but caused clutch slippage. I double checked everything. Something has changed at 2wheels. They’re either picking wrong parts or their manufacturing process is having issues.

    Handguards?

    I use barkbuster storm handguards in the winter. I love them. I also have the knuckle visors from Yamaha. They are very good, but not as good as the barkbusters.

    Shoei Neotec 2 Sizing

    Yep. You can make it looser but not tighter. You can turn an XL into an XXL but not into a L.

    Shoei Neotec 2 Sizing

    Mine took around three weeks. And it’s still sitting in its’ factory packaging, for sale. I continue to enjoy my identical, one size smaller, neotec 2.

    Shoei Neotec 2 Sizing

    I was sure the fact mine wasnt sized like any of my other helmets was due to it being from Europe. Imagine my consternation when we sat the ECE and the DOT helmets side by side and they were identical, inside and out. Not sure whats up with the Neotec 2.

    Top Box Wiring

    Ive only dealt with givi. I have an admore light bar, with the FJR plug-and-play harness, and the block for that allows no-cut wiring of top case lights. Id like to light my top case, but I dont want to drill holes in it.

    Shoei Neotec 2 Sizing

    Good that it worked out for you. I went to a local shop and picked up the large I ordered yesterday. It fits precisely like an XL in my other Shoei (non modular) and Nolans. It fits fairly well. While I normally couldnt stomach a large, I found I could actually wear a medium in the n2, but it...
