    Brass Specs in Oil

    A simple an inexpensive oil analysis is worth it. If nothing else, it feels good to read the analysis that tells you how good your oil and engine are doing. It's only $25.00 from Blackstone. Yes, a history of oil samples will tell a story, but for the most part you will get a report that says...

    Hit and Run

    Sorry to hear about the situation. I wouldn't get my hopes up on the criminal side. A close friend had a road rage incident where the car drive got in front and purposely slammed on the brakes lead to a terrible get off and severe injuries. Lots of witnesses and even some who chased the car...

    Compared to other bikes you have owned what do you like most and the least about the fjr.

    Likes: - reliabilty - power - lots of bike for the money\ Dislikes: - battery and associated wiring location - cluttered, difficult to access nose area - speedometer difficult to read (should have 360 degree sweep instead of 270, no need to show 190mph, scale is often in shadow created by...

    When you joined The Forum...

    I did not notice this thead until today. I've read some very interesting responses and thought I'd add mine (though not saying mine will be interesting). I joined when I realized that my high-mileage BMW was getting to the point where expense repairs were coming sooner than later. I joined...

    I must have Fried something. Bike won't start

    This will not help with your current situation, but for future reference: Automatic battery chargers/tenders need to read at least a small voltage from the battery to function. A completely dead battery will not be "seen" by the charger. In a situation like this you need to use a manual...

    center stand

    Here is a link to a method I use that makes it very easy to put the FJR on the center stand. After using this a few times I found I did not need the coupling, only the piece of pipe. https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php/topic/152571-center-stand-lifting-aid-original/

    I need a starting point for a throttle sync

    I'm helping a friend with a throttle sync on a neglected 2004 fjr using my Motion Pro sync tool. The problem is that I'm unsure number 3 cylinder is set 'correctly', in other words, the ajustment screw seems to be way too far in, only about 1/2 turn from bottomed out. I know I only have to...

    Help for the Anemic Gen II Turn Signal Indicators

    Sorry. I hadn't been following this since I first posted it. They method I used, and the way I tapped into the wires might be overly complex for a causual tinkerer. The simplest way would be to buy two LEDs, one for each side. They can be mounted next to each other in the same location I...

    Rotella not good?

    I made the serious mistake of putting ro-tel in one of my bikes. I had to get a new bike and new bifocals.

    Welcome to the garage, little sister !

    Nice. I looked into a few VFRs before my Ducati lured me in. They are a nice fit for the FJR.
