I tapped into the power connection inside the front left cubby... with help... to make my GPS hard wired and switched. Works like a charm, my gps is always on, and off at the right times. This won't support a tire pump or big heated gear as it's a smaller fused connection, and would blow...

( start at 3 mins) This is an old clip of the FJR ADV style... (not me)

If you look at it like a belly button, get the one with the 'innie' not the one with the 'outie'.

FYI ... the Stich is SOLD.

I looked it up repeatedly... 4 x SB8125L (M8 x 1.25) for the front and clutch. 1 x SB7100S (M7 x 1.0) for the rear. I already have a bag so $25 + 10 shipping = $35.

Got 5 Speed bleeders. Thanks John!

+1 for Garauld stuff! I have the highway pegs w/ Rivco pegs... look great but I still hit my fairing trying to get to them. Also, note you can stretch out to the sliders in the same pic. Any new position (even back to the passenger pegs) helps prevent leg soreness. YMMV

I believe Yuasa is from Japan and is OEM. The others seem to be from China ... and are almost always less quality and less longevity... for less moola. My buddy from Taiwan says 'always buy from Japan whenever possible'. YMMV

...and considerably more fragile as well. I dropped mine due to rolling off the kickstand and dinged the engine case, the fairing, broke the mirror and the stay, and scratched the pipe (no bags on). I fixed the mirror and the stay (with a lot of friends help) and replaced the plastic. I can...

If you're carrying a pillion, you probably NEED the extra storage of a box. I have the Givi 55 and it holds 2 FF helmets. The Yamaha box doesn't.

Congrats on buying the Fastest and lightest of all the FJRs!!! Now ask the P.O. why he sat around instead of going riding? Everything is old and dry and bad. Start with all new fluids, and tires, and lube everything you can find. Listen for any 'ticking'. I loved my 2003, but it ONLY had 78k...

This is... 'My worst nightmare... realized'. I try to see ahead whenever the 'left turn nightmare' approaches, but just today someone did it (bad left turn right in front of me) in my BUICK!

By way of an update... The Stich is a Roadcrafter R3 Light made in 2013. Excellent condition and $1200 new. Please check it out or tell your XL friends. Thanks, Roger

FYI... The CL ad linked is for the trailer (twice) not the bike ad. She's a beaut! GLWS

Damnnnnnnn ... I have seen high mileage trends before ... but this is incredible !!! So my general take from this log is ... Avon Storm = sticky and medium mileage Avon Storm 2 = sticky and long mileage Pirelli Angel = sticky and medium mileage Michelin PR_ = sticky and long mileage...

I think of tires kinda like I think of helmets... Since it's the only thing between you and (maybe) the road ... get the best you can afford.

You got it. Sent you a pm. Too bad mama yama hasn't fixed this yet.

Many FJR riders have also had Connies.... the C10 or C14 Concours. Look up www.cog-online.org and join another great group of sport-tourers. The moto is 'Join for the bike... stay for the people'. We don't care what brand you ride, just ride. Most regions have at least a ride each month, and...
