    New Bluetooth TPMS Coming Out...

    Thanks for the replies. The Gen III does have the threaded hole in the clutch reservoir. I'm currently using that for a ram mount that I have for my cell phone. I've seen the section of velcro at Lowes. Just never seen anything from 3M. I already have some super sticky velcro (name brand)...

    I'm not so talented in the fabrication department.

    I was hoping to pick some up locally Do you have an example of one?

    Honestly I'm not married to the idea of drilling a hole in the steering nut. I got the idea from seeing the Ram mount balls drilled into the nut. Where did you get the 3m dual lock? I did a quick on-line search at Lowes and Home Depot and didn't come up with anything. I've stared at my FJR...

    New Bluetooth TPMS Coming Out...

    Finally got around to installing the Tire Watch sensors. It was an all day affair since it was my first time removing the wheels from the bike. Plus removing the tires is never quick and easy. The sensors paired up no problem with the receiver. I took it for a quick ride and everything seems...

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    Did a 700mi round trip this weekend. Phoenix to Vegas and back. First long trip on the FJR. My last leg coming back was Kingman to Phoenix, 222 miles. I got the low fuel warning about 10 miles from home. Went to fill up today and I was only able to fit 5.49 gals. So I had over a gal left in...

    I'm definitely going with some tapered roller head bearings if changing out the Bridgestone OEM tire doesn't work. I'll probably wait until I get some decent wear on the front tire before replacing it though.

    I have a strong suspicion it will as well.

    New Bluetooth TPMS Coming Out...

    Thanks for the reply. I picked the bike up a few days ago and the problem still exists. Instead of a violent swing of about 3", now the bars are reduced to about 1/2". I'm really upset with the dealer right now. When they brought the bike out it was covered in a thick coating of dust...

    Yeah, had some head-shake on decel slowing from 50-40mph. Torquing the head-bearings down didn't solve the problem. We'll see if the new bearings do the trick.

    They got the bearings in last Friday, but I guess I'm the low guy on the totem poll. They couldn't get to installing them until today. I should be picking my bike up later this afternoon. A little frustrating having my bike gone for so long. I'll be busy for the few days, but should have time to...

    Givi E52 or E55?

    Yup. You guessed it.

    I have two tire pressure gauges, a Stockton digital and a Longacre analog. Both read the exact same pressure while the FOBO sensors seem to read about 1 psi less.

    New Bluetooth TPMS Coming Out...

    So after some further research, I found out that the Tire Watch sensors do NOT have a replaceable battery. It seems most TPMS sensors do not have replaceable batteries. There are videos on youtube of people ripping sensors apart to change the batteries. Most of them are glued together and...

    Givi E52 or E55?

    I went with the 55. Two helmets will fit very nice. Go big or go home I say. What kind of QC issues was the 55 having? I got the Admore kit as well. I'm happy with the setup.

    Great write up, thanks for posting.

    New Bluetooth TPMS Coming Out...

    So I'm sitting at my computer and FOBO sends a notification to my phone telling me my tire pressure is below the preset limit. Whoa, I didn't know it would do that. My bike is in the garage and I'm in my office. There's about 25ft and two walls in between my phone and the bike. I do have a...

    New Bluetooth TPMS Coming Out...

    Good question. I don't remember seeing anything in the manual about replaceable batteries in the sensors. I'll take a closer look at the sensors and see if they look like they are replaceable. I have a nomar tire changer, so it's no biggy for me to put the sensors in. Gives me an excuse to get...

    Received the Tire Watch package in the mail yesterday. The FJR is till at the dealer having new head bearings installed. Should get around to putting these in sometime next week.

    New Bluetooth TPMS Coming Out...

    Good question. I don't think so....as of right now anyway. I removed the sensor to see if it would send me a warning. It did not. If you have the app running, it takes about 5 seconds to refresh and tell you what the current pressure is.
