    Spider Bite? Code 14 & Dead

    My guess is it's the Power Commander. Remove it and see how the thing runs. Just a guess it will be fine.

    Final Drive Swap: 6th gear solution?

    I installed the taller FD gear mod on my '05 many years ago and ran that configuration for so 30K miles. At first I thought it was the cats meow especially while cruising out west on the freeway. However I did not like changing the total gearing especially in first gear when starting off going...

    Went down this p.m. on my way home from work

    I'd say just learn from your experience and you'll be a better rider. Every day is a learning experience and as Jay Leno said, "your never too old to fall down"! It's part of riding and part of life. Your way too young to lay down in a box and wait for the end to come!!

    I guess I'm going to have a little more time for riding now.

    Excellent! Work is way overrated! Time to really enjoy life!

    Split: Sena Use

    I'm not really sure either. I fiddle with it every time just because. However, it might remember the settings but I'd say try it and see how it goes.

    Split: Sena Use

    Ray, I'm assuming your using the SENA 20S. The volume for the intercom is the same dial control you use for the music. However, they both have to be set independently. I.E. , rotate the control for setting your music level and then while listening to some one talk on the intercom, rotate the...

    Motorcycle Communication Systems

    We have 3 SENA 20S units and one 20S EVO and they all work great!

    Clake One Light Clutch

    For about the same $$ I installed the 2016 FJR OEM slipper clutch and it works great and requires considerably less effort to operate! Do a search and read all about it!

    Digital Speedos

    I have an older Tom Tom GPS installed with a program that shows digital speed (nice large numerals) , compass direction, max speed, average speed, Odometer, etc etc. It works great and is very accurate. The program that is installed and providing that info is called TripMaster. Check it out...

    dropped my new fjr!

    I've dropped my '05 four times since I bought it 12 years ago. First drop was about 2 days after taking ownership. Stopped on a steep hill with a cross street and didn't notice the road fell off steeply to the side. Went to put my foot down and typical story, nothing but air under my foot...

    Max weight capacity for side cases?

    Thanks everyone for your inputs. Yup, your right, there is a 'warning' sticker inside the case saying 22 lbs. Unbelievable that I have owned this bike for 12 years and have never read that sticker. Always some thing to learn! Thanks again.

    Max weight capacity for side cases?

    Is there any kind of guidelines for how much weight the side cases might be rated for?

    Sturgis 2017 Anyone?

    Good chance we may be out there about the same time period. Will keep an eye out for you.

    Split: Sena Use

    I've been using the 20's for quite awhile and it's worked perfect EXCEPT for the music sharing function. The music sharing does work however there are numerous 'dropouts' or 'breaks' in the music when in the sharing mode. The normal music listening mode works perfect. The music is contained...

    Here I Go Again...

    Sounds like a fun trip so far Julie. Be careful and keep the shinny side up! Will be heading out that same way in about mid August for a month.

    Skipping and clacking at low speed

    Not only detailed descriptions but also a good You Tube video produced by Two Wheeled Obsession (Brian). Try Google, I'm sure it will all show up.

    Best Adhesive for Sidecase Protector

    What Fred said I strongly second. Using RTV or any other silicone based product could create problems later for you if you decide you want to use another non silicone product. Silicone products will leave a residue behind, after you think you have removed it, that impedes bonding of other...
