    rough at idle and constant throttle

    Ok so, 2008 with 31k miles. It has recently started idling really roughly and also when holding a constant throttle setting. Turn the throttle and she still goes well. I've tried to search threads and so far see ... battery (new 2k miles ago), TBS (no sync tool), tps sensor, injectors and...

    2015 Black Hills FJR Roundup 25-28 June 2015

    Finally made it to the AllStar after dodging tornado warnings outside of Lusk. Unfortunately I didn't dodge the hail. That **** hurt! Rode in rain the last couple of hours. Guess that what's makes it an adventure, right? Drying out now. Any sort of a meeting spot at any watering-holes...

    2015 Black Hills FJR Roundup 25-28 June 2015

    Well, I'll be packing the bike up today and plan on leaving the Denver area tomorrow morning. I know a 400 mile ride is just a lunch-run for a lot of you guys but this will be my longest ride on the FJR so far. As a matter of fact it will be my longest ride in 20 years. To say I'm a bit...

    Another new battery in order?

    So I had some issues a month or two ago that I posted about and most people felt it was a problem with the battery. I coincidentally, left the darn key on right after asking on here, so since there was a question about the battery anyway, I went ahead and purchased a new battery. Everything...

    Route Suggestions after Spearfish?

    Thanks John. One thing is, after I leave Hamilton, I'll probably head south to Southern Idaho to see some friends. So that being the case, I think I may try this route. Leave Spearfish and slab it over to Buffalo, and then head to Worland via 16 and then North to Basin. Stay the night in...

I have three destinations I want to hit: Roundup, MT, Basin, WY and Hamilton, MT. I currently have no time frame (ok well, I do have to be back to work in...

    started but woulbn't throttle up

    Well, we will see if a new battery fixes the issue. I was hesitant to replace the battery for this, but since I went ahead and accidentally drained the battery I figured it was a good time for a new one. Of course I may never see the problem again and I'll never know what actually fixed it...

    90* valve stem issue

    Ok, so it's been an interesting couple of days. I got a new PR4 put on the rear Monday. No problem there. Yesterday I pulled the front and had it replaced. For both they asked about new valve stems. I had them install rubber 90* stems, figuring that would make it easier to check air...

    started but woulbn't throttle up

    Yea, I was thinking I might have to do a TB sync. Anyone in the Denver area got a Sync tool and want to help me do a sync? lol I hate the thought of spending $100 on a tool I might not use very often. Yep, I'm cheap! Burns1

    started but woulbn't throttle up

    I don't think the battery terminals were the issue. It turned over fine, started fine, just wouldn't take any throttle input at all. Fuel Pressure...no idea but other than this one little glitch, the bike ran great all day long. And I would have no idea how to check fuel pressure. (really...

    started but woulbn't throttle up

    I was out today on a ride and after about 100 miles we stopped to top up the tanks and warm up a bit. I went to leave the pump and the bike would start fine but as soon as I gave it any gas it would die. We pushed it off to the side and took a smoke and restroom break... about 10-15 minutes...

    2015 Black Hills FJR Roundup 25-28 June 2015

    Two things, go ahead and remove my Harley Buddy from my listing. He won't be able to make it, although I've got a couple of friends I might ask if they want to tag along. I'll let you know if that happens. And the other thing is, a coworker just bought herself an early birthday present of a...
