This is my first FJR. 997 miles, ambient temp 53f, cursing along at 60-70mph. Cold coolant level is just above half way between low and high marks on center stand.
While riding 60-70mph--Look down and notice C. Temp change from 189f to 140f. WTF? Keep watching and every 5-6 seconds at...
Kerosene for the quick wipey clean of black wheels. Seriously. Takes longer to check my tire pressure than to hit it with kerosene on a rag, which I do, uh, during tire pressure checks....
I PM'd Fairlaner since he was so helpful with my dash panel removal (over Facetime no less), but I must have taken advantage of his good (ahem) nature, because he didn't respond. Let's temporarily hijack this thread for you to tell (or PM) me with the best way to remove it. In the past I've...
I know you didn't ask for opinions, but I recommend the Givi or Shad, and you indicated possible ability to change your order.. Here's my Givi, installed with SR357 rack on my 2013:
So, 2nd time yesterday I hit the start button only to have a moment of "oh ****" panic, then relief to realize I'm trying to start the bike with the hazard light toggle switch, which is where the start switch is on every other bike I've owned. Like the new start switch, but this arrangement has...
Tried on a Schuberth at BMW dealer, and the same Medium that fits me in everything else did not seem to fit. Also, not sure about them straps. I've gotten used to D-rings and just go with them....
Had been thinking about this helmet since I saw it. I have the Olympia hi vis yellow stripe one piece summer suit that this will match nicely. And even if not wearing the suit I hope it makes me 1% more visible.
I've decided I like retractable sun visors. Even if the helmet loses its SNELL...
Thanks. Didn't miss the tip and I appreciate it. Haven't done it though. The problem I have is not the angle of the lid. The problem I have is little stuff (Like a Glock 19 in a Wilderness Pack) sliding out of left bag onto lid while bike is on the side stand. My solution when planning to...
Nope. See the lobster claw quick release on the key? That's how all my keys are--PO Box key, Givi top box key, bike keys. Key goes in by itself, so keyring is "modular". Did I mention I'm anal?.... If you don't believe it, check the engraving on the key--because my FZ1 keys looks...
If you Google the part number RIGHT NOW there is another on on Ebay for $39.99 and free shipping. Here's link. Since you're the mod if this is not right please delete link...
Ha ha. Thought that too. They have 3--THREE copies on DVD. This is what they use. Like the dealer Fairlaner bought his from--they don't use the paper copy. Paid $50 for a high quality phone book......8-)
Here's some more details:
Product is the Kisan P115W-D. You can see it at www.kisantech.com.
It's a very straightforward plug and play except for lack of space to work. Basically:
Pull both bulb plugs out. Good luck. Spent a couple hours figuring this out from above and below while trying...
