Seattle, WA area. I purchased it new back in Jan 2009 and it has been garaged its whole life. It is in great shape with no scratches. Low miles but ridden yearly. It has an extended/tilted handlebar adapter, a custom long distance seat, and a supabrake brake light flasher. Both side bags...

So after four years, my Givi E55 that got a free bundle of LED lights has had four LEDs on the right side fail. These are stock LEDs and not the admore (sp?) kit. Anyone else ever seen this?

last year I created an electronic tbs vacuum measuring tool. This last week with the nice weather but being totaling sick (I hate colds) I brought out the tool and did some work on the software. One feature I added was RPM, and another was showing the total change in vacuum per cylinder; as...

I was online looking at the REI sale and found a new spot device is shipping, uses four batteries, specifically calls out that rechargeable batteries are supported, and includes a usb port for external power. looks like the basic subscription was increased to $150 from the $99; but information...

Sorry, no pictures. I was in Southern Oregon last week visiting family, and took a few days afterwards to take some scenic backroads I have never been on. One was Cow Creek Road. Its not a long road and starts and ends basically on I-5. But it the complete trip I seen two logging trucks, and...

I found and contacted BentBike. They stated they haven't seen a 2006 or newer FJR come through. Are there any others that others know about? Just looking for a seat pan (or seat in poor condition) to do some experimenting on until I can get a Russel.

I previously had the dealer do this but other postings here finally convinced me to just do it. After seeing what came out, I think I need to start doing this yearly. Clicky To Instructable

In the 06-09 FAQ, it lists the oil capactity as... Engine Oil: 5.18 Qt total, 4.02 Qt without cartridge, 4.23 Qt with cartridge change It the total is 5.18 quarts, what does the 4.23 quart with cartridge mean? To me, it reads like if you don't change the filter cartridge, expect 4.02 quarts...

Got new ties put on (thanks NW Tech meet), and 90 degree valve stems. I got them home and after I assembled it and took it out for a ride. I left the saddle bags off as I wanted to check the install after a short tide. Well the short ride turned into 40min (wow, new tires, love em). when I...

I know it doesn't really matter as what you look for is getting them all similiar; but I was looking a pile of pressure sensors and the electronic gadget part of brain thought; I could build a sync tool if these pressure (vacume) sensors were in range to what the FJR willl draw. Anyone have an...

My local store had both the short and long version. Not a big savings, but thought I would mention it.

A little intro: One of my hobbies is electronics, and rather than just buy and install a FuseBlock or other assorted power distribution/control solutions; I wanted to build my own. Its a sickness, just accept it. That and lots of rain here in the PNW. My project: There seems to always be...

I havn't been to Vashon island yet and thought it would be a great way to spend part of day riding and still get back in time for a BBQ. The temps were in the low 70s there while the rest of Puget sound was getting 80s. Great day for a ride. It was a short half hour ride from my place to the...

I tried several techniques to install them, including the soapy water and none made it easy. I ended up slowly working them on taking close to 15 minutes each of strenous stroking (snicker all you want, the method worked). After 20 minutes of trying different things and 5 minutes into the only...

I have never had a flat on a bike myself, and I was wondering which tire it happens on most.

On my ride into work this morning I had two close calls both from drivers making radical maneuvers in tight but moving traffic. I wish I caught them on "tape" to share the experience. When I got to work I started thinking about what if you had several small cameras mounted to capture a good...

Late meetings at work keep from picking up the bike until after dark. Although I got a dry ride home (often rare here in the PNW) it was very cold (37) and traffic was extra slow. Finally a full member of the forum after all this time. (Updated Sunday, Jan 18th 2009) Sun came out and the...

Cydel GPS HD Radio, Bluetooth for both phone and stereo headset, and of course a GPS. Its not water proof, but still I like those features.

I am not talking about the technical aspect of using them, I am talking about the feature in general. I have heard on several threads talk about importance of routes on the GPS. My current cheap-azz GPS doesn't have them but I plan to upgrade soon. But I am unsure why they would be important...

Yamaha's web site mentions Monday Sept 8th at 3pm EST that they will intro new 2009 models.
