I'd start with changing ALL fluids, brake, oil, coolant and perhaps fork oil. Check and or replace air filter and inspect the brake pads, then go ride it :)

I'm glad you made it through the crash mostly unscathed and understand how fast the crash can be but for the love of Mike stay away from laces on shoes when riding a moto for many reasons. Yours came off faster than a Prom dress, I never even thought that would happen but now it can be added to...

Mount them as high as possible, really helps at night.

So did you get them working? You will like them!

One of those Chinese bikes? Asking for a friend.

IN! I'll stop by the drive thru around the corner and load up on the Coors light.

Thanks for the update JP. A few of us southerners were wondering if there was going to be another Why Not. Glad to hear it's back on the radar. All the best to you and Mel dealing with your Mom's care. You are a good son.

What's next Simon...a Prius?

Some of you old timers may remember Mark Eddy and his dog Duke and then Duchesses from the early Ruben runs in La Pine, Or. I have kept in touch with Mark via Facebook and rode with him in Arizona some years back. His sister posted this on fb.... "I post with a heavy heart. My brother Mark...

Talked to Kevin today, new fuel pump installed and all is good!!!

Don't be a cheap arse. Buy the quality textile. Be sure the jacket will zip to the pants to avoide it from riding up your torso in case you end up sliding down the road. In 2012 Bambi totaled my 04 FJR near Mt St. Helens and I spent some quality time sliding down the center of the highway at 55...

Talked to Kevin, he cleaned injectors today(not too bad) and the bike ran idling but died when twisting throttle. He checked the fuel pressure and it was really low. New fuel pump on order. Thanks for all the calls and help!

I called and texted DC, hopefully he'll chime in.

Kevin and Marie are back in the US traveling on their 03 FJR. Long story short is the the bike sat 4 years in Texas and all went well when he fired it up (parked with a full tank of petro) but after riding to Ca it would not run right. He pulled the fuel pump and discovered rust - big time...

Don't fret JP, I see a Goldwing in your future sooner than you think :oops::cool:

Go! The Black Hills are unique and well worth the ride there. Not all that far from Texas on a FJR, just point it north and pin the throttle. :cool:

The wife would divorce me and take all my $$. I'd have to move in with you but at least once there I would have my choice of which FJR to ride each day. 😛

Go! It's a great location, even better people. I was hoping to make it from the left coast this year but my son is getting married and they won't change the dates for me;)

I have a slight downhill gravel driveway, easy to activate the abs at a safe slow speed. YRMV

If I had your money Fred I'd buy a new tire. However being the cheap *** ....err frugal guy I am I'd run the old one. Clear as mud, eh? 10 years is a loooooong time.
