My fans come on between 7 and 8 bars, usually sitting in stopped traffic on a warm day. As for number of bars during normal cruise situations, 4 on most days, 5 in mid-summer here in Arkansas.

I have a 2008A and have gotten low 40's with various forms of trips. I run a spreadsheet that I keep track of mpg, cost, and any notes. Right now with 5200 miles, overall average is 42. Not bad in my eyes. Dan

I'm adding one this winter to mine. I rode a friends motorcycle a couple years ago and people I work with commented on how they could see me when I was driving down the rode, thought something was wrong. I told them that it was to get peoples attention. They agreed that it worked well.

I just run mine to 260 miles, with 62 on the f-trip just this past weekend. Filled up with 6.145 gallons. Mostly highway miles though. As for running a late model fuel injection motor out of fuel, it is designed not to allow air to enter the injector lines, so there is nothing to reprime. As...

I will be there. Should be great weather...been in the upper 50's in the early morning and rising to the upper 70's to low 80's by mid-day. Hope to meet ya'all then. :)

Are we meeting at the Super 8 parking lot at 9?

Usually, we put the harleys in front so we can catch the parts, push start them, ect....as for question #2, Bentonville BMW is just to the north on 540.

I run Seafoam as an injector cleaner in my 08 FJR, and have used it in the past to unstick lifters in a 94 Buick. Good stuff. Also helped clean out the carbs on an 83 Kawasaki 440. Cat safe also. Also use it on my 99 Suburban and 08 Malibu. Just my $0.02 worth. Dan

I had mine stall this evening after sitting what felt like 4 or 5 minutes at a light. Sat so long that the fan kicked on. Normally just start to roll into the throttle when releasing the clutch. This time though, it lurched a inch then died. The only other time that this happens, it is when...

Only other thing I can think of is to unscrew the radiator cap, pull car out of way and drive in another car. Screw cap back on other car. :lol: I'm sure your son would love that one.

Something else I did not consider earlier. Did your son just start the car or had it run for at least 10 to 15 minutes? Did it really overheat? If he just started the car and discovered the gage pegged out (assuming it was started cold), then the problem could be electrical. That would also...

If the temp gage was reading to the hot side, or pegged, it was still working. Sounds like the real problem actually lies in the thermostat which is stuck closed. Best thing to do is to replace it with a new one. As for the check engine light, usually after 50 restarts with no faults, it will...

fjrb0, as a fellow new person to this forum, I purchased a couple of forum t-shirts to help identify me to others. I live in Springdale, and will be there daily, looking forward to meeting other members and enjoying the madness

Just received my two t-shirts and am pleased. I'll be wearing mine @ BBBQ as a newbie and hope to meet other owners there :D

Sorry to hear that you dropped your bike. I dropped mine in the dark, no one to see. Other than being flipped over the bike when it hit the ground, (still holding onto the handlebars), the bike suffered no damage. My ego was bruised though. I landed flat on my back on the other side of the...

Just checked mine, found no cracks. :yahoo: Thanks for the heads up though

I have also had the stalling, but my idle was at 850 even after the 600 mile service. After reading the forums a few days ago, I found mine up about four inches under the right side flip out panel. It took several turns before the idle moved up to 1100 and runs better, but is still slightly...

I'll be there. Actually is just around the corner from me, but have been just about every year since inception. With being a new member, I am looking to meet members in the FJRForum. Great BBQ and the Allman Brothers on Friday night. For more information, visit...

I found the same experience when I first purchased mine. The next grin :yahoo: came from merging on the highway with a lot of traffic moving quickly my way. I just pulled back on the trottle and watched the traffic disappear in the side mirror. :D Enjoy!
