For anybody interested the rear brake caliper on a 2005 is not exactly the same as a 2008. The bleeder is on the top of a 2005 instead of on the side as on the 2008 and the bolt that attaches the brake line has a larger head on the 2005 and instead of the fluid going through the hole in the...

Thank You very much!

I have pictures in an old post rear paed( forgive my spelling) disintegrated. It is the inside half of the caliper that the piston goes in. Thank you for the reply. It sounds like the calipers are the same

I have the tool but am confused about using the glove. Maybe sometime when doing your service a picture would be much appreciated. Thank you

After my rear brake stuck and I put all new parts except the caliper,I noticed the contact part of the caliper to the inside brake pad is not good as the caliper was damaged more then I thought I am only getting about half of the brake pad making contact on the inside (left side) of the rotor...

Everything is or was original. A good rider would have stopped with the loss of power instead of more throttle. I appreciate all the help and advise in it not happening again.

I did the throttle spring and also added the Vista cruise. If you are going to add a Vista then you really don't need tp lesson the tension in my opinion because you can lesson it with the vista cruise. Another tip I learned from the board is using the Vista from the Honda. I filed it thinner...

Here is a pic this is not lower where shiny but higher https://i749.photobucket.com/albums/xx133/C...heRotors001.jpg I t looks like some of my bad welds back in the day! Thanks for the help with the pics!

On a post back in August I described how my brake pads had disintegrated. Now after working on my other bikes I have gotten back to the FJR. It appears that the parts melted to the hard parts. I have pictures if I only understood how to show them! Question, should I file off the melted metal or...

Thanks I was considering the Galfer rotors. So you helped me make my decision to go slightly cheaper,EBC. I see the Galfer's are pricey on the front but if they worked better I would save up for them eventually. Hope for an update. Thanks

If you want to get fancy you can run a relay off the small blue wire for the heated grips near the left storage box. Then your GPS and any other accessories only works with the bike running, Not good if doing things where you want to see your gps when parked. It makes it almost imposable to have...

Would an EBC be a good rotor choice in your opinion? Thanks again !

Thank you for the great advice. What pads do you recommend? Sorry I couldn't spell pads! The system was so hot that initially I had very little front brake, is that because the system is linked? The strange thing is that I had hardly touched the rear brake as I was only on the Freeways, must...

My wife and I had ridden about 100 mile with no problems. We stopped for lunch and were going about 80 on a California Freeway for 20 miles when I felt the bike lose some power. My bike was smoking as the rear brake pad on the right side was in pieces and wedged in the smoking disc. Brake fluid...

Thank You HighYoSilver, Unless somebody has a better way my first questions appears answered. I now plan to use the heated grip wire for the trigger. I will try to locate it, a more more detailed description in locating the wire would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Main Question I was planning on using the tail light wire to trigger the relay for a Blue Sea under the seat fuse block install. I have read a forum post mentioning the magic blue wire that deactivates when the starter is engaged. How do I find this magic wire? Is it a better choice...

This is the E 470 Simply III As far as I can tell. Priced about the same as far as I can tell!

If you are not prepared to ride physically you could try riding an exercise bike or bicycle to prepare those unique muscles :0). I have taken the advice I learned on this group of wearing bicycle shorts under my CYCLEPORT pants on longer rides for extra comfort. After awhile 300 to 500 mile days...

I Have the +2 and at 5' 10" I never look through the flip. I Generally raise the shield on the freeway and open road and lower it all the way down so that I see over it when riding the twisties at the expense of my ears. I ride with a tinted shoei or arai shield and my cee baily is also tinted...
