    How to drop your FJR and not damage it...

    Slow speed maneuvers are scary...being ready to straighten her up seems to be key...along with a lot of practice and different experiences...but when she is leaning too far...there is nothing you can do. Thank goodness you came out of it with little or no damage and no wrenched back.

    Riding Hot

    When riding in very warm or hot weather, especially in slow or stop and go traffic, I notice the temperature gauge goes up past the halfway point and sometimes even more. Is this normal?

    Just Bought Used 2008 FJR

    Bought this bike in September...Very Happy...A lot of fun to ride. The bike did not come with the owner's manual...I have a minor question. When the fuel gauge gets to one level and is flashing to show it is on reserve, the trip 1 goes to "F" and begins a count up from "0" in miles...can...
