'08 Service Manual -- Sold

I have the '08 Service Manual. It's in good condition, but it is used. I think it was $90 new. I'll take $30 if you pay actual shipping cost. You pick the shipper. Ed

Are you still looking for this seat? Ed

There's no trick. It is indeed a PITA. I finally installed a K&N on my '05 and never looked at it again. I've done the same on my '08 and will never check it again. What are those engineers thinking? Ed

Hope this helps out, Wicked Webby It helped a lot. I had installed Walker's Holeshot slip-ons on my '08 (previously had them on my '05) and really hated the decel pop I was getting. Thanks to your instructions I gave it a go and with some input from others, who did the same, I used another...

The '08 is certainly more enjoyable than my '05 that I rode for 52K. Less heat, better seat, much better display, nice brakes with less dive and bars that can be adjusted to an acceptable height and reach... and oh yes, much less heat. Nice bike.

Did you need a Service Manual for the '08 as stated in the OEM Grip instructions?

Thanks for the update Toe. It looks to me like the delay is with Michelin. My local distributor has had orders in since before you put this together and his delivery date has continued to slip on him, also. Guess I'll have to put something else on since my rear tire is finished. Thanks again...

Hey Toe, Has the Distributor received the shipment? When does he plan to start shipments to us?

I'm in. Thanks for putting this together Toe.

I also sent an email to Avon. As a long time user of Azaro tires I wasn't pleased with the mileage of the last two sets of Storms, so I let them know that I wasn't pleased with their "improvements". They sent the following reply: Thank you for contacting Avon Tyres. We are working on a more...

I was part of the "buy a rear and get a free front tire" program by Pirelli for the D. Stradas. I got 6465 miles on the rear and 8160 on the front. I had run lots of Avon 45/46s on other bikes and two sets on the FJR and was very pleased with them. Also had a pretty good idea how far to push...

I also had this problem after a long ride. I did wash it while it was still warm, but I didn't think it was hot, then put it away for several days. Would crank fine but not fire. Tried the full open throttle, then key, then crank. Still no start. Had it towed to dealer who found no fault...

I've washed lots of bikes and never paid any attention to water in the exhaust, but ... I've never had a bike with cats or fuel injection before either. Does anyone know what water will do to hot catatylic converters? Can the beads fracture? Ed

In the Owner's Manual (the small one), under "Care", we are told to cover the muffler tips before washing. What is the reason for this? What happens if you don't? Ed

I haven't tried a Mustang Gel Seat but I did have the stock '05 seat modified by a local seat builder. He reduced the forward width and hard edge and inserted a gel pad in the stock seat. Probably not a Russell but pretty darn good. Had done several many (300 mi.+) long rides but still use...
