I tried to think of some dogpile words, but since I have not ridden on the street for the past couple of years and my off road riding has been mostly on an ATV, I really can't say anything other than I hope you enjoy whatever you choose.

Does it run well with the filler cap open? If the problem goes away then the pinched vent or clogged filler neck is probable, otherwise it is very likely to be debris, water or some other contaminate in the tank. It is easy to siphon off some of the tank contents with a hose as far down into the...

I thought it was a little odd that he was riding with his dog in a modified saddle bag until I met Mark and Duke in person at a rally. Both of them were very cool and I'm sorry to hear this news.

:(

I have only owned one, my '05. I was surprised at how capable it is from the first time I rode it, but I think that's true for all FJRs. Mine has over 150,000 miles on it and never gave me any trouble. I enjoyed every mile. The only thing I would prefer would be less heat on the rider, and I...

I would keep it simple. Drain the fuel with a siphon pump and put in fresh fuel. Make sure the tires are not cracked, then I'd fire it up and see how it goes and stops. Once you know it's good to go, then the normal maintenance items should be attended to.

When I was there in 2013 I seem to remember seeing an FJR on display, but I can't find a picture of it, so I may be wrong.

I have a Russell Day Long on my '05. I was able to ride 1000 mile days on the stock seat, but did get sore and tired. When a used RDL became available I bought it. It was not custom made for my butt, but I took the cover off the seat and adjusted the foam several times until I was satisfied...

I know nothing about the chemistry and reactions of the various fuels, but I do read the manual when I buy a piece of equipment and follow what it says in order to protect my investment. That said, most of my small engines with carburetors get corn free high octane gas because it works well and...

Another FJR riding friend gone. So sad to hear this. I have not been paying attention and did not know that he was sick. The older I get the more friends I lose, and each time I hear about one I feel the loss. I don't know who I am going to ask next time I have a difficult technical question...

My Tundra is a 2019, and I do like the ACC on it. I still use the accelerator at times to close the gap in front of me when the traffic is heavy. I think it is very handy to use the ACC to slow me down when I catch up to a vehicle in the same lane. I look forward to the day, if it ever happens...

All those electronics sound nice..... until something breaks. I don't like the looks, but worse is the fact that it has chain drive. I suppose it is a nice machine for people who want that style of motorcycle, but it is not close to a replacement for the FJR without shaft drive. Edit: I just...

FWIW, I use a Kisan modulator. It is legal in all 50 states and Canada. As stated above, it is annoying if you have it on and are following other vehicles, but it only modulates when you have your high beams on during the daylight so you can easily turn it off during the day by switching your...

Mice need to get water every day, so they leave the nest daily. They navigate primarily by scent. Some strong peppermint scent usually works to confuse them so they can't find their trails and causes them to move on. Also, they can't regurgitate. A ring of lime around your vehicle will cause...

Something else I have done is to slip a length of half inch pipe insulation onto the top of the fairing between the fairing and the tank on both sides. It doesn't help cool down the tank but it does keep some of the hot air off of the rider.

The instructions for the Cromeit heat fix that LauraM placed on Facebook can be found here: FJR1300 first Gen heat fix You have to be a Facebook user and you have to join the FJR1300 Enthusiasts page in order to see it.

The heat shield is spelled "Cromeit". I googled it and found a lot of references to it, but the instructions seem to be lost in the internet ether. The instructions included a template that you could print and use to mark the sheet metal for cutting, so perhaps someone still has a printout of...

I rode the entire BRP in well under 15 hours. I was with Thingfish who used to participate on this forum. We both had ridden the BRP several times before in tourist mode so we were not interested in stopping for pictures. We were traveling at well over the speed limit most of the time and did...

Some people have noticed a wobble at speed when using a tail trunk, especially a big one or heavily loaded one. In your case I would think it is more likely the tire you have chosen. Although your FJR will not perform like a full out sport bike, it will hold it's own on the street with tires...

Nope. NY and NJ both require helmets and insurance for all riders regardless of age.
