    Would you buy a 07 with 63K miles

    For me the PCIII and g2 throttle tube fixed the throttle lurch completely, it was not an issue for me with this specific bike.

    Would you buy a 07 with 63K miles

    I seldom check this forum since I moved on to a Super Tenere. How strange to sign in and find my old FJR. I sold this bike to a guy from Florida last June. I was the original owner. It was serviced regularly. At the time of sell the bike ran great. It had a Penske rear shock and front springs...

    I haven't gone anywhere yet. I will always be back to checkout the posts on lean angle and trail braking

    SOLD------2007 FJR With lots of good stuff- $5,700

    For photos: https://florencesc.craigslist.org/mcy/3823159826.html Selling my 2007 FJR1300A. It currently has 61,000 miles. It may have more miles later as I ride it regularly. I wanted a comfortable bike to ride single or 2-up to the mountains and then enjoy twisty mountain roads. My wife...

    Rotella T6 causing clutch drag and hard shifting?

    BWV the symptoms you describe are the same I had with dry clutch plates on my 07. I let it go for 12,000 miles before I got it fixed. It took that long for the symptoms to get bad enough for the service tech to admit I had a problem. At first I thought it would get better with time or I would...

    another cruise install question

    Oh cool I get to screw up a thread with tiny detail no one cares about. The ball chain and the cable sliding inside of the servo cable attachment both allow for the servo to only pull, they are actually redundent. There was actually an install on the old Concours 1000 site where the installer...

    another cruise install question

    Ionbeam is right about the spring. It moves the vacuum cup to the default closed position in the absence of negative pressure within the vacuum chamber (the off/closed) position. The cable slides back and forth inside of the servo cable attachment as the throttle moves in and out of the servo...

    iPhone 5 as GPS?

    The only thing I really miss using my iPhone 5 and the Garmin GPS app is the ability to build and load custom custom routes. When reasonable I ride backroads by preference and this ususally requires a custom route.

    iPhone 5 as GPS?

    There are a few apps for the iPhone 4, 4s, and 5 that loads all of the maps in memory, over 5 gigs worth of maps. Garmin makes an app, Garmin U.S.A., that I like a lot. I use my iPhone connected via bluetooth for music, podcasts, and GPS. The GPS app is a power hog so it needs to be charged...

    FJR Unsuitable for Passenger with Top Box Fitted?

    This problem has been reported enough over the years that I was reluctant to use the stock rack with a top box. I avoided the issue by mounting my top box on a Givi rear rack. The Givi rack is kind of ugly but I think it distributes the stress more effectively.

    main key/steering/ignition lock failing

    A local locksmith was able to make and new key for me when the only key I had wore out and was difficult to use. Cutting a new one from the orignial was a failure. He looked at my key, asked the make, year , and model, and pulled a code from a book. He used this info to make a new key that...

    Audiovox (like) cruise died on AE

    I repaired a bad servo just by replacing the "hockey puck" that includes the electronics and solenoids. I left everything else in the system unchanged, took about 30 minutes to do the 1st time. I could probably switch out the "hockey puck" component in 10 minutes now.

    The Evil that is 13....

    This was an equal oppertunity problem. My 07 with clutch had to have the plates replaced because of this issue.

    Brand New 2012 - dropped during make ready

    This might at least make me think about stalling until the 2013 FJR is on the market. I dropped my 07 when it was kind of new. I suspect I just barely bent the front sub-frame for the left mirror. it has been slightly (maybe 1/8 of an inch)out of alignment for 50K miles. This shows up in the...
