Cool. Another reference to this procedure. Let's bump this zombie.... This procedure worked for my FJR when nothing else did. Decel wobble banished. Old tires not a factor. Full load, no problem.

In Dec '17 I found 'Shucking the Shakes' by The Motorcycle Project. The procedure in the article cured my FJR of the Shakes / decel wobble thru today. There is no longer decel headshake with worn ragged tires. There is no longer decel headshake with a fully loaded bike. Worth a try if your...

I found the RF-1200 fit a little sportier than my RF-1100. Sportier in that the RF-1200 is 'relieved' in the neck area in back, which would better serve sport bike riding. I ended up buying new RF-1100 crown and cheek pads, and the helmet now fits like new.

Claim: The FJR is prone to low speed decel steering headshake. (Wobble)Support: Dozens, maybe hundreds, of rider complaints across multiple forums. To address your claim it is maintenance error. I have maintained my six bikes over 30 years and 248k miles. Only the FJR wobbles. I have a 93k...

This topic should be 'PINNED' in the Mechanical Problems section, so all the new members can become aware, and don't have to wonder what happened to their post when it gets instantly pushed to NEPRT. Crazy how this FJR weakness gets treated like a non-issue here. I have 5 other bikes that...

The 'mechanical seal' is likely to be fragile, so use care. Different bike, but Rotax used to sell the parts separately, but installation damage to the mechanical seal was common. Now the Rotax part comes as a shaft in mechanical seal assy. This part I pressed in easily using a drill press...

Found these listed on Amazon at $89 and at Allied Powersports for $80.(for 2) No Reviews and no App pictures. Wondering if anybody has tried these units ? They are internally mounted on the rim like a tradional TPMS, yet claim Bluetooth monitoring via the downloadeable App. These retain the...

While I agree with the 'Note' about the switches & Brake Light relay, perhaps it should be noted the relay is shown without ignition power applied. Interesting about this circuit, the ABS ECU can tell which brake Lever/Pedal is applied because of the voltage presented on the brown/black wire...

Has any ES owner ever reported decel wobble ? If not, then that is a major win in my opinion.

Hmmm, never been able to get my 5fm paired to my friends 20S.Was an upgraded 5fm software required to accomplish this pairing?

The Firstgear dual wireless controller works great for our two Gerbings jacket liners. I have the power module under the seat. Have the remote velcro'd to the clutch master. Rarely run my Gerbings gloves, but have combined them with my liner on a single control. They ran cooler than I might...

I've seen dozens of Hi-brightness LED's failed, in traffic lights. Furthermore, solder joints failing from thermal cycling or whatever has the same result to the end user. Time will tell if the FJR LED headlight design is durable.

The search function worked. The symptom was a soft pedal in the first part of the stroke, yet not so bad as the OP. The fix was bleeding of the front circuit. That diagram in post #36 is key to it making sense. Bravo forum. More data to contribute... The pedal was firm for 2 years, then...

Skyline is infested with roadside deer, and agressively patrolled by Feds.

****, it's true. GA60 in Fannin County, south of Morganton has 'chip-seal' paving in progress. Smoother than the nearby NC chip-seal, the small finished section I rode looks good. The worker claimed grip will be good once it is 'run in'.

Perhaps sponginess can arise from mosture absorbed into the master cylinder resevoir. Yeah, the fluid is under the bellows gasket, but 'years' is a long time to keep water-loving brake fluid moisture free.

Pulled the battery out of my smh5-fm. Easy, as the housing has 3 torx screws and the battery wire has a connector. It is a 3.7V with 400mAH capacity. Part # LP432543. Tons of similar on Amazon, but not a part# match or exact size match. No interest in tethered riding. Likely try to find a...

We have loved our Sena SMH5-FM communicators since 2013. Initially we would leave our coms open all day, as batt life was great. Then, we had to start cycling the coms for the batt to last the day. Now, my Sena lasts 30 minutes on a full charge. Visited the Sena forum site and found similar...

What, he said "tinker" and "all analog"... ;-)Shoot, the sensor is even from Analog Devices. Ten dollars in parts, plus whatever alarm buzzer he wants. He can park it on a hill or on his centerstand, and it still works. I had mercury switch alarm in my car in the 80's. Either no sensitivity...

ADXL327 A 3 axis, analog output, 2 g range, accelerometer. Scale and sum the outputs, plus a low pass filter. Monitor and alarm on a fast change of the unfiltered sum compared to a 'windowed range' of the filtered sum. It's single supply and very low power.
