Highway pegs? Where did you place those? Beautiful bike btw

*update* So last night I followed your RDCUA TBS procedure (awesome write up by the way) and found the air bypass screws were set at 1 3/4 turns. After synchronizing I ended up putting them 2 full turns out equally after setting them to zero. I will say that the bike seems to run smoother but I...

I was thinking this may be my next route. The fast idle mechanism is something I never considered though. Thanks for the detailed reply, hopefully I can tackle this issue this Friday.

I purchased a 06 back in February and have since put around 800 miles on it. The problem I have been having is the bike not wanting to idle until the temperature reaches the mid point on the gauge. When you first start it, it will idle fine until it starts to warm a little. After that I have to...

Leave it alone...haha. This is the first bike I have bought where I haven't had it in pieces on its first day home combing through everything. I will do my best to leave it alone but no promises. Thanks for the lead, it really is a great bike. And yes the bike is on a battery tender. I don't...

I would do that in a heart beat if it wasn't 15F degrees outside and loads of salt on the ground. Soon as its above freezing and the roads look cleanish I'll be on it. I can see how this would make sense. Thanks, I can stop sweating now. Downloading the manual now. Thanks for the help.

Hello, after some searching I found my bike and just brought it home. When I unloaded it and put into my garage I started the bike to get things flowing around. I put the bike up on the center stand and put the bike in first ( I know this isn't the safest thing to do but I wanted to see the bike...

Having rebuilt some old bikes I have gotten cheap, I've learned sometimes it's best to spend the extra money if you can for the better bike. The cost of parts, time, and sometimes stress adds up quick. That $1500 is often gone when you buy all new tires, bearings, lube, brakes, and whatever else...

I will take all the help I can get. I have seen better offers on this forum than anything I was able to come up with on craigslist and a few local dealers. Also if someone wants to do what Fontanaman mentioned I have will have no objections. I will just question you sanity.

Hey Joe, I will probably be there around 1 or 2 Friday. Thanks for the prospect. If you would like to meet up that would be great. I can PM my phone number to you if you're wanting to help me score a deal.

Holy moly I just returned from work to see all this input! Thank you all for your opinions. It is greatly appreciated. I have currently marked off all the past listed choices I mentioned (08 was sold a day ago 04 had a tick and owner couldn't answer my questions so that threw a red flag). I'm...

Sorry I don't know how to quote on a phone but thank you sir for the 06 sighting. If you all know more don't hesitate.

Are ABS really that good compared to non? I never had ABS on any of my past sport bikes. With the extra weight with these bikes I can see how it would prevent laying a bike down. Also being 6'4" are you comfortable enough with the stock seat height?

Yes my price point is $6000 and under that may help. I love the Gen lll but not in my budget. So far I'm looking at a 08 with 38k for $5800, 04 with 30k for $5k, and 05 with 8k for $6k

I'm currently in the market for a FJR but I'm having trouble deciding which Gen should I shoot for. When doing some research, I have read about an infamous tick. Now from what I have gathered these are isolated pretty well and are troubling on the first Gen(Correct me if I am wrong). Also the...
