    Spongy Rear Brakes

    Looks like I'll be making another run at bleeding the brakes. I have a firm rule about doing maintenance in the garage when it's below 40 degrees! :) . It's actually in the mid-20s now, so it looks like that will have to wait until next weekend. Thanks for the recommendations/feedback, much...

    Spongy Rear Brakes

    Thanks for the quick response. Yes, when flushing the front, I started with the lower right nipple, then upper right then left. Finally, flushed the rear and then street tested with a couple of 15-20mph rear ABS engagements. All was good for a couple of weeks.

    ABS test help needed

    Interesting, I didn't see this before posting a similar question a few moments ago, though on a 2013 FJR. Chuck, I'd also be interested in any specific details/guidance that you'd be willing to share.

    Spongy Rear Brakes

    As a relatively new FJR, I'm still learning my new to me bike and finding this forum very helpful. Looking for some insight in solving what I'd call soft rear brakes. I bought a low mile '13 this past summer and noticed on the first ride home that the rear brakes felt softer than any bike I've...

    Question:Sena 30k Experiences

    Thanks, also unable to find any Google hits on "Element". I have an older Cortech magnetic bag that seen better days, map holder yellowing etc. I like the idea of a ring lock mount, to keep the bag off the paint but a number that I've seen just look a bit odd..kind of cantilevered off the rear...

    Question:Sena 30k Experiences

    Thanks for all the feedback. The "how will I be using it" really is the harder question. I do mostly solo riding but there's a large group that I ride with that has has a smorgasbord of comm systems: ranging from built in HD and Goldwing CB systems to a sprinkling of other Sena and Cardo to no...

    Question:Sena 30k Experiences

    I'm ready to take the plunge and purchase a helmet mounted comm system. My question is regarding any good or bad experiences with the 30K vs 20s. The tried and true 20s is still available(online) and based on a less than favorable YouTube vid from 2wheelobsession, I'm trying to decide which...

    Engine and Luggage Guards?

    Sorry to hear about your accident but very encouraging that your CC' s did such a great job of protecting you. In the end, that's actually the most important part!! A personal testament is always hugely impactful. Glad you're okay and thanks for sharing!!

    Engine and Luggage Guards?

    Sounds like two positive nods for T-Rex. I'm not familiar with the MC Ent guards but will certainly check them out. Thanks to both of you for sharing your perspective and lessons learned. Very helpful!!

    Engine and Luggage Guards?

    Hi all, I'm a total FJR newbie, have just picked up a 2013 and have a ton of questions. It is a heavy beast though rides like a dream. First order of business is to buy/install something to protect the bike, in event of a tip over. Canyon Cages seem to be very popular though I've noticed some...
