What did you do to your FJR today?

[SkooterG]

Put on my 3rd PR2...the one that came off lasted 14,000 miles!

Front I assume? Only 14k? Jenny Craig my rotund friend. Jenny Craig.

:finger:

 

[clocklaw]

I continue to be amazed at the mileage some get out of the tires.....14,000 really? It would take at least 4 tires for me to get to 14,000 mi!

 

[Abercrombie FJR]

Gotta make a seal-mate!

Is that some kind of sick joke?

You could try flowers and some bait fish. MIght go easier.

 

[RedPorscheKilla]

Gave her a good bath (everybody says she was a dirty girl!) and a complete wax job - not just a bikini wax. Rode her around town for some errands and bought her an oil filter. Was going to take her for a longer ride, but the freeway was backed up due a wreck. Come on, tomorrow!

The weather has turned warm and its mesh gear time

 

[odot]

Rode her to work this morning....was 36 degrees. Sat on her an had a couple of smokes before going to clock in.

 

[Bustanut joker]

WHEW!!!! Thanks for posting up Odie! Three agonizing days wondering if you'd had a smoke.

Granted I've been gone for two, the worry was always in the back of me mind.

Ride on brother.. Ride on!

 

[odot]

Thanks, guy.....I just had a couple more smokes over lunch time sitting on ol' jackie-O.

 

[airboss]

Sat on it .

Made m/c noises.

 

[El Toro Joe]

Rode it ta work...it was 23 degrees out & snowing when I left

 

[Bustanut joker]

One of these days you're going to have to leave it Joe.. Living in that snow belt.

You know how it can turn to **** in half an hour

 

[El Toro Joe]

Yeah...but it's 31 & sunny now. WooHoo!!!

 

[airboss]

It's not so much the snow belt than keeps the bike stored away, it's the RUST belt ( salted roads).

 

[El Toro Joe]

Oh...it's a salty mess at this point...maybe I'll wash it tomorrow...maybe not...Rats Rule!!!

 

[Bungie]

Only ladies ask for directions. Real men NEVER admit to not knowing where they're going.

Vladimir Putin fears me.

 

[Bustanut joker]

With good reason.. Hey it has to be warmer there today. You riding?

 

[Jack D]

New PR3 on the rear, cleaned and lubed driveshaft splines and installed VStream windshield, then of course went for a ride.

 

[yamafitter]

Got a call from GP Suspensions and talked about spring rates for the front forks. We also discussed recommended settings for my Wilbers shock. I sent them my Wilbers shock as part of the group buy and my re-built shock and new fork springs should be shipped back to me next week. I'm very interested to see what they will recommend as far as compression and rebound settings on the shock.

 

[Eric L]

Lets see -
tires

brakes

rebuild front calipers

lube everything

replace throttle cable and brake lines

rebuild fork - seals, bushings, etc

valves, plugs, coolant

rear pivot and steering bearings.

arghhhh. But this is the first real service other than fluids and tires since new - now at 36K

Ok, you got me. So why............

- rebuild the front calipers?

- replace throttle cable and brake lines?

Shop says front caliper frozen and they need some rebuild. Its what I get for riding in the winter with wet Mg salt on the roads I guess. Or they are lying to me. Either way.

 

[edgeburner]

I picked up my bike from first service, and the dealer put the new license plate on upside down lol.... So I fixed that. I later dialed in the suspension, adjusted the lights, and wiped the windshield down with Plexus. I also installed the heat troller for my heated jacket liner and made the mistake of taking the rubber plug out of the bottom of the storage compartment. It took 5 minutes for me to reseat it into the hole. Oh yea, I fired up the air compressor and knocked off minor dust from the swing arm and suspension linkage. I then spent about an hour with a flashlight looking into all the nooks and cranies. It was a good day.
