What did you do to your FJR today?

[majicmaker]

Replaced all 4 tiny screws on both Saddle Bag Locks. It should last another 5 years, 7 Months and 19 days!

Finally got mine on the road yesterday. The process started in November but I been traveling (mostly business) a lot since then and been gone for the last 5 weeks straight. So, for winter maintenance I:

1. Valve clearance check/reshim- (reshimmed 5 intake valves)

- installed blank air induction plates and gut useless garbage from under tank

- replaced spark plugs

- replaced coolant (actually twice )

- replaced coolant pipe o-rings

2. Replaced air filter

3. Ground spider check and goop

4. Throttle Body Synch

- replaced blank caps

5. Replaced brake & clutch fluids (speedbleeders!!)

6. Suspension pivots/links cleaned and lubed

7. Replaced engine oil & filter

8. Replaced final drive oil & clean/lube drive shaft universals & splines

9. Helmet locks installed

Had to replace the valve cover seal too b/c I folded a corner upon installation, hence the 2nd coolant replacement. So yesterday I cleaned and waxed all the plastics prior to installing and finally rode the damn thing.

Got the cover off of it on Saturday and did the spring service. Went for a bit of a ride yesterday and it's 27 degrees this morning but I'm going to ride it to Bend anyway. Hope Mr. Gerbings works or the blood test I need this AM won't work cause it will be frozen.

 

[Jim Morrison]

[MNFJR Pilot]

New Clearwater lights installed, holy crap they are bright!

 

[rbentnail]

Yesterday I did the Trooper mod and installed tailcones. Deeper sound, not too loud. Definitely glad I did it.

 

[rbentnail]

Today I replaced the frame sliders. The old ones were so sun-faded I couldn't stand it anymore. I went with T-Rex Racing ones this time.

Anyone want the old ones? I'm gonna slap them in the lathe today and see if they clean up at all, worked fair last year.

Just out of curiosity, what brand were the old ones?

Beats me, my CMS is getting worse but it's been a long time too. Never been "used", just always been there soaking up the sun.

Anyone want them? The price is right!

I haven't done anything to my FJR today, but yesterday I did a few things. I picked it up from having the break-in service done. On the way home, I had my first close call in years. A car pulled out from a side street and came very close to side swiping me. It was a good reminder that I'm invisible on the bike even when there is nothing blocking a cager's view. I usually expect any car around me to do the unexpected and have an escape plan ready. Luckily my lapse was without consequence.

When I got home, I installed a Migsel GPS mount that I purchased from the forum member known as Pinscher. Thanks Pincher!

 

[dcarver]

I hauled *** on my way to work. :yahoo:

 

[FJRay]

After almost ten years of ownership I was bored so I did some heat Mods. Never had a problem but thought I would see if it made any change.

 

[roger dodger]

Hey Ray, Just curious which 'heat mods' you did, and was it worth it?

Also, In Oregon and Minnesota, when will we actually NEED to reduce heat?
