No friend, its not the nature of FJR to vibrate like that. I have an 2003 and it doesnt do that. From what you have said, I would consider checking all the...
Mez6 roadteck here. Very quick and twice the tire mez4 is. I did get 10,000 moles from the mez4 though. Tires were cupped pretty bad but I hope mez6 corrects...

Try to syncronize the trottles. If they are not syncronized then the engine will not run smotthy because each cylinder will have a different amounts of air/gas...
Another thing that has not been mentioned is location (location, location, location..) The same company will charge different rates in different parts of a...
As for me, I am getting PL/PD ONLY! I remember the days when there was no compulsory insurance and rode for 18 years with no mishaps. Risky? Sure! but I am...

Used the TireQwick to change over my rear tire and put new Avon Azaro on. Went pretty well and the balancing was a cinch. Started on the front but noticed a...
If I recall correctly, the reflectors are held on with a 10mm nut (almost as hard to get to) and once they are off, you can use a socket on the 12mm bolts. ......
I cannot get a socket on them unless I break off the ... There is a little nut behind the refelctor - 8mm. Undo that nut to get the reflector off. Then, I...
