Re: What did you do to your FJR today?
I never took the time to put heated grips on this '09. It had the v-strom hand guards on it when I got it and I had let that be good enough.

Re: What did you do to your FJR today?
Aha, I've been poking at the search function because my stock AE heated grips aren't so warm anymore. Looks like I have some interesting work ahead of me. That said, Texas summer is coming so likely I'll forget about it till I need it again.extrememarine wrote: ↑Sun Mar 05, 2023 11:11 pm I never took the time to put heated grips on this '09.

I'd have put it back together without doing anything, he rides so slow he wouldn't notice the timing a tooth off........

Rode it.
There is no substitute for some two-wheel therapy - brisk (temperature wise) 150-ish mile loop this afternoon. It runs, rides, handles as expected - meaning I didn't F anything up...

Crap! You would almost think you were buying BMW parts.CollingsBob wrote: ↑Thu Mar 09, 2023 9:58 pm I ordered a new neutral switch assembly along with 2 of the allen screws that hold it..$175.43 cdn….
I had to replace the neutral switch on my 2007. Seems to me it was maybe $50 at the time. Don't know what the GenIII+ version is like, but the '07 was a wire with a multi pin connector on one end and a block with 5 copper contact "pads" on the other - one for neutral plus one for each gear. (There was a discontinuity inside the block for the neutral wire which couldn't be easily soldered because the wires were potted in epoxy or something)

Re: What did you do to your FJR today?
Typical gouging with Canajan prices for OEM parts. The 6 speed one is pricey, but so is the 5 speed switch. Save the old one!! Might be able to clean up the contacts and the plunger..... have to replace the one on my former root beer FJR, I've cleaned it a few times..... but I have a gently used one with 2k miles on it from the '14 engine I put in the '06 project bike. Partzilla price ~U$55 or so.
