What waa the part number for the valve?
Hi Mike I have watching your videos and I have a question for you I’ve got a fjr 2008 every time I stop it doesn’t idle changed everything can you help please I’m lost
Excellent vedeo....netherlands
Dear Sir again very clean video professional....
Dear Sir a very professional video , chapeau..netherlands fjr 2016 ae 1300..
Great work, nice to see how it should be done. 👍
Many thanks for this excellent video, Mike. You struck the perfect balance of providing valuable supplementary info and still maintaining a good pace.
That is the best how-to video I've seen. Thanks.
I have the save vibration about 2500 rpm on my 2013 fjr. I'll give this a go when the weather warms up! Great video, thanks for the help. Do you have a video on warm start problems? Turns over fine, but you have to blip the throttle to start it.?
3rd motorcycle tire change this year, but my first time doing it on the 2014 fjr1300es. Your video is the best I've found and is greatly appreciated. Simple and clear instructions. Hope these tires go back on the rims without issue so I can get a test ride in today.
Mike how's it going
Great video, just recently discovered your channel since i just bought my first FJR. I hope to learn a lot from your videos , thanks :)
What year?
What brand are those pads on your tank?
great video! thanks
What filters can you use with this? And do you really need to pour oil into the filter before installing? Why?
Dude.. if we come to watch for the front breaks.. why do you think we know how to remove the rims?! If we can do that. Then we don’t need this video;) Just saying
Mike, how do you determine what setting to set the balancers at?
Here is the instructions from the manual: Tighten the balancer shaft to the specified torque 0.4nm (3.54 in lbs) by turning it counterclockwise, and then turn it one scale back on the balancer lever scale. Tighten the balancer shaft pinch bolt 10Nm (88 in lbs). Start the engine and check that there is no abnormal noise coming from the balancer gear. If noise is abnormal, adjust the gear lash by turning the balancer shaft. NOTE: With each adjustment, turn the balancer shaft one scale. Clockwise Decrease gear lash. Counterclockwise Increase gear lash. Hope this helps, thanks
Just what I was needing for my "new to me" FJR. Thanks!
Is it necessary to use the two different types of grease, or is that a personal preference?
Personal preference.
There is no need to use highly expensive oil such as shown in this video. Shell Rotella T6 5w40 is a full synthetic, low ash, that is compliant to M1 and M2 wet clutch requirements. Your important focus with wet clutch motorcycle engine oil are two things ... 1- Match up the second number given in your lubricant specification (aka for 20W 40) make sure your lubricant matches the 40 part, and does not exceed the 20W (cold viscosity) requirement. Going below the cold viscosity requirement is not a problem and is actually more desirable, because the engine will crank over easier, ans start faster, when it's cold. ... 2- make sure the oil meets Motorcycle wet clutch standards (M1 M2)....that must be stated on the bottle (usually on the rear panel) ..... Sometimes it will state JASO M, M1, M2. JASO simply means Japanese Standards, just like ANSI means American standards. Do Not use Automotive Grade oils as they Are Not designed to be use with Wet Clutch applications ... That said, If you have a motorcycle with an automatic transmission, A Dry Clutch, or CVT transmission, your engine oil will be different
Hello, I ran both the rotella and the motul. The rotella, the engine made a lot of top end tapping. with Motul, the engine was quiet and smooth. I am aware of the specs with rotella. My experience was that the motul performed better.
Bullshit! I believe that crap and used that crap on my shadow. Ruined it. Good luck misinformed penny pitcher
What a ahit job… Jezus Light breaks down and your realy fked! Hard to swap those…
I agree if the ballasts does go bad, you have to do more work. My experience so far was about 2 years I had to only change the bulb. The gain of additional brightness I think is worth it. As far as heat. These bulbs have a shroud around them, protecting the plastic from any high heat. The heat around the base was similar to the factory bulb.
HID is bad.LED is good.痛むからね。反射鏡が。
Great instructional video, Mike! Tnx :-) I may use it on our FJR1300Norway pages - if it's OK for you. Best Regards
No problem.
Really well done! Greetings from Switzerland
Just found this vid in 2024. About 35 or so years ago that area was popular among guys riding ATV's. The buildings were more complete back then and the trees more sparse. You could see a good ways around the old track and there were still signs of its racing days with the occasional old wheel or tire, and a few areas where they buried tires half way to form a barrier. There was more dumping going on then though, it looks like someone cleaned it up a bit since the 80's. I remember piles of old appliances and car tires dumped out there. At that point some of the wood structure was still intact but was burnt, likely by forest fires in that area over the years. The whole one end of the tract was still showing burned trees about 15ft or so tall still standing in the woods. A buddy who knew the area and grew up there in the 50's said that the area had a huge forest fire in the early 60's that wiped out a good bit of what remained and the subsequent growth after the fire, which I believe may have burned again, is a lot of what your seeing today. Most of those larger trees don't look super old, maybe 50 years or so tops. There were few large trees when I was there back then. There were also signs of vagrants living in those old buildings, with makeshift tarps over sections and old whisky bottles strewn around too. The nearby areas at the time were also not the best and most didn't go there alone as it had a reputation in later years as a place for drug deals and such. It looks like much of that may have been solved but I see the dumping hasn't stopped. I'm too old to go exploring these day so its nice to see what became of the places we knew years ago.
Great video, exactly how I perform the oil/filter change on my 04' FJR!
What was the size led for neutral light on a gen 1 is it the 3 or the 5 ?
The 3 is the neutral light. The 5 is for the turn signals
Good instructions. One thing I may add is too keep the bearings in the freezer over night. they will press in a little easier. I keep a small refrigerator in my shop just for this among other things
Thanks for sharing, good idea!.
Hi Mike, hope all is well for you & yours in 2024. I'm back because...after my 'perfect' rebuild I find oil on the garage floor after the winter break coming from the left fork. Went for a short (60 mile) ride and the next morning quite a bit more of oil on the floor. Any suggestions? Or do I have to do this all over again?! Update: watched some videos on using the seal mate tool (DIY) and gonna try that first. I'll get back to you here about my success/failure ratio... Addendum: well, that was kinda good for nothing...had to take the weight off the front end (floor jack to center stand) to expose that critical inch of fork (😛) to get the dust cap off but no matter where or how I could not get the Seal Mate to work! Managed to get it stuck in there but no way it was going to rotate around the fork 'a few times'. Joke's on me I supposed. Wiped everything down and cleaned it up, maybe my magic fingers succeeded where my pea-brain could not 🙃 Cheerios Mike! Addendum: took the leaker apart this morning and removed the guts (I really should've replaced the seals and bushings but they're almost new so I didn't). Not much oil left inside...lo and behold I found a mangled piece of plastic wrap in the works (that seal mate would not have been able to remove that). Your suggestion to use that as a softener to protect the seal when sliding it on over the inner tube. Didn't work well for me! Thanks again for EVERYTHING you've done for the FJR community - you are the go-to guy!
I just bought a 2014 ES and this is the 1st video I watched. Thank you so much for the concise and simple version with no BS.I change my own tires and this video is excellently done and made my life that much easier by watching this. Thanks 1000 times.
What a great informative video, I'm replacing my rear tire this week and my rear brakes are just about shot. I found this video and this is excellent. Thank you for sharing
ποση ροπη χρειαζονται οι βιδες στα φρενα;
What sync tool are you using .
Sorry, it was made by someone producing it on demand. As far as I know, It's not available any more. Check this video description. There are links to the person that made the device. Maybe he can make them again. Personally, healtech makes a similar product that's probably better and has support.. It's in the description.
Excellent video! Thanks for sharing. At what mileage did your front bearing fail?
They had close to 100k on them so I just changed them. I had them when I bought the bike.
Good video, Ive had these fitted to in the past to ZZR1400, they work very well and best upgrade to existing forks, any reason you didnt upgrade springs to Linear 10's as the FJR renowned for being "Soft" front and rear; and standard springs are progressive and tto soft? Im in UK and live close to K Tech and will be gettig this done by them to my FJR with uprated Springs, then upgrade rear shock to improve ride and match my new front end.
No real reason other than I did not have the money at the time to do both. After the upgrade, the frontend handled much better. I'm sure the springs would make it even better. I'm not getting a lot of sag and I have not moved them from the stock k-tech settings.
Thank you for showing me this wouldn’t be a massive hassle! Some bikes you have to remove the radiator to replace them. When I was ur video was 7 mins I was given hope! Then I watched it and it was confirmed an easy quick job! Now I can rest easy tonight! Thanks again!
my manual for a 03 fjr 1300 says oil level should be 100mm freom top of tube, fully compressed, and without spring.
I have a question for you. I removed my wheel and the seal around the rim spline is loose. Is that normal? Thanks. For reference the spline/ seal at 2:56
sounds like it might be worn. Couldn't hurt to be replaced.
Go to pennsville New Jersey 😂😂
It was a very nice and useful video. Thank you. Nice job mike 👍🏻🙋🏻♂️
You didn't show them on???
Hello, I showed the OEM bulbs at 11:18 and the upgraded hid headlights at 17:44.
How are you Mike? No new videos?
I'm ok, without saying too much personal info, changes are in my familys future, the next video may be from a garage of an RV.
Just sent just sent the video
Maybe use a solid state relays to switch 12v to each pair of coils? That way you're not going to damage the driver circuit
Hello, good idea. Not sure if that would affect dwell timing. I think there are some devices made for this purpose in custom automotive applications. Don't know much about them.
Yeah I know my old Honda cars with a distributor, switch the coil primary using an ICM which is switched by the ECU. I'm sure it looks a lot like a SSR that I've seen in industrial applications.
Ur not showing where to adjust
There is a section in the video showing a picture with circles around the adjustments. Unfortunately I don't have the luxury of a camera man. With both hands busy, my hands blocked the adjusting. Did not notice until later. That's why the picture.
