What did you do to your FJR today?

[wheatonFJR]

Oil change on Monday, new front sneaker today, new CT at the rear in April, so it’s barely broken in. Might throw some water and suds on it before leaving for C&D on Thursday. Or maybe not.

What is C&D?

Your grades in high school, Jim.

So CraigRegs is coming to Spokane to see my High School report card? This is news.

If so perhaps we can go for a ride. Maybe here?



What did I do to my FJR today. I walked by it a few times.

[gixxerjasen]

Geez, even I figured that one out. No idea how though.

[fontanaman]

This is for sale where I bought my Triumph Tiger 900. Might be worth a test ride. It looks pretty in person. Years ago met a fellow riding one of these. He loved it.

On my 2023 FJR I changed the oil. Mounted a new front Pilot Road 4 GT. Bled the rear brake circuit as the rear brake pedal was just starting to get soft.

CFR 2025 here I come!

Oh, and also added the most important farkle I add to any of my FJRs!

Well, I see that the rear flap contains the brains of the outfit!

Safe travels!

A leisurely 200 mile ride to the southwest of me. See, over the years my travels just in NC have taken me all over. Well, nearly all over. One thing I've been tracking is which of the 100 NC counties I've been to on my bikes. Yesterday was 2 of the remaining 4. Very rural, lots of corn fields in Union and Anson counties.

Another leisurely weekend ride, about 335 miles going Down East. That's southeast for you directionally handicapped . Ticked off the last 2 of all 100 NC counties. Was looking at 96-98 degF down there. Whew! Took extra time for extra stops and extra fluids.

[Hppants]

Loaded it .... on the trailer. Gave it some company as well (Bush Piggie).

Getting close to go time. Excited beyond my best words.....

[El Toro Joe]

Rode it to work today, since it wasn't "Ride To Work Day"...probably ride it to work tomorrow as well.

[SkooterG]

Yesterday I packed it all up for CFR! Late in afternoon I rode my German princess to meet a friend for an early dinner. The peak reading on the ambient temperature readout was 113 freaking degrees! Needless to say, I'll be glad to get the Hell out of Hell for a while!

It has been in the mid 90's in Spokane that last couple of day. It is cooling down just in time for your arrival.

I road my FJR today for the first time since buying the Triumph on May 21st.

I found roads with the best asphalt in the area.

Nice day today with temps in the upper 70's and some puffy clouds.



Onward.





Back in farm land.



Almost the same as the prior photo but not quite.



From the odd side.



It seems the Canola here isn't a thick for vibrant as in prior years.



And what is the problem?



The other traffic sign I like is be prepared to stop. We are riding motorcycles, we are always prepared to stop.

I was in Palouse Washington today where the Palouse River run adjacent to the town. The flow is that of a creek. I ate lunch at the Palouse Caboose where this art hung on the wall. Teasing Pants here.

Nice stuff Jim!

Part of my tech spec bag protection is coming off. It is the leading edge on the front and the wind above 45 is pulling it up more.

What is the best fix?

Thanks

I'd clean the bag surface with rubbing alcohol on a que tip, put down a little masking tape along the edge of the tech spec to protect the bag lid, then use ShoeGoo to glue down the recalcitrant piece, trim any squeeze out carefully with a razor knife so you don't get into the paint beneath the tape.

I have been using AI to get answers rather than browsing web pages because I get answers quickly. Sure I have to validate it but it is easier than surfing web pages. Plus it returns the sources. I asked Perplexity AI, "TechSpec’ motorcycle protection is loose. What is the fix?"

Here is the response.

I am trying to evolve with the times.

RTV makes sense to me....... ShoeGoo ain't far off, I think it's a silicone adhesive.

I've never had a TechSpec pad come loose, but, the ones on the FJR bags are really in direct air flow. Most I have used are not. Silicone sealer will work well, as long as you tape the pad down while it cures. I'd give it over night as opposed to a couple of hours.

New Yuasa battery installed today.

Went to install the new ignition lock. That required more parts removal than I remembered to get to the connector. All new and slick and smooth and perfectly clicky.



Finally managed to break the pin off the fairing piece that goes between the tank and the seat. Will be on the hunt for one of those, I guess.

It's starting to get hot outside, that was enough garaging for today, the KTM 1190 will have to wait for another day for the fuel pump replacement.

I've broken one of those forward posts twice. Both times I just trimmed the mating edge a little then superglued it back in place THEN fill the whole thing with runny JB Weld. The raised edge section keeps the JB in place while it sets. I just set everything up in advance with a little tilt, etc.
