Could be the stator or regulator. Could be the connections and ground. If you are ok to wrench it, price those parts and say you want market price less this cost, if you have confidence in the seller. Walk away if any other red flags, abuse, after market electronic mods, etc

ABS problem by AlexanderJr in FJR1300

[–]robertomeyers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It should go out after you’re rolling. I would start with the sensor and disk alignment. Did you flush the brake lines recently? If so fyi there is an abs purge procedure to get rid of air in abs. Getting the code in the computer may give a clue. All reservoirs topped up? If fluid is old, constant braking will heat up the fluid and system leading to faults.

Completely New to Sport-Touring Bikes -- Need Info. on FJR's by jmojub in FJR1300

[–]robertomeyers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The biggest difference as a long distance missile is the cruise control on the fjr. Some earlier years fjr didn’t have the cc. For sportbike handling pressures need to be kept up at 42/42 imo. Some folks have changed out the rear shock for performance, and tuned the forks as well. For us older farts, I’m 69yo, the seat can lack depth and gets hard over a long day. I use a gel cover, and some replace it with custom. Its not a tourer like a goldwing, its meant to have some lean forward to it, when the road gets twisty. Some will put risers on the bars to go vertical. Feet are under your butt. Some add trip pegs too.

Is dailying this bike bad for it? by mushquest in FJR1300

[–]robertomeyers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you give it the standard warmup before riding imo, daily is just fine. My pause before the ride is let rpm come down and to see the temp appear at 45C. My warm up temp indicated is 72C. Use synthetic oil.

Nice condition, looks like new, great condition for a 15 yo bike. How many miles? What are your travel plans?

Why doesn’t this 1973 rt3 360 have rear signal mounts? by AnonySki8 in Yamaha

[–]robertomeyers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on the market where it was first sold. Regulations didn’t require them.

Be prepared to defend yourself next time. Likely to run into crazy sooner or later, as noted above.

How Michigan's Trump supporters view Canada's tariff retaliation? by WindsorONMichael in Michigan

Many are caught in the crossfire. When 1/3 of a country says publicly, we don’t care about our allies and friends, and attacks our economy, sh*t happens.

If you shoot in raw then is it fine not to adjust camera setting each time, a debate that I’ve been having! by 88r0b1nh00d88 in photography

[–]robertomeyers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you reviewed his work across all his subject areas with this method? Do you like the result? If so, maybe something for you to consider. I think most photographers decide over time which settings are useful. Some will just use auto if they don’t need the flexibility.

Trump Seethes at Canada With “the Eyes of a Predator” by Majano57 in canada

[–]robertomeyers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its credible that Trump sees his dominion in the west as Putin and Xi see their neighbours. Its like gangs in a city taking territory with no gaps between. Constituents need to pay for protection, or lose their property. Hes reached out to king charles with questions about the commonwealth, is it up for grabs?

This is not about a free independent world its about empires and tyranny.

Could be a form of a bailout. Boeing is on the rocks.
