Cliff, The provided instructions tell you what color wire to connect to each function, e.g. blue wire from ST2 connects to signal wire from bike for left signal, and green wire from ST2 goes to the lead to the left side signal lights. But it doesn't say anything about what color those wires...

Here's the pic. I've had the device since last Wednesday. It showed up right before my son, daughter-in-law, and 14 month old granddaughter came to visit for Thanksgiving. So, it sat till they returned to NJ. The device is a small cube, about 2x3x5 cm on a side. It has a 55 cm wiring harness...

First, assuming that you got lucky and only one or two parts need to be replaced, PLEASE get some help and do all of the maintenance checks that Gary suggests before you put this bike back on the road. (Rant over, I feel better now :) ) Next, be happy that you have an FZ6R, at least for this...

Yep. I was really unimpressed with their sales pitch on the web page. All fancy animated stuff with zero facts. If I didn't trust my FJR friend who already did the installation, I would not have bought this, two of these. I suspect the people that make the device are hoping to sell them as...

Tom - checking in with Joe at MotorcycleConnectors. His site lists a 12-pin version. I'm hoping he'll find the 13-pin match. But the FJR only uses 11 of those 13 spots, so I could buy two sets of the 12-pin version and make a nice harness to insert. Cliff - Yes, I had a 1977 RD400 that had...

https://safer-turn.com/smart-turn-system/ Has anybody on the forum installed this self-cancelling indicator system? The appeal is that this device will turn off the indicators after you make a turn or lane change, or 15-20 seconds if you don’t turn. So no more constant blinking if you...

No opinions from THIS crowd. Really? OK, you're all hibernating. But this is the time of year to TALK about bikes if you aren't riding them. So, what do you think about having water cooled bikes on an MSF range? Messy? What about a KTM 390 Duke? If there's only one on a range, I think...

I have a question for MSF coaches. (You OH guys are all former MSF now, right Blah) What newer program bikes do you see on your ranges? At PKB in West Virginia we have mostly Honda Nighthawks with a few Rebels, two CRF230's, Suzuki GV's and a single Yamaha Star 250. Good bikes but they're...

Hello Kristis, The electrical wizards will soon reply, but in the meantime, I'll make some suggestions. The behavior of the lights getting dimmer on idle and brighter as you increase rpms is an indicator for a battery problem. The battery voltage is low and the bike isn't producing sufficient...

I lost one of those a year after I got the bike. Was probably when I had the tank up to replace the spark plugs. Anyway, I ordered one at the dealer. When they came in (expensive) they were a set of black hex socket head bolts with black washers. I went to Lowes and got a pair of stainless bolts...

So, you want more photons out front? Please consider these LED's. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074GZ3S4P/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 That page is for the H4's but they also have H7's. This upgrade is super simple and is very very effective. I did it last...

Scott, Yep. The MSF preaches this as the correct way to stop the bike. I DO NOT use the engine cut off switch ever, so I don't always do this right while teaching. They teach it that way to make it part of muscle memory to reach for the cut off switch anytime you need to stop the engine...

I’m not an authority on this but I’m pretty sure that the show and demo rides are open to the public on only Saturday and Sunday. Thursday and Friday, the show is open for industry members only. As a newly minted MSF Rider Coach I plan to revel with the short lines! AWESOME! trepetti...

Crickets? Screw the crickets - we were out riding! Blah Plus 1 for Cliff's suggestion on the bracket from Amazon. I bought that one several years ago but then found one that would re-use the stock signals with their egg-shaped oval mounts. I wanted something bigger than the tiny LED's...

Three new-found friends and I completed the coaches training workshops this past weekend. It was hot. It was grueling. The coach trainers were..... Well, criticism is a good thing, right? That's me on the left. So, now to begin my career as an apprentice coach. That starts next...

Shoei RF-1200 with a Transitions faceshield. Love it!

Welcome to the Blue Crew! :thumbup: Go ahead and admit it. Blue is the BEST color. That Cobalt blue is stunning in the sunshine and impressively subtle in the shade. I've bought two bikes since I got my FZ6 when I got back into riding, an FJR for two-up and long trips, and a 450WR...

WELCOME new members! Klimber - I can relate to your dilemma. I returned to riding when I bought my 08 FZ6 in 2013. Since then I've added an FJR, for longer rides and more knee comfort for the wife, and recently a WR450 plated for the street for - well, you know. The FJR is an awesome ride...

Ahhhh, that happy feeling when you get new tires. It always makes me wonder why I kept those old ones on till the threads were showing. Oh, that's right, it's cause I'm a miserly bugger.
