![]() Partway through the 2007 model year, they came up with an improved version after seeing some failures which essentially destroyed engines. If the cam chain tensioner is original, you should look at replacing it. Make sure the grounding connector and the ignition switch recalls were done. There were some band-aid fixes for this (Power Commander and a throttle tube with a different cam profile) but recently "Ivan" has come up with an ECU reflash for Gen II FJRs that deals with this and more. There is also some issues with fueling at low throttle openings. There was a recall to replace the ECU - issue with drivability under certain circumstances when changing altitude. There was a recall for the ignition switch. Some others not covered by recall but you can get help here if you run into issues. There was a recall that addressed the worst of these - the so-called S4. (Still runs fine)īiggest issue is electrical grounds - multi-wire connectors called "spiders" might be problematic (but fixable). I sold my 2007 a couple years ago with 185,000 miles on the clock.

I think the bike looks cool (though runs pretty darned hot), and ran well on the way home. It seems you have to remove the rear tire to change the front? Anyway, I am looking for some encouragement from experience here, and hoping I did not invest poorly. Looking for help here, and will check into any videos available. Has a lowering kit on it, which I adjusted up (couldn't get the bike on the center stand) but other than that, I would just like to go through and change the fluids. Needs a new front tire, the gas gauge is flashing 8 times in cycle(even after fueling) and the former owner said this is a new event, but the bike has sat for a year+. Was hoping for less heat from the engine. Riding this FJR for a couple hours back from the original owners, I found it to be very smooth (and as hot temperature wise as the ST) with plenty of power. I just finished all scheduled maintenance on my 2013 Honda ST1300PA, finding it pretty user friendly to work on, selling it with complete confidence it's new owner would enjoy many miles. The previous owner said he didn't experience even a blown fuse in his years of touring with this bike. A friend shared a number of problems I should be ready to experience, including references to electrical 'spiders' and an assortment of catastrophic gremlins. While I don't have the documents, he has shared with me the wheres and whens of services performed, at the dealership here in FL where he purchased the bike. Looks great, and it appears to have been maintained. ![]()
