think this is yours http://www.givi.co.uk/per_la_tua_moto.asp?...769&lang=en

XJR's, did 5 euro trips on 2 different ones, loaded or not handled really well even on alpine roads .would sit on the motorway all day at a ton , but just as happy touring around at 40.

hope i have read this right . Give do 2 racks for the top box to fit on , but the box should fit straight onto both. http://www.givi.co.uk/caschi_borse_bauli_a....asp?CO_ID=1403 when i changed from a XJR to an FJR i could not use the wing rack system had to go for the Tubular set up. it has a different topbox holder. i take it its a new fitting kit for thr model you have used {just have to ask}.and its a new box holder. if it is contact Givi and ask, the part would be cheaper new luggage

welcome in

welcome spiderman, enjoy your stay

yeah im on it, only look at it a couple of times a week............................. Jimmy no mates here

have a FJR, and use a Caberg helmet, do not suffer from wind noise. although the Caberg's are known to give more wind noise. i am also getting the after market screen fitted next month. remember each model of bike will divert the wind slighly different than another. i think it could be a helmet problem, try some of your friends helmets {as many types as possable} as i had this problem when i fitted a fairing to my 900 honda,never had it with other bikes with my helmet ,and i tried earplugs. but it was the helmet in the end. the only problem i have with the screen is when its right up it pushes my head down , this is why im going for the 2" higher screen.

ok if it feels like the front wheel is weaving , a number of things could be. front wheel bearings front wheel buckled head stock bearings front tyre, it could be the balancing of it, are the weights still on the rim, or it could be the tyre its self. is the bike new , or second hand , has it been in a crash, cause it could be a bent frame if its been crashed are you sure its the front end thats moving {i know that sounds daft but} rear end moving could give you the feeling that its the front end moving . are the tyres well worn?

you dont have to be into the "biker rally" scene for this to affect you. if you go to meets of any type, IT DOES affect you some of you may know , some may not, but the Rock & Blues , and now the Welsh Motorcycle Show has been cancelled. the Welsh , due to Police objections, that were not raised with the authorities (Licensing or otherwise) but directly with the committee of the Royal Welsh Agricultural Society. now the Welsh is a show, not a rally, and more a family type event . there are also plans in the pipe line to try and get the licences for other smaller motorcycle events revoked. god knows where this will stop. after seeing the violence in Manchester last night, are they going to stop all football matches , i think not. no pick on the minority biker/motorcyclist. this is a copy of a post by a friend of mine that sums it up better than i could { i know its a bit long but if you enjoy motorcycling please bear with it.} An open letter to all who care about riding their bike The recent cancellation of the Welsh National Motorcycle Show by the committee of the Royal Welsh Agricultural Showground due to representations made by Dyfed Powys Police has not only saddened me, but has made me angry. Angry that my very way of life is facing it’s most dangerous threat ever, a threat that could end biking in this country for good. I cannot stand idly by and let this happen. Dyfed Powys Police made representations to the committee regarding the ‘potential’ threat of violence at the show and that they could not guarantee public safety courtesy of the ongoing feud between certain Motorcycle Clubs. The organisers of the Welsh National Motorcycle Show were not invited to this meeting to refute Police Claims. They found out after the decision had been made with no chance to appeal the decision. Both Dyfed Powys Police and the Royal Welsh Agricultural Showground committee know that the Welsh National Motorcycle Show is one of the most peaceful, well attended events in Wales. Many Bikers take their children to the event knowing their children will be in a safe environment. This is due to the reputation that the organisers of the show have worked extremely hard to maintain over the last 18 years, yet Dyfed Powys Police totally disregarded this in favour of indulging in what has now been seen in many quarters as a concerted Police campaign to close down every single bike related event in the UK. THIS MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO HAPPEN! This is a violation of our civil liberties and our way of life faces its darkest hour. If we lose this fight, we lose everything. Our events, our meeting places, our clubs that we have enjoyed being members of since Biking began. Whether you a dyed in the wool Rally Biker like myself, or you just enjoy riding your bike on sunny Sundays to one of the many peaceful meeting places around the land. This affects YOU! It affects every last one of us and if we do not make a stand now, then we are lost, consigned to history as a group who did nothing when we were trampled underfoot. I call upon M.A.G, the B.M.F, the N.A.B.D and every single bike club in the land to unite and stop this madness, to stand up as one and defend our way of life. Write to your MP, write to the Home Office, write to anyone you think will listen and make the Powers That Be aware that we will stand tall and fight. We have succeeded before when threatened with stupid safety measures that were designed to maim and kill, we can succeed again. But we need to start NOW. you can leave it to someone else, have a "i cant make a difference" attitude, but when there is no where to go apart from a ride out on a sunday, then what will you think. 10 minutes to right a short letter to your MP is not a lot to ask to try and ensure that there will still be motorcycle events in this country for us and future motorcyclist to enjoy . thanks for your time if you read all that Rob

awe right mate

hi , Mark and welcome

any chance {although you might have tried} you have the wires on the wrong coils. just an easy idea. i know that some time we miss the easiest things and start getting into the technical stuff , but have missed a simple thing. also not plugging another forum{ sorry Mr Admin } but there is an XJR owners forum and most of them were from the UK, although i have not looked at it for a long time. yeah, let me know which pub it is, as a good Scotsman i might be able to blag a free drink from him

hi mate , welcome. sounds like you have a wiring or ignition problem, cant see both coils going at once, more likely to be in the ignition system else where. best advice i think would be see an auto electrician.................unless we have one on here {dont know if we have as im new also} just a thought, have to got the wires {think there are 2 to each coil} on the right way round. had 2 XJR's great bikes took them all round europe, never missed a beat once, apart from burning new oil off quickly with the heat.

cant help for the area Taz. but i have had decals made up in the past when rebuilding bikes, and any good sign maker should be able to do the job. they will want the seat before you take them off to get the lines and angles. i would compare their prices with a price from your Yam dealer first . i found it a good idea to get them to fit them as im crap at getting decals in line . so the extra hours labour could be worth it

what Geoff , said. i have been using Givi topbox and side box's for touring for 7 years now, really rate them. all that you have to do is but a new fitting kit for the rack, for model of bike when you change, normally around £50 to £70
