Thanks again Ross- I'm always amazed at your quick and thoughtful replies.......I believe I've made a decision. While your offer is tempting, its time I got off my lazy butt and went out to the shop and actually did some work! Long wet winter here has me very lethargic, and I need to shake that...

Hello folks Does anyone have a trailer hitch they wish to part with? My Fjr is a 2006 model. Or, are there recommendations on a vendor to use for a new one? I can build one too if I have to. Thanks, Tom in Oregon

I just sent you separate post regarding a part I’m looking for. Thanks, Tom

I thought I’d registered a month ago but not on this list so just re-registered. I owe you for the dinner , do you do Cashapp? Thanks, Tom garrett

I finally have some good news to report seemingly I have finally resolved this problem. I’ve been fighting it off and on for three weeks. In a 20 minute ride I can get the fault to occur probably five or six times. I just got back from nearly a one hour run and it didn’t happen one time! Here...

Thanks jp for everything so far. I’ve got the new windscreen installed, However unfortunately I have a bigger problem. I have the dreaded SH 46 fault code, it happens pretty often and I’m trying to figure out how to fix it. I really don’t wanna take it to my local Yamaha dealer. This bike also...

Thanks for that, yeah it’s an AE. I didn’t do any research on these bikes before I pulled the trigger on this one but hopefully I’ll be a happy camper with this bike, I sure was happy when I did my demo ride!

Hi Tom,,,,,what is a Rostra cc? I just bought a 2006 Fjr. Thanks, Tom in Oregon

Hi Peter. I’m a new (older 2006) Fjr owner too. Had an 8 year riding lapse. Have fun and good luck!

Thanks Dave. Dummy me, yes, loading it the ‘wrong way’ resulted in the windscreen ripping right off the bike when I got my pickup up to about 60 mph! I seem to always have to learn things the hard way. Have a happy summer!

Hi my name is Tom Garrett I live near Salem Oregon. I just bought a used 2006 Fjr from a lady in Camas Washington on July 1. It has 65k on it, My last bike was a BMW K 1200 LT weighing 930 pounds. So this bike is refreshingly light. I’m looking forward to riding the wheels off of it, but I have...
