I don't know if you can do it yourself, but any Yammy dealer will do it for you. Too bad your new bike is so old and worn out, though. So it's on what, its second tank of gas?

Welcome to the club!! Congrats on the incredible find!! Thought about getting the same color a little over a year ago, until my wife said why don't you just get a new one. I learned several years ago to pick my battles and that's one reason why I'm on year 12 (or is it 13) of my honeymoon. My 2012 is sitting in the dealer's garage waiting for me to ride it home.
Becareful of this site, it gets expensive. I have four things being shipped to me as I write this and have to come up four reasons fast when the boxes arrive.

Yep, me thinks you will like the FJR and this forum too!
Walked away 
Is it really crashing if you don't fall down?--
I wouldn't change a fucking thing; I've lived hard, played hard, and I ain't done yet. I've paid some severe penalties along the way, but the rewards have been so much greater; even if for just have participating in the game of life with utmost abandon. It's not who rides the furthest in a day, but rather in a lifetime. CBA member #1, IBA #31845 and very proud of both.
