Hi all, So far no takers for the FJR. I'm putting the price to $8,900 on Cycle Trader. I have been riding this bike, thinking I would keep it, but it is too heavy for me to deal with comfortably. Need someone to take it home with them. Thanks for all your help! Laurie

Hello all, Thank you so very much for your condolences. I have listed the FJR on Cycle Trader as 2013 FJR 1300A. I do need to sell it so I'm lowering the price to 10K. Laurie 480-951-2212 or [email protected]

2013 Yamaha fjr1300 fjr 1300 - $11000 (Cave creek and Tatum) Here is the header for the ad. Not sure how to do this hope you can find the ad.

Hi, I am posting as my late boyfriend AKjitsu. With deep regret I must tell you he passed away in July. Now I need to find a new home for the FJR. He took really good care of it and loved it greatly. Here is the link to the Craig's list ad. It's in the Phoenix area...

I would strongly encourage you to go for it. You'll learn more about the bike's limits and yours in one track day than you will in thousands of miles on the road. And those limits are a lot higher than you currently think they are. It's a very pure learning environment; just you, the bike, and...

What would you expect? He's a Marine.

That's the way to do it!

I've put Pazzo's on every bike I've (and my GF) owned in the past ten years. Spendy, yes. But, once they're on that's it. Done and over with. Nary a problem. FWIW I always go with the shorty brake lever because I only use two fingers on the brake. Makes blipping the throttle on downshifting less...

Kuryaken $36 is Close to perfect IMHO.

I have a pretty good sense of what temps the gauge "normally" reads under different conditions. Being a bean counter by trade I just automatically mentally record numbers I see. Under the conditions existing when I rode for the first time with the new ecu, it was reading about 20 - 25 degrees...

Oh sure. Make fun of my dyslexia. Real nice.

Got it plugged in and test ridden. 105 indicated, 102 Garmin. And everything transfered: odo, trip odo, gas gauge, clock, info screens, the whole shebang. The only oddity is the indicated engine temp is running rather high. Fan not coming on or anything. Firmware glitch?

This may be more appropriate for the tech problems area but, I'm looking for exposure to the most experience possible. I have a friend (contrary to what some you assholes may think) who's ridden BMW's and Ducati's all his days. I've been extolling the virtues of the "bulletproof" Feejer to him...

Did yours come with a flat bottom? I ask because I got a pair of these a couple of years ago and the bottom section has a hump (cavity) on the bottom to house a HARD unit. I had to do a bit of fabricating to make the bottom flat again to fit my mounting arrangement.
