Okay, thanks guys. I figured it would be the same torque setting for both, but thought I'd double check, since I have the correct socket, but didn't see where the service manual gave an "either or" for use. Appreciate it.

Can a steering nut socket be used for this rather than the special scanner tool? Or is it required that the scanner tool be used?

I looked at the Yamaha box but decided on the large adjustable SHAD instead because of flexibility and price and availability. Can expand to 3 different volumes which is great. It also takes a special base plate and I’m pretty sure the Yamaha does also.

Thanks Dan. Found it

Thank you.

Since this is my first FJR (previously owned HD's and Triumphs), I'd like to get some input regarding dealer service. Today I stopped at a Yamaha dealer to inquire about my first service interval (600 miles). They told me it's a 3 hour service plus parts. Then he said the 16,000 service interval...

Thanks to everyone who replied....as a new FJR owner I really appreciate the support of the FJR communiity. I did install the horns this afternoon and they work great! I've owned triumphs and Harleys in the past and why they always install the cheapest horn on the motorcycle is beyond me, since...

My signalling fuse (7.5 amp) blew - probably because I was going to replace the stock horn and tried to test the two wires to see which one was the hot lead and I must have somehow shorted them out and blew the fuse. I didn't have a 7.5 in my inventory so replaced it with a 10 amp fuse. Okay...

Thanks for the tips. Much appreciated.

Thanks for the quick turn around on my request. I appreciate it.

I just purchased my first FJR after riding Harley’s and Triumphs all these years. I’m new to the forum. I’m installing T-Rex crash bars and am wondering if someone could let me know what the torque settings are for the engine bolts as well as for the muffler clamp bolt. Thanks in advance.
