By looking at how much some of you have paid for a new one, my 2016 is almost worth nothing. 

Throttle Body Cleaning. I have a 2016, I noticed last winter it wouldn't fire up right away and it would die sometimes on cold start up. I took it into a Yamaha tech who works on lots of FJR, I told him the symptom. He said it was common issue and he thoroughly cleaned the throttle body by...

My SYM Joymax 300CC scooter don't even have oil filters and they tend to run forever. I just change oil every 1500KM 1.2 liters always looks golden.

This is why I never use tail bag, once forgot to zip the bag back up and when I got home lost everything in the bag including a brand new cell phone.

How about Sena 10C, with built in camera.

Shoei RF1200 may not be the best choice for use on sports touring bike. I will compare 2 of my helmets. HJC RPHA 11 (similar to Shoei RF1200) is designed for tucked race position, when I wear this helmet the vent doesn't flow air that well on the FJR. But on CBR 1000, it flows a whole lot of air...

GIVI 357 rack you will lose the ability for your passenger to use the grab rail due to width of both Corbin & Sargent seat. After her 1st ride on the FJR, she looked at my VFR 1200 "you're so much comfortable." I'm going to put the stock seat on the back along with GIVI topbox and will ask her...

Today I took my wife out for lunch and she complained that she couldn't use the grab rail. I had the Sargent seat on and completely forgot about the width of the seat. I have GIVI SR-357 rack and with Sargent & Corbin it takes away space for the pillion to hold the grab rail. I guess she'll be...

In order to install the Corbin seat, you have to remove the plastic seat height adjuster. So that makes it lower than low setting on the stock seat.

I only had the 2016 FJR for a week but prior to getting the bike I purchased both Corbin and Sargent seats. I knew the stock seat wasn't idea for me because I only have 30 inch inseam after sitting on it at the show room. I was hoping aftermarket seats would lower the overall seat height as well...

Thank you, I just didn't want to break things.

I have a Corbin seat, how do you remove the seat height adjuster to install the seat. Do I have to unbolt anything? Thanks in advance.

I think I can push it more than 11K in 12 years of ownership.

How do you remove the plastic bracket to install the Corbin seat?

I'm just an average Joe, with two grown daughters (younger one being a senior in college), I wish I was rich.
