Son of a.. I just spent the last hour trying to figure out why the top 2 screws don't seem to fit. I thought perhaps I was crazy, or was suppose to drill out a wider hole through 1/2 of the case. How can Yamaha identify these issues and not even make a note to the dealer? My plate came in...

I have the same squeak when going over speed bumps.. Heh.. what is a pannier ? the service manual doesn't seem to match the word 'panni' anywhere. -noob

scary enough.. i took it back, and they took apart the assembly and tightened both.. as both were loose. It also seemed to get rid of the front end shake when braking.. that I had asked them about when I first got the bike and they said "thats the ABS" (While I was confused why the ABS would...

Cool. Thanks for the responses. I'm going to bring it back to the dealer to get it tightened.. apparently finding something that fits that nut is rather difficult. Thanks

Now that is a great idea.. Do they have some kind of "wheel kit" that would add another 2 wheels to the rig? Maybe the kit can move the wheels to more of a rectangle layout too instead of inline.. and have them on the front/back edge of the bike.. :)

The Cee Bailey screens look really nice! I might try one of those out. Any downfall to ordering the 6Hx4W ? I think the aftermarket Yamaha I have no is +2W.. could use it a little bit wider. Would the 6H cause any issues? The 4H yamaha I have now all the way down is still pretty low. Im...

Man I hope you find a great answer. I'm 6'2 and did a 800 mile ride over the weekend, and my back is killing me. I had to duck down under the shield anytime I wanted to talk to my friend via the starcom, cuz the wind noise was just too much. my entire head is above the windscreen (I have...

Did they find anything else? My new 07 FJR has the exact same clunk.. (I think). I took it back after about 10 miles and asked the mechanic (He and his wife both have FJRs as well) what was going on.. everytime I braked it felt like the front end was gonna come apart.. but he told me it was...

Looks great! Had a question for you.. I have a Starcom advanced as well, but have not yet installed it (Waiting for my Uniden radio to come in from Amazon for bike to bike.. hopefully it'll place nice with my friends chatterbox).. Question is, if I pickup the Zumo that includes Bluetooth for...

Mine came in as well today, just installed it. I felt the same thing "This is comfort?", it feels much more stiff when you first sit on it. The grip however, is noticeably better. I'll take your advice and go put 50 miles on it and see how it feels.
