Within the first 1000 miles of use I installed the black Wild Hair radiator screen on a 2007 FJR. Fits nicely and unobtrusive. No heating issues since putting an additional 11,000 miles on the bike. Lots of road trash in the Arkansas delta. Logging, agricultural and red neck debris. Great sense...

Sirrus satellite portable radio with tank mounted antenna, 12 V plug in and Shure ear buds, Baby glock, maps, reading glasses, glass cleaning wipes, sun screen, Alleve, and insulated water bottle.

Have been using Amsoil SAE 75 - 90 synthetic gear lube in the shaft drive gear case since the first oil change ( 200 miles) and changed with the engine oil three times since the initial fill. During a 1500 mile three day ride I noticed the rear wheel and tire had accumulated a greasy dirty film...

Farkeling out a 2007 FJR. V stream wind shield, highway pegs, radiator guard, moto lights, MC Cruise control, grip puppies, moto sliders and Wild Hair bar end weights were the first additions. New Heli bar arrive looking good. Couldn't wait to tackle install, however one small snag. No parts...

How this question dosen't step on toes, but I am curious about success stories with FJR owners using Arkansas Yamaha dealers for maintenance and waranty work. Who can you recommend?

Installed MC Cruise made for 06 - 07 bike specific cruise control on 2007 FJR1300 A. Also installed NGK CR8EIX iridium plugs while tank and heat shield were removed. First test ride yesterday resulted in cruise control refusing to engage even though all indicator lights indicated it had. All...

Just rolled over 2,300 miles on the 07 FJR. During my last two rides to the Hot Springs area (300+ miles round trip in a day) the area between my shoulder blades developed a very uncomfortable burning feeling. Bike suspension, seat and handlebars are bone stock. I am trying to ride loose with...

Novus #3 to remove scratches. Novus #2 to polish and Novus #1 to clean and defog. Find it on internet search. Works wonders. First found it removed scratches on a rag top plastic rear window.

Forum search only suggested replacing with FZ1 mirrors. Has anyone designed cosmetically pleasing extension to set the stock mirrors out enough to get a good view of where you've been?

I apologize for the quick retorts of the FJR illuminati. I too am a new owner and if it were not for first timers purchasers the FJR would not exist and this forum would be a figment of someone's imagination. Thanks to this forum I have learned a great deal about a fabulous motorcycle. It's a...

Always concerned when I send $500 USD to an unknown recipient. This occurred in mid December. Took possession of the bike on February 2nd. Everything was as promised. The agreed on price was the OTD price with no add on costs. They even threw in a free FJR ball cap. Gerald and his team are a...

Check with D&H in Cullman. I looked at one while picking up my 07 FJR1300A. It may have been an 06 as I think the color is the same. Gerald will know.

Have put about 700 miles on the new Multitech. Fits better than the Syncrotech. Visor seals tighter. Supplied chin guard accessory helps stop cold wind intrusion. Ventilation system is better than Syncrotech. Overall noise is somewhat reduced but you will still need ear plugs on longer trips...

Saw reference to Wild Bill's highway pegs. Search didn't reveal a retail source. Any information on this or other highway peg options for an 07 FJR would be appreciated. I guess I was spoiled by my VTX's floor boards and multiple foot rest accessories. Need to reposition the artificial knee...

The odometer just rolled past 1000 miles on my 2007 FJR. I also made the transition to the FJR from a VTX 1800 C. At first you don't notice the difference in acceleration between the two bikes, but as the brake-in takes place and you start allowing the engine to rev past 7,000 rpm you will feel...
