    2005 FJR 1300 "glove box/storage compartment" lock

    Thanks. Looking at this diagram in the link below, I think it's #72, which they call "Bracket," but it looks like the lock mechanism on my bike: https://www.yamahapar...92137/cowling-1 I'm trying to attach pictures of my glovebox to this thread to see if that helps anyone, but the "Image"...

    2005 FJR 1300 "glove box/storage compartment" lock

    Hi, I'm not sure what the part is called, but it's the plastic lock/locking mechanism that keeps the "glove box/storage compartment" closed, and opens when the bike is in neutral and the ignition key is in the "on" position. I've tried several local motorcycle parts places and dealers and no...

    General Dislikes

    Twigg, not sure how tall you are - but I bet super tall with a name like Twigg ;-). I'm 6 foot 2 and am plenty comfortable on my 2005 FJR. I had a bigger bike, 2006 Honda VTX 1800, which I could stretch out on, and the FJR is so much more comfortable in many ways...

    2005 FJR 1300 - Battery Voltage

    Thanks everyone! I replaced the voltage meter and it's working like a charm now. The LCD screen was bad which was causing the crazy fluctuation between 12v and 23v. All is good now in my FJR world...

    General Dislikes

    I've been riding for about 6 years (guess that's still considered a "new rider") but have owned 4 bikes during that time. My first one was a Ninja 500...which I rode for a year and wanted something bigger. 2nd bike was a CBR 954 RR. Both of those started to hurt my wrists and fingers...

    App for Tracking Rides on iPhone

    Can anyone suggest an app for the iPhone (preferably free) that tracks your motorcycle ride/route, as you ride? I've found a few that just show the map of where you've ridden, and include total distance and riding time, but I'd like one that will list every major road/route (like Google Maps...

    2005 FJR 1300 - Battery Voltage

    My 2005 FJR 1300 (that I just bought a month ago) came with a voltage meter but it's not fully functional. The LCD display flickers on and off, so I've ordered a new one. What I noticed before it completely died the other day, was that it seemed to fluctuate between 12v and 23v. What I'm...
