Price lowered to $7,000.

This is my bike I'm placing up for sale. Due to a chronic lower back/butt pain doctors can't figure out I haven't been riding and the bike has just been sitting. If you have any questions please email me directly. (tophog @ comcast.net) Around 15K miles, new Bill Mayer Seats, BMW grips, grip...

I should have stated initially that I did find that thread in searching and already took it apart and inspected. I did find a tad bit white/green corrosion on a few terminals but cleaned and siliconed already. Perhaps I need to pull it apart again and do a better job as it does sound exactly...

To be honest I haven't ridden it enough to really hone in on the RPM range, etc. I never noticed it before I did the maint. stuff on it so I'm not sure if it was doing it before I bought it or not. I would like to think so. I basically bought it, rode it home where it sat for a month while it...

I don't think the bike has ever been to a dealer. The OP told me he bought it and rode it and had no problems with it. Who knows ... At least there is no tick ... yet :) The tank looked clean from what I could tell by draining some fuel out and inspecting inside of tank with a flash light.

I checked the TPS sensor range and it looks correct ...linear and full range. As for the throttle I don't have to go to WOT...I can be cruising at 50 mph and got 3/4 throttle and can tell it's not taking off like it should.

I've searched but didn't really find anything, then again I could be searching based on the wrong keywords ... I have a 2003 FJR with 12K miles. I just bought it from the OP about 2 months ago. Since it was at 12K I went ahead and did all the typical maint. items ...installed new plugs...

I bought the medium as well for my 03 a month ago and being 6'0 it's perfect. Great for 2-up riding as well as my wife normally complains about buffeting/wind on other bikes I've had, even with it all the way down today she said it wasn't bad and great up about 1/2 way. She probably sits about...

I raised the forks another 2mm and that seems to have eliminated most of the heavy-feel while turning. I'm content for now with the way it feels until I can get a rear Penske shock so I can put the fork height back at the stock setting. Thanks for all the help/feedback.

No, I only packed them. I've done stem bearings on other bikes so I'm familiar with the procedure in general. I have the spanner wrench and followed the service manual procedure. The stem bearings are fine as are the tires.

38 psi front, 40 rear solo and 42 psi 2-up. This is my 2nd FJR ...had one of the first 2007's with the altitude issue which is why I sold that one with 2K miles on it (about 6 months before Yamaha recognized it as a problem). Had lots of bikes since, 2007 RT1200, Hayabusa, (2) 2005 FZ1's...

New PR2's front/rear, just repacked stem bearings, torqued to factory spec with stem tool ...no looseness/play.

I started with it on Soft and going to Hard seemed to help some before raising the forks.

I raised the forks 5mm in the triple tree per advise from Dave and it helped a lot. He told me to go 5mm-10mm as needed until I can get a Penske rear shock, of which I'm not sure I'm going to in the near future or not since the bike only has 12K miles on it.
