While watching the video of operation of the YCC-T, I came across this. Later,,,De

A while back the cruise lite would go out but I could click it back on right away. This happened once a ride but within a week got more frequent. The next week it would start blinking during a ride and I couldn't reset it till I turned the key off. Within 2 weeks it would just blink when I...

Yep, 1st FJR problem since I bought my '03. Was riding my 2013 w/cruse on, but not set and cruse light started blinking. Only way to reset it is to turn key off. Doesn't do it right away but after a minute of riding. Did change rear tire about 500 mi ago (and light just now started blinking)...

I was helping w/H-D demo rides all last week at the “Bikes, Blues & Bar B Que” event in Fayetteville AR. Yamaha also had a demo unit there & I got to talk to one of their reps. When I asked about the upside-down forks for 2014, the rep told that there was no such thing! I moved away from him...

Here’s the deal. Frame sliders are the next mod for my 2013 and I’m not sure which. The Yamaha ones from https://www.yamaha-motor.ca/pna/detail.php?sectionId=AC&groupId=1&subGroupId=4&categoryId=49&itemId=1148 are $299.95 from www.bobsmotorsport.com in Canada and the GSG/MOKOs from...

It may be because I went from Gen1 to a Gen3 but I didn’t know there was a difference with the side case lower black rubber locating cushion outer dimensions between Gen1 and Gen3. It probably started with a change with the Gen2 because (I think) that is when the side case lower mount bracket...

Yep, I replaced a front signal lamp on my '04 but it has been so long ago I forgot how. That's the problem with having an almost perfect, maintenance free bike, along with being old and forgetful. Yes, along with others I ripped everything out behind the engine, to inspect for greased splines...

Well it finally happened to me last week in the middle of a 900+mi round trip to Memphis & back to Hotlanta. Checked my tires before I left & rear BT021 was almost (1/32") down to wear bar. Plenty of tire (3/32" tread) for my slow accel & high speed type of riding. Hmmm, not quite. Before a...

Last week, spent 3 days & 2 nites riding the NC/TN twisties. Me on my ’04 FJR and 19 yr old grandson on my ’02 S3T Buell. Rode a little faster than usual staying with grandson who has been riding for a year. For the 1st time, I scraped both pegs numerous times. This is probably cause I usually...

My baby's has been slightly sticking and no way to easily lube it. The main return spring would mostly return it but after the master cylinder return spring reached the end of it's travel, the leaver would stick there at times. The brake pads were back to their retracted position but that last...

O K, I took delivery of my'04 FJR in Sept '03 so I did buy a new battery, this summer, for whenever. Started fine, last Sat morning & 20 mi away (on Hotlanta Xway) I saw a flash from somewhere (I rarely look down) & felt a slight hiccup. A couple of miles later, a couple of flashes & more...

Just like checking your cars oil pressure detection system (lite goes on when key is turned on & U actually look at it to see that the bulb is on & then start it & lite goes off) U should check the system on your FJR. Changing the oil on your FJR makes this easy to do. With new Yammy filter on &...

O K guys & gals, I really like seeing your photos with all the neet circles & arrows & words etc. added to your pixs & I would really like to do it but I don't know how. What's your secret & how do you do it. I can take em & post em but that's about it. Help Help Help Thanks,,, De :rolleyes:

Yes I have bought a few things on Ebay but I'm not a big user. On a Acsot VT500FT board there is a post about sniping on Ebay & I had no idea what that is. Being a snoopeing type of guy, I went to Ebay and did a search for "sniping". I guess I really do need to get out more. Do U guys snipe ? I...

Does anything loosen this stuff. My fingernails are wore out! Later, De :)

I'm tired of getting soaked hands. Tell me what you got that works & where U got them. Later,,, De :)

No guesses here & I'm sure there's a lot of openions on this but does anybody know for sure? I'm like SkooterG & tend to let sleeping dogs lie. My '04 runs great & I've yet to let to let anyone else service it sept me. Yes I do have the YES but probably will never have to use it. Later,,, De :huh:

Did a search on Tank Bra & looked at 10 pages & only saw tank protectors like Mag Night & Scotch, etc. Am looking for one thick enough to insulate the heat from my legs. For the 1st time riding in 95 F degree temps, it was hot enough to make me spred my legs. Reminded me of my Buell. Any...
