    garmin lighter plug

    update.. I took an old spotlight that plugs into a lighter socket and nothing.. I thought I should double check it in one of my cars and still nothing,, bummer. I had to file my spotlight in the old circular file. I finally found another adapter that went to a phone so I plugged it in and of...

    garmin lighter plug

    I have a question about using my Garmin with the cigarette litter attachment on my 2017 FJR. The unit works just fine in a car through the lighter adapter but I get no juice when using the one on the bike.. Does the adapter on the bike only accept a certain type of plug or do I have a small...

    seat height versus inseam

    Sliding forward and off to the side becomes a little bit of an issue because I ride with my wife as a passenger much of the time. I hate to spend money when I don't need to but I think the Laam might be the way I end up going. I won't be able to do a rid in for a fit but I don't think that...

    seat height versus inseam

    I think that might be the way I have to go... I was just kind of hoping that the sargent or the corbin might already have the narrow front built in.... I've got the 32 inseam but I think I need to loose about 20 or 30 lbs for my legs to come in close enough to the bike. Bummer, loosing weight...

    seat height versus inseam

    Is the Yamaha gel just another name for the comfort seat or is that a totally different seat? Yes it is in the low position. When I first got the bike I was hoping that it was in the high so I could lower it

    seat height versus inseam

    I changed from a 2004 FJR with a Sargent seat to a 2017 with a factory seat and the seat height acts like the bike is actually a couple of inches higher than the 2004. I was wondering if anyone who has tried the Sargent, Corbin, or the Yamaha Gel seat has noticed the seat height difference...

    2014 Yamaha FJR1300ES - Yorktown, VA

    As long as you still have the bike and seats can you tell me if there is a difference in how the Corbin effects how your feat reach the pavement. I have a 32 inseam and can stop flat footed on my 2004 with Sargent seat but I am not even close with my 2017 Yamaha seat. and if the seat does...

    Gen I compared to Gen III

    I just went from a 04 with 90k miles and so many mods and ad ons that it is hard to count but so dependable that it still has original clutch and never needed a valve adjustment.. The 17 model was broke in for me with 1400 miles on the clock and I put another 1300 in the next 2 days.. Many of...

    2018 FJR Details Released

    I like the new blue but I found a 2017 with 1400 miles on the bike for 14,500. to me the blue is not worth waiting a few more months and then putting out at least another 3k.. I picked up the 2017 yesterday and rode the 1300 miles to get it home today.... I found out I really like the newer...

    2018 FJR Details Released

    I was so hoping for a red or yellow bike.. now I'm not sure if I will get a 1 year old black bike and save about 3 grand or buy the blue that has no upgrades over the 2017 model.. I'm so torn about this one... I really didn't want black but I don't think the blue is worth that much more to me.

    2018 FJR release details?

    I am trying to wait to see the new color before I decide what year to buy.. If I like the 2018 color that's my bike but if I don't like the color I will probably buy a discounted 2017. I really wish I knew how long before they announce the new color. I haven't been without a bike for a long...

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    Those holes are not from the mirrors, the new mirrors completely cover the old holes. The holes are left over from a set of lights that were attached to the fairing when I bought the bike..I'm going to plug them if I ever see something that I want to plug them with but they are about a 3/8 hole...

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    Love the looks but the grip is marginal, I think I'll just add a tacky surface if I can but they have been on about 2 years so far when most of my grips have been wearing out every 2 years.
