I hope the Admins will forgive me for starting a new topic but I did a search for my old thread on my wife's status but could not find it. I think the caption was much like this one but with 107 hits on what I believe the title was, none of them were the right thread. I was last on to give a...

For personal reasons regarding my wife's health, I had to sell my FJR. Andyman of forum who lives in Iowa purchased my bike and came to OK and picked it up on the 6th of this month. He came with his father and they were both great folks. The sale went flawlessly for me. It was hard to part...

Some of you are already aware of my wife's problem. She experienced breast cancer for which she completed treatment 4 1/2 year ago. On Dec 28th she got a severe pain in her back to which we both attributed to a pinched nerve. She had had the same problem a few months before and was treated...

Today I was riding north on OK Rte 74 just north of Rte 33 about 2:45 pm when a silver FJR passed going south. Was it anyone on this forum? If so I would like to meet you sometime. You can PM if you like?

My 07A will be 2 years old on Dec 4th. I had read HaulinAshes thread a long time ago and considered making the changes but just never got around to it. Well today I did it but modified it some as I am 175 ATGATT and I am a sport TOURING rider living in central OK which is basically flat and...

I ordered the G2 Throttle Tamer on a Wednesday and got it on Friday. I had sent my seat to Spenser for the LD mod the week before. It took all of 20 minutes to install the G2. I used a straight screwdriver with an 8" shaft, 1/4" diameter and 3/16" tip. I slipped it into the grip about 3/4 of...

I saw another 07 FJR in Arcadia, OK on rte 66 today about 4pm. Was it anyone on this forum?

It was 64, sunny and a little windy (20-35 mph) so I took advantage of the good weather and rode one of my favorite local rides. Rte 66 from Edmond, OK to Bristow, OK. It has a number of lazy curves and a couple marked 45 & 50 mph. I know for many of you that is not much but in central OK we...

This is not a joke. I attended a luncheon on Thursday 1-8 where the guest speaker was a Deputy U.S. Marshal. He was discussing the National Sex Offender Registration Act. Recently, two guys were stopped along I 40 west of Oklahoma City and relieving themselves in view of the roadway. A law...

I purchased my 07 FJR from Baker Boys Yamaha on 12-4-07. I have taken it back for the 600 mile, 4000 mile and 8000 mile services. To date I have been largely satisfied with their service. The only exception was on the 4000 mile service they overfilled the oil. They corrected that with an...

Yesterday my brother-in-law, Bruce had his 5th surgery as result of an M/C on 7-14-08. He shattered his right leg in the wreck and has not had use of the leg since that time. He had 3 surgeries the first week after the accident and a 4th about 6 weeks ago. Both the Tibia and the Fibula were...

I talked to my local dealer Service Manager a couple of weeks ago regarding his knowledge of the ignition failures on 06-07 FJR. He is relatively new and so I did not expect him to be aware of it. He did agree to contact the Dist. Rep. for Yamaha which he did. The Dist. Rep told him that he...

I have been using the same auto mechanics for about 15 years. They are a family run operation, build and run drag racers and are bike riders. When I mentioned the problem with loose wires in the ignitions the first words out of one of their mouths was how many electric add ons have been put on...

I am considering getting a tank bag but I have a heart pacemaker. I cannot go through the magnetic devices at airports and must be hand searched. I do not know the strength of the magnets in tank bags but I do on occasion lean over the tank while riding. I would not want to change the mode my...
