    Engine Miss /Skip Help Please!

    Just a thought...spark plug caps? Unscrew from the coil wires and check the resistance.

    FJR, Android, Garmin and Sena

    FYI...droid has a problem with "voice over bluetooth", not sure if you were all aware of this or not, or even if it has any bearing on this topic. However...I have a Sena that worked absolutely perfectly with my old LG phone...bluetooth, voice dialing, everything perfect when paired with my...

    Idle Air Bleed Screws Carbon Build-up

    Maybe we should also consider the crankcase breather...it could also be a source of "oil fumes" that get sucked into the TBs and onward into the combustion chanbers. I know that at 40,000 kms my throttle bodies were very badly grunged and my pair system was very clean when I inspected it at the...

    Has anyone ever upgraded their bags?

    Here you go everyone...a few shots from last year on my Black Hills trip, and the one shot of the bike with the old bags on. https://s656.photobucket.com/albums/uu286/wa2fst_2009/

    Has anyone ever upgraded their bags?

    I just updated last year to 2 X E41 keyless side bags, and an E55 trunk. Looks a little bit "fat" when sitting still...but it does offer a lot of space to carry along what you need. My spouse loves the extra room, and it has the added benefit of taking away another excuse for us to NOT take...

    LED Replacement Bulbs for Gen 1 Speedo Assembly

    Is there any net decrease in power consumption with the LED's? Is there a way you could measure it and post the data? The Feejers are always trying to steal back power to preserve the reserve they have. This would be interesting data if available.

    Sometimes a Ticker doesn't Tick

    Sounds like you have a pretty good dealer looking to assist you with the issues. Whether it's just selfish for themselves and to fill out their shop for keeping mechanics working during the winter or not...they did assist you...both the dealer and Yamaha. Good on them...glad I bought an FJR...

    SmarTire parts

    I tried and they don't have them anymore. The website displays that they do carry them...but when I ordered they said out of stock and no longer available. Know anywhere else I could try?

    SmarTire parts

    I have a smartire system on my FJR and need a few replacement parts (no longer available from the manufacturer). It still works, but one of the sensors is cracked. I've seen on the forum that some members have had this system broken or replaced and was wondering if anyone had any of the parts...

    Smartire TPMS system - parts availability?

    I have a smart tire tire pressure monitoring system on my FJR and am in need of a new rear sensor. Would anyone know where to get one, or have one available from their broken system? I know that the company is no longer making or providing service to the motorcycle community....but the rest of...

    Clear Alternatives LED

    I contacted them too a while back and they weren't going to make any right then. BUT....I would also be very interested in one if they did make them. Put some more "watts" in the bank so to speak. I'm in for one!

    Intercom system that will work with my in ear headphones?

    I visited the Seattle MC show to specifically look for an intercom system that would combine the following into a system: rider to passenger intercom (either VOX activated by PTT) allow me to plug in my I-POD or alternate music device bluetooth would be nice, but not a necessity major item and...

    Yamaha Sports Plaza - moved

    Hey everyone....just when I was wondering if YSP was going to give their 30% discount again this winter...I got the attached note to indicate that they have moved from south Seattle, to the Portland, Oregon area. I placed a large parts order with them earlier this year and picked it up at their...

    Titanium exhaust pipe for FJR?

    Does anyone know if there is a supplier out there who manufactures a titanium exhaust system for the FJR? I'm not especially looking for performance, just a lighter weight system.

    Dirty Throttle Bodies

    I had to clean mine during a recent tune up this past winter...they were very dirty too. Based on information from this forum, I checked the airbox, found it dirty (streaked inside as in other posts), and decided to remove the airbox and check further...WOW was I glad that I did. I found the...

    How much time to change plugs

    An easier way, and a sure way to keep plugs from falling out of the socket and dropping back into the plug hole...loosen the plug with the socket, then use a short 8" length of rubber hose to slip over the top of the porcelain portion of the plug and pull it out. Also easy to use to...

    Canadian TPS recall on Gen 1's

    I heard a comment quite some time ago in my carreer..."just because new parts look, feel, and smell new doesn't mean they're any better then the ones taken off". In other words, if it failed once it could fail again. I also see from the RM (repair manual), and inspecting my throttle bodies...

    Canadian TPS recall on Gen 1's

    I had my '04 done at Pacific Yamaha in Richmond, BC...great people. No hassle at all. I called to inquire about the recalls, the service manager asked me for my VIN...which I provided. He checked, said that it was eligible for several recalls, including the TPS replacement, and saddle bag...

    need a drawing

    I tried to order one of these from my local Yamaha dealership, and based on the YU33975 part number in the shop manual...they can't find a price or order this for me. Does anyone know what the correct part number is (if this isn't it??) and how much these are from Yamaha? I also heard someone...
