Thanks, that's a good thing to know.

Yes, that was it. A 2007 was available locally, the idea was to get some general impressions of Gen's I & II, since weather here precludes any test rides, even in the remote chance the dealer would go for that and I haven't rode a Gen II. Since posting the question, I have found out the 2007...

The post is redundant now, the 2007 has been sold,(not to me).

Barb Thanks for the comments, interesting info about your 2005. I am going over the list wfooshee posted the link to. Yeah, normally I can bypass the forum and get all of the bullshit and smart assed comments I need merely by talking to my one B.I.L.

HeUeR Absolutely. I found this site when I got my FJR back in 2005 and was all enthusiastic, but I soon found was not the most friendly place on the net; you're right, don't ask too many questions here. This was the first one in a long time, I thought I'd see what I'd get back, it was about...

Thanks, interesting info.

I might do those things. I wasn't aware of some of those features on the forum, I don't frequent this site too often anymore. Sorry for asking the question.

I am looking for comments on what differences I might notice if I were to sell my 2003 FJR and go to a 2007 FJR. My 2003 has been good but I have potential line on a 2007.

Thanks, good endorsement :) I thought it looked pretty good in pictures but haven't actually seen one.

Any suggestions besides cable locks? Anyone tried this; https://www.ascycles.com/detail.aspx?ID=1621

Thanks, you're right, it does have the frame color. What's odd is, here is the reply I got and they did not mention that :confusedsmiley: From: "Steve @ ColorRite" <[email protected]> Hello, Unfortunately we do not have a listing for this frame so we will need the color name & color...

Already did that, they don't have something for the frame, just the wheels and fairing.

Has anyone ever come across touch up paint for the frame of a 2003 FJR? It is silver but it appears to be different from the color on the fairing etc. Seems the guys at the shop left me with a small "reminder" of my last visit, by the time I noticed it, the discussion would have been, "oh no...

Oh Yeah, me, BIG TIME I used to be a cruiser guy, then it late 2003, I took an FJR out at a demo ride; it made my own bike feel "strange" when I got on it to go home, never had that happen before at a demo ride. My wife was shopping for a replacement for her 2004 GL1800A and in the process, I...

I see what you mean. Oil threads do seem to turn into a "unination match". don't they ;) IMHO, I use what I use; everyone else it free to use what they use.

Well my original question was not Never-Ending Pointless, to me. IMHO, it was a legitimate question, I was asking for factual data that I did not have, i.e. oil spec.'s given in the latest FJR manual. I got it and that was very helpful, thanks to those who provided it.

I couldn't find that info on the Yamaha Canada site but it was on the site you provided. https://www.yamaha-motor.com/sport/service/...rt_manuals.aspx THANKS :D , that told me what I want to know; 2009 FJR1300AE (couldn't find the "A" for 2009 on the site) 10F to 110F: 10W-40 50F to...

I am interested to know what grade(s) of oil is specified in the later model FJR manuals, since they don't supply Yamalube 20W-40 anymore.

I would still select the FJR for my own use, that does not mean I will run down its compeditors to justify my own choice. The Concours 14 is a well egineered bike, has a slight edge in performance and has developed a dedicated following. That about sums it up for me. The ergonomics of the...

Thanks, but as per my post, above, I wnet another route and got the Olympia Airglide pants and jacket.
