    Anyone used a Yamaha OEM Gel Seat

    Yes I bought one, used it twice [4 hours total]& has been sitting in the carton it was delivered in for the past 3 years. I'll put it on my 10FJR when I trade It for 13FJR which are expected to be on the dealers floors here very soon.

    Here we go again 2013 FJR

    A stuffup from America's EPA releasing documents on their website hinting an updated version of the 2013 FJR, were quickly removed & replaced by a new version with a lot of details removed. However before it was pulled it revealed the engine & emission data are listed as new, meaning the motor...

    Alpine White FJR1300

    I like it. However, the tank & fairing stripes should line up & form one straight line. But hey, I'm anal.

    Aussie FJR prices

    I have purchased most parts for my bikes [now including tires] from the US for the last 15 years. Even when our dollar was around 68 US cents, parts + shipping were still cheaper from the states. I recently enquired about the price of the front brake pads for my FJR from "Team Moto" [Yamaha...

    2000 WSBK championship

    ET, there's nothing wrong with your memory. Haga probably would have won the superbike title had Honda not pushed the ephedrine incident to the max. The usual tactics from the biggest player in the game.......win at any cost.

    crazy Irishman doing the seemingly impossible

    I've ridden some fairly big waves in my youth 12-15ft, but 90ft [ ^uck ] would be so dam scarey.Lose it down the face of that mother, & you would feel like you were inside a cement mixer with no off switch.

    Proper use of the "F" word

    HD finally admits that Loud Pipes cost...

    Whilst loud pipes are a pain in the arse, I can't help thinking HD is looking at this issue as a marketing exercise maybe more so than the noise problem. With their new bike market shrinking, & as one of the HD executives said some time ago when asked about the aging buyer market said " The...

    Irresponsible

    If it was someone from this forum, I don't think they will be owning up too soon.

    PR3 problems

    I agree with GPRIDER. He has run over something. Maybe one of those tyre deflating spiked mats used by the police.

    Shorai battery install

    [quote name='UselessPickles' . Don't forget the additional 10hp that you'll think you'll feel because of the new sound of the exhaust :lol:

    Now that's the way to do it

    My guess is they did it so their asses wouldn't be sued.

    Helmet strike

    Seagulls, yes I know all about those bastards. I hit one at 260kph on the Phillip Island circuit 2 years ago at the afterburners ride day [ Monday after the sunday GP ]. Bloody thing almost knocked me out cold & destroyed my 5 day old Shoei X-11 helmet. Had just enough in reserve to finally...

    Rear Suspension shield

    Hello there LagerHead, good to see "your having a go" [timing belt]. Your obviously motivated enough,& to make the shield, should be a walk in the park for you. For those sitting on the fence, remember,"You'll never know till you have a go". Cheers.

    Rear Suspension shield

    G'day Bounce, If you know & live near another forum member who can make the shield, maybe get together & knock up one for each bike. Alternatively,you buy the materials & he makes them. Honestly, once you have made one, making the second is less than 1 hours labour. Cheers.
