Thanks guys! I guess tomorrow I will join the loud crowd. Brought home the 2014ES on Wedensday - today I got the Zumo wired in , the Corbin seat on and the Soupy's lowering links installed. Need 200 more km before the first oil change ( sounds like an ice cream ride for me)Then off to Colorado...

I picked up a pair of 2 brothers carbon fiber slip ons and am having second thoughts about putting them on. Their declaimer says they may need to repacked every 3000 miles. Any one got experience? Seems a little extreme to repack more often then we change oil. Is this just for extreme use like...

Does anyone know at what temperature the radiator fans are supposed to kick in? 2014

WOW It's great to be Canadian! Was thinking it might be time to upgrade the 08. Now Yamaha gives me black wheels and black tank trim to go with all the new tech stuff ~ Better rethink my attitude towards overtime. The red would have been passed over for sure.

Lochsa Lodge west of LoLo Hot springs. Great food and cabins. Don't even slow down for LoLo Hot springs it is so run down now it's scary.

If Ram don't make a mount for your device it doesn't need to be mounted.

https://www.soupysperformance.com/fjrparts.html I have this adjustable side stand and lowering links. They work great. Like a previous post just run the wheel up on a 2x6 and using center stand is easy. No need to cutting up original side stand.

Thanks Tom used Photobucket and successfully posted on first try. Very straight forward. 2 sleeps and we are off to Garden City UT

I use Picasa at home so I looked up Picasa mobile and found too many options. Didn't know which one to use will look at others. Anyone have a favorite mobile photo site?

Is there a way to post photos directly from my iphone4s. I'd like post photos in a ride report while still on the road. . Never seems to get done once back home.

Just got invited to ride from BC to Bear Lake ID. Sept 15.I wasn't planning any more road trips this year so my Z8's were supposed to last this season doing short local stuff. So here is my dilemma, I'm not about to turn down a ride offer and I don't really have time to get new tires before...

When do you plan to be " Going to the Sun ". ? You will be getting pretty close to my neighbourhood there. Wouldn't mind riding along. What BC DHs have you got picked out?

I've been using the Oregon for a few years now mounted on a Tourtech centerbolt mount. Works great on and off the bike, One unit meets all my hiking,biking,snowmobiling and geocaching needs. The only reason I'm considering a Zumo is for the bluetooth comunications hub which you said you don't...

+1 on the 08 being a fine year :P

Who was that on the blue FJR headed east thru the CNP. AB around 5:45 this afternoon?

Brobee you will enjoy your choice! You have alot more experience than I had when I bought my 2008 new in Aug of 2008. I was only into my second season of riding about (19000Km) when I took the FJR out for a test ride at one of Yamaha's Demo Days. My learner bike was an FZ6. I said if I...

Thanks for the report. Now youv'e gone and put another ride on my "to do list". When does it usually open?

We will take you up on that maybe as soon as next year! The rest of this season will be spent alot closer to home.

This for the two new friends we made on our 11 day ( 5000km) trip down the Oregon Coast as far as the California Redwoods and back through the twisted desert country of Oregon. We arrived home safe early this afternoon. The raingear never got out of the top box! A first for our muti day trips.

Saw something today that I'd never seen before. An elk was running along the guardrail in the on coming lane with a pickup "herding it". About the time I grabbed a handful of brake she jumped the guardrail. I did not check to see how far she would tumble to the lake!
