I just installed a new +5+4 last week. I'm 6'1" with 32"inseam. I find it to be a lot better than stock. I would be curious however to sit on the bike with the +4+3 just for comparison. While the larger one does provide good wind protection I wonder if it could be one size smaler, and I do...

I have had my 09 for a couple of months, and both signal light lenses have shown varying degrees of internal condensation since very early on. I just took one light out to have a closer look and found that the moisture only resides in the outer chamber, between the clear lens and the amber...

It's been a couple of weeks, just thought I'd give an update on my missing side cases. The short story is - yesterday I brought home 2 new side cases from the post office :clapping: Longer version - shortly after I posted my story here on the forum I sent an email to Yamaha Canada via their...

All good points bramfrank. Do you think I should go to Yamaha Canada next, tell them the whole story, and have my local dealer inspect the bike before I ride it any further? I wouldn't want to void my warranty. When the dealer told me there would be no assembly I envisioned receiving a huge...

Good point charismaticmegafauna. I still have, at home, a customer service survey sheet from Yamaha which, as you all know, asks all kinds of questions about how satisfied I am with my dealer. One of the points in there is whether or not I was given that speech, if I was shown how to operate...

Thanks for all the encouragement folks. Today I sent an email to Yamaha Canada customer service via their website, asking if the bags are shipped separate from the bike, their response was: "The side cases are shipped separately from the actual unit. I would not recommend trying to fit them in...

I recently purchased a new 2009 FJR. I reside on the island of Newfoundland, the most easterly landmass in North America. To shorten my story I will simply say that for economic reasons I purchased my bike from a Yamaha dealer on the mainland portion of Canada. After buying the bike I next...
