Thank you. It was so obvious when I came back from a break. Appreciate your help. Skip

Nevermind... coming in to make this request, getting a snack, then sitting down at the bike refreshed made it all clear... the throttle cables are over the heat shield... not under.

I got a feeling that I should take a picture before removing the heat shield but did not... and now I need one. Especially the right side where the throttle cables are located. I recall when removing the heat shield that the throttle cables went through the hole, but now, trying to install the...

Although I try to understand mechanical things that I work on... I need some help with a couple things.... 1. What is the purpose of the item described as 'damper' that is attached to the clutch cover. I do not see how it is engaged in any way to dampen anything. 2. What is the significance...

IDIOT ALERT - here is what I did- It is possible to get the pressure plate installed and tightened and NOT be centered on the clutch push rod. This keeps the pressure plate extended and prevents the clutch lever from pulling in (because the pressure plate is already extended. Fortunately no...

I just finished my clutch soak and all went well.... until I put the bike together again.... not the clutch won't pull in. The clutch handle feels like a brake handle. Back apart again and I don't see anything wrong. appears that the clutch is stuck disengaged Ideas?

I bumped my saddlebag on a corner of a breezeway while moving my bike and the rubber bumper strip on my left saddlebag came loose. I took it off to keep it from falling off and want to put it back on... It is in good shape. The problem is all the old glue that needs to come off.... How? 2010...

It is not that I am not listening... the problem is that I am a believer in design. Everything I have found about the bike from Yamaha says idle at 1000 rpm. Raising the RPMs to 1100 may resolve the issue, but it is a workaround. Ever been to a shop where someone working on your car gives...

When this happens, it is like the key is turned off. It is not an idle problem because I haven't let the clutch out enough to start to grab. Blipping the throttle will also cause the engine to stop randomly. I am going to ask the dealer about it, but I know what the answer will be when I...

So I finally reached 600 mills today and changed the final drive oil. The dealer gave me yamaha shaft oil but it is not the part number listed in the manual. After changing the oil I went for an hour drive and then felt the temp of the final drive unit...it was pretty warm...to the point that...

I have a problem with my new 2010 FJR that keeps recurring.... when I am at a stop and I let out the clutch and starting giving the gas, the engine stops. It does not stall from dragging the clutch... it stops like I turned the key off. I haven't even let the clutch go far enough to stall the...
