    2001 Yamaha FJR1300 Silver, 61000miles

    Hello It is with heavy heart that I am saying that the time has come to sell my beloved 2001 JFR. Brought to the US from Dublin (IRL) back in 2005. I have my new FJR (2017) and it is not fair for this one to always sit in the garage! It is someone else's turn to enjoy her as much as I have...

    2017 FJR ES fork cap socket size

    I just put my hands on a 2017 ES model. I am changing all the fluids before I ride it (not that I can ride it right now...). For those of you that have already done a fork oil change on a gen 3ES model, what is the socket/ wrench size of the fork caps? There is an outer and an inner ring. I do...

    Wanted 2006 or newer front seat pan

    Hi all I am the proud owner of a 2017 FJR. One of the things that is immediately apparent is how uncomfortable that seat is! I have a sargent seat on my Gen 1 but I think I am going to go for RDL seat this time. For that I need a seat pan or an old used seat. For what I understand, and by...

    Rear wheel bearing

    Hi all, For a while I have been feeling this click coming from under the saddle area. I feel it on the foot pegs mainly. I though it was the side stand that was loose and would vibrate with the bumps... but no, all good there. Then I though it was the center stand, no. Thought it may be the...

    2003 rotors and BAck Off wig Wag for sale

    Hi all I was clearing up the basement a little and I found this pair of rotors (49,000mi) within spec for thickness and run off (measured by me, mind you). I changed them for EBC sets because... I still dont know... maybe they look cool... good reason to spend money...There is some grooving but...

    ES forks, no bushings?

    I was looking at the diagrams of the 14-16 ES front forks and cant see any bushings in either the outer or inner tubing. Is that right?

    3M Scotchgard protective film

    For what is worth: based on someone at work that had this protective film installed on her car and the amazing results (you should see the state of the vw jetta paint... absolutely spotless!), I decided to buy it for my car and my wife's new car. While I was on the phone with them, I asked them...

    ES outer fork tube measurements

    Anyone out there with a metric measuring tape and calipers... and an ES model (I suppose from 2014-2016 all the same measurements?) can give me the diameter of the fork outer tube and the length? Cheers Luis

    cross over fitments (headlights, taillights)

    More research for the comparo matrix... It seems that the 2016 has a pretty cool LED headlight assembly that, by looking at the shape and anchor location may fit into a 2013-2015 (true?). The wiring, however, seems a bit more fiddly... I know that the 2016ES has the MTU that controls lean angle...

    Gen I OEM springs and rear shock for sale (28,000 mi)

    Lads and ladettes I am looking at clearing my basement of things that I no longer need. If they can live on someone else's bike that would be fantastic. The items in question are a set of OEM springs (I replaced them at 28,000 mi). Nothing wrong with them. I am 72kg (159lb). I have not abused...

    button-head socket cap screw needed for rostra installation

    I am in the middle of this epic installation. All the wiring is done and checked. I drilled the tang with a 4mm drill bit but all the screws I can find rub against the throttle wire. Anyone that has done this installation before... Any spares? I have heard that Smitty may have one? I would be...

    Sargent seat (front only) wanted

    Hey Anyone selling their Sargent seat? My front stocker is falling apart. I have an 03 Gen I. I'd rather buy something here than brand new since I am thinking of upgrading to Gen II at some point; but for the time being... Cheers, Luis

    Front wheel position

    I was changing the tyres with my brand new spanking no mar tyre changer and now I totally forget which side of the wheel goes right or left because sure enough I did not mark it!. There is a big circle and a small circle around whete the axel should be. Big circle is left or right? ☺ NB. This...

    front fork cartridge replacement for 2014-2015 ES

    Has anyone dropped an AK-20 or the 25mm GP suspension cartridge in either a 2014 or 2015 ES? I read the "project FJR" article in which they have to fiddle with this upgrade due to the dummy fork. What about the ES? The diagrams only show the internals for one fork. What about the other. Is it...

    lessons learned from my latest cylinder head cover placement after valve clearance check

    Right. It is all good now. Some background: I did my second valve clearance and after all the work was done (BTW a lot of those babies where out of spec in the tight side) I notice a little trickle of engine oil at the base of the frame (there is a hole on the frame by where the rear brake...

    Hi all I know there is a bunch of people that have removed their engines. Is there a how to anywhere (in addition to the service manual). I have done two valve clearances, removed tank, CCT swap and other jobs... I can't manage to get the gasket to seal well on that cylinder head cover. I...
