I ordered one of these 1-1/2 years ago. What a nigtmare! Six to eight months after giving my deposit I decided to cut my losses and get out. The factory (who were very respectful) acknowledged that they were having supplier problems and reports from some of the distributors were laden with QA...

Thanks for the replies, guys! I will consider stator upgrade as well. Has anyone had any problems with the ElectroSport?

I am concidering installing a set of PIAA 1100X lights on my 05'. The only other options on my bike that are electric are J&M CB and Intercom System, Sirrus Sat. Radio and (I can't remember the brand) Cruise Control. My concern is the 110w drawn by the 2 55w bulbs. Can this alternator carry the...

Yamaha has illustrated that they can offer more than one model to the states. If they would continue with the "A" model as the standard and offer a "realistic" optioned model that will enhance the use of a "real world" "sport touring" motorcycle and drop the "needless gimickary" of present. The...

Yep that was mine. Yours must have been the 04 they were working on before mine. When they called to tell me it was ready, I told them that I couldn't pick it up until next week due to a death in my wifes family. When going over the bike, I noticed a scratch on top of the tank. After talking to...

It is not the dealers who should be held accountable! Yamaha should be held accountable! BE AWARE MS! If your 05 starts ticking they will not put the "new" designed valve guides you had in your 06, into your 05! The attitude you and others have had on this FI Mapping problem for the 06 -07 is...

I don't know just yet. I had two funerals to attend last week when they called me. You were right about how clean they keep the shop. Other than them not contacting me, as I requested, before they ordered the parts, they seem very professional. I'll let you know when I pick it up later this...

I agree! That is a fact! The difference makers are us! I had a 99' H-D Roadking that was recalled for a cam bearing replacement. When they changed it it was an upgraded bearing and plate, upgraded oilpump, lifters,etc. The bearing problems practically disappeared. Do you think H-D has better...

There are only two attitudes that apply to this issue and they both involve "what ifs"! 1) As you discribe is the "worried" attitude as in; "What if" Yamaha has indicated that the REAL fix is in the new design and they will depend on owner enthusiasm and their "bread crums" good will to stall a...

Believe me, I hope you are right but the fact that Yamaha redesigned the guides so extremely for the new bikes that it required an update to the head "only" to accept the redesigned guides may be a hidden message from Yamaha! Think of it this way! If Yamaha was totally confident that the...

OK, where do I begin? I finally desided to take my FJR to Friendly in Baton Rouge. Later they confirmed that there was indeed a valve guide issue. I asked that before they order parts for the fix, I would like to see what they were ordering. Even though they agreed, they never complyed to my...

Thanks M-Vette. I'll give Friendly Yamaha a call today. By the way. I live in Mandeville. I ride a few backroads with some buddies on Sunday's mostly. We have a few country restaurants we frequent. If your in my area give me a shout. Roadhound

When doing the TBS the tapping was definitly from the #1-#2 area. In fact, I wasn't sure I could hear any tapping from the other side of the engine. Even now at a more ditinguishable level, the left side (from sitting) is more pronounced. Roadhound

Yes, but only a few ounces. I changed my oil before a trip to Northern Virginia. It was on this trip when the "Tapping" elevated to the level illustrated. Later I noticed my oil level at the low mark. Because my bike has a "freaky" oil level, I measure the amount of oil I put back into it on...
