Have been using Amsoil SAE 75 - 90 synthetic gear lube in the shaft drive gear case since the first oil change ( 200 miles) and changed with the engine oil three times since the initial fill. During a 1500 mile three day ride I noticed the rear wheel and tire had accumulated a greasy dirty film...

Farkeling out a 2007 FJR. V stream wind shield, highway pegs, radiator guard, moto lights, MC Cruise control, grip puppies, moto sliders and Wild Hair bar end weights were the first additions. New Heli bar arrive looking good. Couldn't wait to tackle install, however one small snag. No parts...

How this question dosen't step on toes, but I am curious about success stories with FJR owners using Arkansas Yamaha dealers for maintenance and waranty work. Who can you recommend?

Installed MC Cruise made for 06 - 07 bike specific cruise control on 2007 FJR1300 A. Also installed NGK CR8EIX iridium plugs while tank and heat shield were removed. First test ride yesterday resulted in cruise control refusing to engage even though all indicator lights indicated it had. All...

Just rolled over 2,300 miles on the 07 FJR. During my last two rides to the Hot Springs area (300+ miles round trip in a day) the area between my shoulder blades developed a very uncomfortable burning feeling. Bike suspension, seat and handlebars are bone stock. I am trying to ride loose with...

Forum search only suggested replacing with FZ1 mirrors. Has anyone designed cosmetically pleasing extension to set the stock mirrors out enough to get a good view of where you've been?

Saw reference to Wild Bill's highway pegs. Search didn't reveal a retail source. Any information on this or other highway peg options for an 07 FJR would be appreciated. I guess I was spoiled by my VTX's floor boards and multiple foot rest accessories. Need to reposition the artificial knee...

Big footed me managed to melt shoe sole rubber on the hot exhaust pipe while hunting for the side stand. So far this gunk defies all removal techniques. This includes hard plastic scrapper, WD 40 and fine steel wool. Any experience to be shared in removing this stuff? Is there a shield available...

During my past as a cruiser rider I have only been accustomed to kick stands. As a new FJR owner I need to learn a technique that allows the rider to smoothly and relatively effortlessly position the machine on the center stand. It seems that there is more risk of dropping the bike while getting...

Scheduled pick-up of my 2007 FJR with D&H tomorrow Friday February 2nd. Living in S.E. Ark, we now have a weather advisory indicating sleet, freezing rain or possibly snow. My GAWD how can this be? The bike has been in for a couple of weeks, but work commitments have kept me from making the...

Hope this isn't one of those "can of worm" subjects like what kind of oil should I use, but I am curious as I am picking up a new 2007 FJR at D&H this Friday. How many followed factory breakin proceedures or used "Motoman" or other breakin techniques. D&H said using high (above 4000) during...
