    My 2003 is unresponsive sometimes - No getup and go

    I've searched but didn't really find anything, then again I could be searching based on the wrong keywords ... I have a 2003 FJR with 12K miles. I just bought it from the OP about 2 months ago. Since it was at 12K I went ahead and did all the typical maint. items ...installed new plugs...

    03 with 1.0 front srpings - Feels heavy turning

    I have a 2003 FJR with 12K miles. Did all the routine maintenance a month ago, including repacking front stem bearing. Had fork seal leak so I removed them and had GP Suspension do a rebuild and Dave installed 1.0 springs based on my size and riding style. I'm about 190 lbs, probably 205 with...

    Gen I Givi 46 Topbox Mount Options

    I have a 2003 FJR1300. I just picked up a like new Givi V46 topbox and Givi rack on Craigslist thinking the racks were the same for all FJR's :( Needless to say the rack does not fit my 2003 as it came off a 2009. Rather than ordering the Givi SR346 rack for my 2003 I was wondering if there...

    Front Install Order - Forks, Handlebars, Front tire

    How to support bike - Need to remove front/rear tires and forks

    I need to remove front/rear tires to replace and since I have a leaky front fork seal I'm going to have front forks redone by GP Suspension with Eibachs. So if I want to do all this at once which is what I prefer how do I support the bike? I don't have one of those home-made pipe supports and...

    2003 Leaky Fork Seal - 12K miles

    It's been 4 years since I've been here. I had one of the very first 2007's with the infamous altitude surge issue before it became well-known. I ended up selling the bike with 3K miles on it due to Yamaha/dealer not able to resolve or do anything about. This was about 5 months before they...

    2007 Altitude Surging Problem - Members Wanted

    Well after a few weeks of seeing various posts related to altitude related surging problems I thought it would be best to post a single thread to collect information from anyone who has experienced surging related problems on a 2006 or 2007. While I think most of the reports are from 2007...

    First TBS, Look about right?

    I received my new CarbTune tool yesterday and decided to perform the TBS since I now have 1577 miles on the bike and didn't get the bike into the dealer for the 600 mile service since I went on a 4 day bike trip beforehand. I did change the engine and drive oil before the trip. I think I was...

    Oregon/CA Hiway 36 ride

    Just returned from a spectacular 4 day trip from Salem, OR down to N. CA to ride Hiway 36, 3, 299 and some others. I slabbed it down I-5 to Medford and met up with a friend. From there we took 199 down to Crecent City then road the coast down to near Eureka then took 299 east to Weaverville...

    Rack/Backrest recommendation

    I pickup my new 07 tomorrow. I've been getting a head start on the first upgrades. My eyes are bleeding from reading so much the last few days ...and yes, I have used the search feature right up to the point where it started smoking :) I think I have read so much I have confused myself...

    Want a Black Cherry AE?

    I do not yet own a new FJR because I want a 07 Silver/gray A ...not AE. I got to thinking that all I would need to do is find someone with an AE that would rather have Black Cherry and we would swap panels, tanks, bags, etc. ? Is there any reason why this would not work? I sent an email...
