    The FJR Bird Strike Poll

    I tagged a swallow years ago on my first Yamaha, a 250cc Big Bear. Got me in the shoulder..like getting hit with a line drive baseball. Heading east across the US on hwy#2 mid morning following a riding buddy on his Goldthing. In a span of 20 minutes he hit two birds flying out of the grass at...

    Lithium Battery Blues

    A year ago I replace my second OEM battery on my '04 FJR with a Lithium battery. Lighter and full of cranking amps, I was initially very pleased. I also installed a Voltmeter at the same time. Running along at 3,000 rpm plus the volmeter shows12.9-15.1v. I found it odd that the voltmeter...

    Best replacement battery. 2005 ABS

    I installed a Shorai this spring, small and much lighter and a few good reviews around, I popped down the cash and installed it. On my recent 8 day tour from Vancouver Island down to California and back (must say I am in Love with Hwy 36 west to east in Cali) If the bike was hot and the fan...

    "Consumer Reports:" Yamaha most reliable motorcycle !

    If you were a lawyer, you'd probably start a class action suit for sticky glovebox lids, after taking it to the dealer, and having had your bike tied up for two weeks while they 'investigate' the issue. But seriously, BMW riders I ride with acknowledge that bikes made in Japan, required less...

    2013 FJR - Product announced!

    Face it, Yamaha has always considered Europe the real market for the FJR. In North America we are always a year or so behind.

    2013 FJR - Product announced!

    Purely speculation, but when you think about it, it makes complete sense. Introduce the major changes to the bike in Europe in the AE format that is still popular there. Give North America the clutch model(because they can't give away AE's in N.America) with the basic up grades to keep the price...

    FJR Mileage Milestones

    My'04 turned over 100,000 original in June in Hereford Oregon. Met Rog&Deb that night by sheer luck in a restraunt in John Day Oregon. Great place for a Rally. Still in love with her after all these years.
