I'm orginally from NYC, moved to Central CT in 1990, Cincinnati, OH in 2005, and now may be getting a job @ Boeing. What's it like living and riding there? From what I can tell the temps seem to favor a bike that's a nut warmer like mine and it looks like there's great rding potential in the...

For those of you that have gone through a set of OEM bag liners and don't want to pay $$$ for junk, try these: Givi T443 I bought a pair today from sporttour.com for about $70 and am blown away by the quality. They fit PERFECTLY in the stock saddlebags, have three compartments, and are padded.

I was very surprised to find that the liner in the Multitech is not removable. For the price this is very surprising. Anyway, I absolutely LOVE this lid and want to get it regardless. What method do you folks use to de-funk :sicksmiley: your lids after a few hot, sweaty, rides?

Tried one on at the Cleveland show. Talk about a perfect fit! Anyone have one that can comment on its noise-level? I noticed at the show that it seemed incredibly effective at reducing background noise; I had trouble hearing the guy talking to me. Be nice to give-up wearing earplugs.

Just got back from the Cleveland IMS show and can say I actually don't like the color in person. Looked nice in some of the forum pictures but in-person I see that it's dark enough that scratches really stand out. Anyone know of a dealer with any '06 stock that's offering a good deal? Pappy

It worked all year but recently it's been having problems. Basically, when I set it - speed doesn't seem to be relevant - instead of holding speed, it very slowly drops off. The rate is something like 0.5 - 1 mph per second. It's definately not shutting off but it just can't hold a speed. My...

Yamaha's got a video of the '07's on their site now that shows the color pretty well. Awesome!

So, for those of us who: Can't drill straight, and: don't have a drill press what does one DO to get the ignition switch off??? :dribble: Though hacklike, this worked OK as long as one is willing to scrap the OEM T-Clamp. I left a little on there as opposed to sawing up close to the...

I'm installing one on GreyGoose's '06. I have an '05 but may be getting an '07 so I wanted to see how this goes together and whether it'll help... Read all the other posts - GREAT JOB GUYS! One question though: I'm trying to envision all the various steps involved and what I'm having trouble...

So my right-side high beam goes out. I go to Autozone and pick up a mundane set of H4's. I always change both lights on the theory that they started life together so they're probably going to hereafter together as well. Anyway, so I pull out the bulb and discover that it's fine but the...

OK. I know it's early but after riding Greygoose's '06 today, I gotta have one! I'm tired of blue and not in a hurry so, what's the speculation? R1 Red?!? Pappy

Does anyone know where to find the subject farkle? I've insulated, Barbarian'd, Cromeit'd, and hacked holes in my FeeJeR. Nothing as fugly as DickF's trun-signal mod of course!. :assassin: I've gotten it to the point where all I need to make it perfect is to buy / make a farkle that'll bring...

I recently discovered Corbin started making a two-piece seat which I think is totally awesome so I ordered one and am waiting for it. Come to think about it - too late - that there's this wonderful resource here that I should have consulted first! I searched and searched and didn't find...

Anyone care to guy whether this'll fit the earlier 'FJR Classic' models? Yamadog Heat Shield How much do you think it'll cost? I'm sure it'll fit as I don't think they changed that part of the bike. Looks just the same anyway.

Been reading about the gaps for three years. Lots of stories, videos, the picture of that cruiser guy falling on his arse, etc. No one ever writes about getting performance awards there. Now's that I've moved to within a day's ride of the place, I'm gonna go. So what's the scoop? Cops? Yes? No...

Hi All, I just finished popping-off the punkin :dribble: , eh, ummmm, that's sounds totally wrong... :D ...anyway... The splines were thinly greased so I added a bunch of the Honda lube. All was well with the world. Until... ...while trying to reseat the driveshaft, much to my...

Now that I have a garage, I took the time to tear into my ride. My wife was convinced that I'd never get the pile'o'parts back together... I followed the advise I received here about where to mount the servo, executed the installation exactly as shown on Marc Lewis' site, and used Skyway's...

I've looked through some old threads and couldn't find anything... Question for those with ABS bikes: Where did you install the CC servo? The how-to on FRJInfo shows it in the location where the ABS gizmo is. I'd rather not use the tool tray so where else can I put it? Also, for those with...

Saw two FJR's on I-75 recently. One was an '04 that I caught up to on my '05. The other was an '03 that I saw while going to work in the cage. I never saw a single one in two years riding in Connecticut and I see two here in three days. Gotta love Ohio! Pappy

I'm in Stavager, Norway on a business for my soon to be former employer. I found a Yamaha dealer in Forus and they happened to have a new '05 FJR in stock. $43,000USD !!! :omg2: :stunned: Holy Sheiss!!! A lot of that is VAT but come on! Who on earth can afford to live over here? US Pappy
