    Tour master vs first gear heated jacket?

    I have the tourmaster liner as well as gloves and I have ridden here in Maine down to 21 degrees. Had to have it on high for that ride but commonly ride when in the 30's. Since I got this gear it has added 6 weeks to the riding season. Quality is great. I use the liner underneath my Joe...

    Problem with TourTech Stem Mount

    I have the same mount for my 550. CALL Techmount. I had the same thing happen and there was supposedly a batch of bad ones. They sent me a new one at no charge, had within a day or 2 and it threaded on by hand (and then torqued to spec of course). They had awesome tech support and had no...

    WOW - The Feej Is Fast!

    155+ on the speedo but the zumo showed 146 top speed. doesn't take any time to get to 130....kinda scary. steady as can be at high speed....that is until you hit the wind shear coming off of the front of an 18 wheeler at 100+...holy crap :(

    Do you ride with your Hard Bags?

    I leave them on. don't notice that much of a difference in handling. I like being able to actually carry something in the empty side. other bag I always keep tools, tire repair "stuff".

    08 clutch problems

    I have an 07 and started off with the same issue. I was worried as hell that I would have to deal with that hard upshift and not being able to downshift but it all went away after about 5k miles. Give it time and she will loosen up.

    How about this tire pressure monitoring system??

    I purchased this one and it works great. It's nice, accurate, easy to install and I ended up mounting it with velcro. If you call them, they can provide black. It also provides tire temp. https://www.autodax.com/catalog/pdetail.php?prdid=208

    What have I got in an FJR?

    If you end up getting a Zumo for your FJR, like I did, let me give you a reminder for those that have kids...remember to reset your "Top Speed". I had taken my Zumo off to put in the truck and it happened to be sitting on our dining room table. My son picked it up and was playing with it...

    Turn signals

    I have had the same problem on both turn signals since day 1 on my 07...never thought much about it. Never had an issue with them working. I agree with fjrcouple-ride faster to dry them out!

    Blue Flame EVO

    thompsonian - hey, I've been looking at the Blueflame's but have been holding back because I like the looks of the two brothers m5's as well. I guess my question is, how loud are the blue flames? I wouldn't be putting myself back in "cruiserland" would I? I had some Bub Jug Huggers on my...

    grizzly or rincon?

    I don't have a Grizzly 700 but I do have the 660 that I bought in 2003. It has been an awesome machine and have never had an issue. Even though it is a "utility" atv it still does 65mph which actually is nice on those long dirt road stretches. If the 700, is as reliable as the 660 is, you...

    Microsoft Zune

    this is all so funny...I bought the 80gb Zune the day it was released and I have never had an issue. Watching movies I have downloaded as well as listening and transferring any of the 5000 mp3's I have. As a matter of fact, my son and I fight over my Zune even though he has an Ipod...iTunes...

    Which GPS To Buy?

    +1 for the Zumo 550. I installed the Zumo and have been extremely pleased with its operation on the motorcycle. Big buttons/touch screen so that it can be easily used with gloves. I also installed the stem mount from techmount (short stem) to house the gps and have had many people ask if the...

    Lets Talk Helmets

    Another happy EXO700 owner. My wife and I both have them and they seem to fit our heads well so the noise level is low and the comfort is good. Venting is good on hot days and the antifog shield is nice when riding in the 30's.

    Scorpio Alarm Mount Location?

    Any of you mounting your Scorpio on an 07 FJR ? If so, where do I find the wiring harness to plug the Yama specific connector to from Scorpio? I bought the Centech AP-2 which I just received and am now ready to mount but cannot find where to hook this connector. I have seen mutliple posts but...

    FJR in Maine ?

    Just for kicks try Ken's Yamaha in Norway Maine. 207-743-8256. I bought an 07 last year and had the same trouble finding. Awesome to deal with and they shipped it up to Maine from their store in NH for free so I could pick it up without driving down.

    FJR vs Cruiser

    To each his own...I traded in my 2004 VStar 1100 Custom last year in April and put more miles on my 07 FJR in 1 year than the 3 years I had the VStar. A lot more fun for me to ride even though all the "cruiser" guys I ride with call me a "yuppie". Still, I am the one who doesn't have to stop...

    Why is nothing wrong with my bike?

    wow did this thread get sour...I am another with an '07 without issues. I would not trade this bike for any other that is currently on the market. As far as what fireroadeddy had to say...to some extent I have to agree with him. If Yamaha sells 1000's of the FJR's every year, why do we think...
