    Any speculations for the '09's?

    Any guesses as to what changes might occur on the '09's? Three years for the Gen 1's and three years for the Gen-2's. Are we due for a Gen-3 model? My guess is no. Here's my guesses: * 5 speed trany, hp/torque will stay the about the same with possible cleaner emission changes * Minor...

    Any scooter owners out there? ... cringe...

    I wasn't sure this topic should be posted under the "Other bike" or "non-bike related categories" :D ... but anyway! I'm looking around for a small 400c scooter to carry behind my RV when we head out on RV road trips. I'm narrowed my choice down to just two models, and prefer to buy a used...

    Installing the Brake Away throttle lock

    I'm in the process of installing the Brake Away throttle lock. Brake Away users..., according to the instructions I'm suppose to replace the stock bolt with the longer supplied one. The one that was supplied in my kit seems to be almost an inch too long - either that or I'm doing something...

    Shifting differences between '07 and '08 A's

    I heard that Yam made a change to the '08A to make it shift smoother (and/or quieter). Can anyone confirm this? Is the shift "clunk" really gone on the '08A's? And if this is true, does anyone know what Yam did? Finally, does anyone know whether the change be retrofitted to an '07A? SR-71

    Insurance...

    My FJR insurance renewal time rolled around again. I had been using Dairyland which was charging me about $350 annually for a full coverage policy with 100/300/50 liability limits, and $500 deductible. Being a AARP member, for the heck of it I decided to check to see what they'd charge. (AARP...

    Considering a KTM 450EXC

    I'm considering the purchase of a KTM 450EXC with the street legal light kit, or some other bike along these lines. Mostly planning to do some high performance trail riding (not racing). I like the idea of having it street legal for short street runs to trail riding sites. I'd be interested...

    Anyone own a KTM 450EXC?

    I'm starting a search for a 450cc (approx) sized dual purpose trail bike with street capability. I've grown interested in the KTM 450EXC, or something along those lines. Plan to do mostly trail riding with it (no racing), and with some occasional street use. Anyone own a 450EXC, or...

    Busa and a FJR?

    A 60 or 70% Scale FJR?

    I'm 6' and 200+ lbs so I have no problem fitting on most bikes out there. But there's a lot shorter people out there, including my wife, that have a difficult time finding a decent bike that fits them. My wife and I used to ride years ago, but for numerous reasons we got away from riding...

    Givi E52 Box Install

    I just finished up installing a Givi E52 top box on my '07. Looks good, works good. I'm happy except for the optional passenger backrest pad. I'm not sure why, but it's sort of shaped like a wedge, and the point of the wedge is pretty uncomfortable for my passenger. I end up not installing...

    Hyperlight connections...

    After two years I had my '05 FJR farkled to the point where I could barely see the original bike. Well, it wasn't quite that bad, but when I recently upgraded to my '07 I decided to forgo the big farkle list and only add what I consider to be the bare essential farkles; a fenda extenda, a...

    Upgraded to an '07

    I owned an '05/ABS model up until last week when I ran across an '07A model at a dealership. I was surprised to see a FJR in the showroom, much less a new one. Then I learned Yamaha did away with the ordering process. I guess I've been out of the loop for awhile. (I waited several weeks for...
