Take everything into consideration and buy the newest one you want/can, you'll thank me later. A well taken care of FJR of any year is good bike. Newer ones are better equipped but my '07 will run a long time yet. Helluva bike for not a lot of money.

Short trips......Keeps mileage down.  Admittedly, this intrigues me. Twins in my garage?

FYI, I-70 is also closed in downtown Indianapolis. The official detour is I-465 around the south side. Maybe 5-10 minutes longer if that is permissible.

That sounds like a good arrangement. One question. At minimum power is there enough light available to see well enough to continue on? Or at least give you enough time to crank up the power? I think I have settled on the Clearwaters. And the high beam setup would be great. First part of my...

Good reason to have them separate. Even using the light circuit with a relay would cause them to go out simultaneously. While I have not installed auxiliary lights yet, they will be separate. Thanks for bringing that up.

I actually just went through that thread after doing a "spider bite" search. Very good article. (Stole your pics by the way) I actually had a power wire pulled from battery that caused my issue, but with the assistance of the information I have discovered (Thank you!) I am going over the whole...

Although I don't have these issues I believe it would be a good idea to check them out. My comment about the turn signals was because they are smaller and not as easily seen as my other bikes. Thanks for the input!

RossKean, that is one of the thoughts going through my mind at the time. That's why I noticed the turn signals flashing fast. They are not the easiest to see with a bright sun shining on them. They are not really dim, just could be brighter.

I doubt Yamaha would be willing to do that. A warranty claim might get kinda touchy if the bike was not set up by a Yamaha mechanic. I would not be overly concerned with break in. Just make sure that first oil change is timely. Sooner or later you'll need to pass in a hurry. Break in is now...

Upon arriving home one day last week I took a shortcut through the yard because a visitor was blocking the approach to my garage door. At the driveway/yard transition I hit an unseen rut. Due to the fact the yard is sloped there and my leg was about 12 inches too short to catch it, down we went...

My wife names every vehicle. Challenger is Chally, flatbed truck is Woody (firewood) Bobcat is Kitty, Case skid loader is Casey, '86 Venture Royale is Brownie and she calls FEEJ (its real name) Cherry Berry because of the color. (2007) For some reason she don't like it when I call the mini van...

May not be fully charged yet. Higher amperage at a lower voltage until fully charged. Put an hours worth of riding on it and recheck.

Yup, tell him the canoe capsized. 😀

Damn, that's a good looking bike!

That makes sense. When this happens, Warning chime, display shows tire pressure individually for all 4. One at a time the number value will go to .... until all 4 read that. After indeterminate time they come back one at a time. Just wondered if anyone else had an issue like this with their...

I appreciate your reply. And thats probably as close as I'm going to get with that question. I do know personally that a citizens band radio with an amplifier will bleed over into older cell phones TV's and car radios. I dont drive the Jeep unless snow is forecasted but I'll keep an eye out and...

I have noticed at times while driving my 2008  Jeep that when in close proximity to a semi truck, my TPM system goes out. It eventually comes back after distancing myself from trucks. This has happened several times. Only while interstate driving. My 2015 Challenger never does that. I'm guessing...

While I have never ridden an IBR, as a potential rookie here is my take on that. All riders are provided the same information. It would be up to the rider to maximize his ride. Riders make choices. I would think it would be prudent to maximize points ASAP given the fact that you have no idea...

Looking at the final placing I see that Michael Boge is listed as DNF. Was it because of penalty window closing or not enough points/miles? Also what determines gold, silver and bronze?

Is that the ECM hanging?
