Here is the issue and the smell is not hurting your bike whatsoever.

Since I couldn't find a way to add pics to this topic, I made a short Youtube video on this plate with the rubber ribbed backing so you all could see exactly where it is on your bike...providing the engine is the same gen as I am not sure when this plate was added...

I may have found the issue of this "burnt rubber" type of smell from some FJR owners...like me. I do not know all the engine designs but mine has a plate (that is all Yamaha calls it) with rubber slots that sits on top of the engine just below the air box and adjacent to the top of the clutch...

I purchased a 23 inch Cee Bailey windshield to replace the OEM windshield on the bike. I too am 5'11" and here is what I can tell you from experience. I love the shield is one thing and the second is on the highway with the shield fully up you (and you sitting spine up) you will still get...

I had my front shocks overhauled and now the spring adjusting bolts will not match up with each other. I have the left shock showing 2.5 lines and the right side showing 4 lines up. When I try to take the right side down to 2.5 to equal the left it stops after 1.5 rotations in. Before I had...

Fred, thank s and that sounds like a plan of action plus some money saved.

Does anyone use lift stands for the front and rear of your bike? If so, which one will work with a 2014 FJR? I am looking at the Venom sports bike motorcycle front fork and rear paddle combo wheel lift stands. I feel the front will hook under the forks, but I am not sure if the rear will...

What are the best engine protection guards I can put on a 2014 FJR and where may I purchase them? I can't seem to find any over the internet that seems to be super all-around protective of the fairing as well as the engine.

Thank you for all the advice! I think it best to stay away from the lowering issue for now and maybe work on the seat possibly, but it is more the width of the bike than the height that gets me. The width takes up my stride not the height, so getting a lower seat may not be an option either...

Thanks again for all the input! The FJR was recently purchased with 16500 miles and I had the oil and coolant changed within 5 days. The bike is extremely clean and since I also had an extended warranty til 2020 with the bike it needed to go thru a Yamaha inspection. I told the tech what it...

(I made this post on the wrong forum so I am re-posting...I hope...to the correct forum) I have a 2014 FJR and when riding or just starting it up and letting it idle a bit I will smell a faint odor like a burnt smell...hot engine or rubber type of smell on the right side around the clutch and...

If you lower a 2014 FJR with LL69-13 T-Rex 2013-2015 Yamaha FJR1300/A Lowering Links by 1 inch then 1: what else do you need to do to the suspension and 2: what effect will this have on the bike for taking fast corners (not knee to road type)?
