    Wire Fire

    I'm not the original owner and I vaguely remember there was a recall on 08's (2nd gen) and the original owner said the recall was done.  I assume this is the recall that is being referenced.

    Wire Fire

    I didn't know there was a recall.  The Yamaha dealer wouldn't be aware of it?

    Wire Fire

    Was riding my 08 FJR down the highway and all of a sudden there was smoke and a small fire I could see down through the "steering column hole" on my front left side.  Immediately pulled over and turned off the engine and the fire went out.  Drove it cautiously back home (1 hour) with no other...

    Trusting a Mechanic After a Mistake

    Thanks you all for the feedback.  Made me think about what my move was going to be.   I hear people who wouldn't trust him after that, but I went with having him do the work replacing the parts that were damaged.  He said he wanted to make it right and has a reputation and a business to...

    Trusting a Mechanic After a Mistake

    Just thought I would post this and see what people thought. I recently had a rear flat and had my local motorcycle tire shop (strictly a tire shop), replace my rear tire.  Drove around on it for a week and had a separate issue crop up that I had to bring the Yamaha dealership to look at.  While...

    FJR & Camping

    Haven't taken the FJR camping yet but was wondering how/if others do that with their's?  My concern is some of the places I like to go have hard pack dirt roads and I'm a little leery of doing that with the FJR....crash cages would be a must...

    ECU Unit

    Thanks for the reply!    Everything works on my dash except for the clock and my trip odometer.  Speedo works, odometer works, temp works, fuel gauge works.

    ECU Unit

    Thanks for all the feedback.  Sorry I haven't checked back with this thread in awhile.  I've been out riding!  That could be the issue....maybe the mechanic at the Yamaha dealership wasn't too thorough...?   Anyway, the auto retract was disabled when I bought the bike.  After my accident, the...

    ECU Unit

    Hey G, No other issues.  Just replaced the headlights and front plastics. I found a few used ones on eBay for around $150-200.

    ECU Unit

    I have an 08 FJR and the neutral light has been staying on after everything is shut off and the key is out (most likely due to an accident I had ).  The Yamaha dealership said the ECU unit is burned out and that is the issue.  He recommended taking the backup fuse out which will fix the issue...

    Headlight Issue

    Sorry, it was the left-front side of the bike that got smashed so probably didn't mess up the relay (if its on the battery side). I'll try cleaning the fuse prongs. 👍

    Headlight Issue

    Yep.  Started it up multiple times and unplugged and replugged lights and had no luck with headlights coming on.

    Headlight Issue

    That's my next move.  Just thought I'd ask first to see if I am missing something other than that...

    Headlight Issue

    I am in the process of replacing my whole front end on my 08 (hit a deer).  The right headlight housing was smashed up, so I found a used 08 headlight housing to replace it.  pulled the old headlight housing off yesterday and then plugged the used one in and the lights do not work.  Am I missing...
