Took me a while to figure this out from scanning threads, so I thought I'd paste it in one place. The FJR (at least the 08) has what looks like a mirror mounting hole on the clutch level assembly. Its plugged with a pop out (not threaded) black rubber lid. RAM sells a ball that screws right...

As a bunch of us from us from up in Seattle were zipping south on Rt 53 in oregon, some FJR rider was on the side of the road taking pictures. The first group of 4 of us went by (Triumph Tiger, Red VFR, black Honda 919, and then me on my black FJR) and I am pretty sure you took pictures of us...

My stock windshield keeps the true wind off of me just fine, but I get too much turbulance buffeting my helmet with the associated noise. On my prior FJR I put the Yamaha larger windshield on, and it didn't help much, plus it was ugly. I have noticed windshields on other bikes (for example...

While I find it a bit of a nusiance that the windshield retracts, I can live with it --- but if there is evidence that the motor, sensors, etc wear out because of this, I might dig in there and disconnect that pesky thing. I have an 08. Any data out there? thanks

I started in to to the throttle return spring mod using Rickster's great post https://www.fjrforum.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=18322&hl= and despite his perfectly clear instructions, and while pulling hard to the aft, when one side of the plastic tank cover came off, the tab broke. Maybe it...

So a few years ago, I traded my Yamaha cruiser (Royal Star) for an 07 FJR1300 to be ready for a May 08, 3751 mile ride with my Ducati friends (Seattle to Grand Canyon, etc https://sites.google.com/site/dadfriedrich/springrideiii ) and as a nice long distance compliment to my Ducati Monster...

I have read lots of opinons about what the adjustable fairing on the 06/07 does, thought a voting pole would be interesting. Kurt

Got a brand new Yamaha Touring windshield, and it comes with a stupid warning label that seems to be impossible to get off. Anyone cracked the code? (I did a seach for touring windshield sticker and got 1000+ hits, the first pages of which had nothing to do with it.) thanks

Ok, this farkle is a functional improvement to my FJR, not just a pretty face (but remember, I am the one that put a compass on my FJR) Take a guess as what its function is. https://dadfriedrich.googlepages.com/Stan.JPG

My stock short one has an area at the base that is covered with a thin black foam, like a gasket. The new one has none. I don't think the foam will come off the old one to move over to the new one. Am I supposed to have gotten this piece and applied it, or was the foam supposed to have stayed...

I started a poll over in the admin part of this forum, but it affects how the technical parts of the forum work, so maybe you'd like to vote? https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php?showtopic=27049

Has anyone down that route on the east side of Rainer lately? thanks

https://dadfriedrich.googlepages.com/compass1.JPG https://dadfriedrich.googlepages.com/compass2.JPG :victory: https://tinyurl.com/3dzoat It has a N/S and E/W adjustment to compensate for interference from the bike, but crap, I just need it to be within 20 deg. Kurt

So the one little sentence in the directions just blows me away "Roll back the grip 1 inch on the throttle tube". HTF do you do that? I can't get mine to roll back 1/16 of an inch. I have rolled back about 1 inch of skin on my fingers trying. Did anyone hear ever install Throttlemeister with...

So I have 650 miles on this 07, and the left side of my rear wheel has greesy crud around the inside of the rim, just about like a bike with a chain would have. Is this normal for a new bike?

anyone have a high quality, small, simple compass on their FJR? I have a GPS that I might drag along for a week trip, but for normal day trips, I'd like a simple compass. thanks NFNG Kurt

I wanted to save my cig lighter plug on the 07 for a GPS, and use the BatteryTender line for a heated vest too. Therefore, I needed the connector to come out someplace useful. So I attached the line to the battery, removed the battery holddown, run the line under it (between the right side of...

I like this forms use of GUNNY! - "Our equivalent to the response "+1" or "Me Too" I'd like to propose a new term TUP Totally Useless Post. The forum is full of good people and info, but there sure are a lot of wasted, useless posts thrown in by people that are either bored, or incredibly...

Over in the technical forum, a few folks have posted that they reduced the tension on their throttle to make it easier on the wrist/elbow. However it seems only 3 people have posted they did it. Before I do mine, I was hoping to hear that more people did it. If you did, please reply with your...
