[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 574626, member: 3828"] Wow, are you serious or just a troll? The fact that you felt that YOU felt that you needed bar backs and grip puppies is not a design problem with the FJR problem. It's a problem with YOU fitting it. You have to expect to make some minor ergo modifications on just about any bike to customize it to your unique body shape. And I'm not sure what your malfunction is that you can't change a light bulb. You say the wires are too short. Too short for what? I guarantee you can reach into the tail section and change the bulbs. It may not be convenient, but it can definitely be done. I can see where some other people might want to have an auto retract to pull the shield down automatically when parked. But the screen retract feature is not my cup of tea either, so I took 10 minutes and pulled the jumper off. To my thinking, Yamaha design engineers outdid themselves by providing a disable jumper. That added (something) to their cost of manufacturing the bike that is purely a convenience. Don't know what your problem with the YCCS module was, or even if there actually was one. Sometimes stuff happens during manufacture of an item as complex as a motorcycle. That is one big reason they have warranties. But to label a bike as "piss poor" based on the ticky tack, bullshit crap you listed out makes me think that you should have stuck to the BMWs. [/QUOTE]
