    Flat Blue Paint - How is it holding up?

    Hello, Looking at 2016 and 2018. Wondering how the flat blue on 2018 FJR is holding up for you. Does it get "sort of" shiny where your hands and clothing rub? Does it have issues with water spots after washing? What happens if you wax the bike? You get the idea. Thanks in advance for replying. -DL

    New recall?

    On the other forum, a user posted a picture of his Canadian recall notice dated "November 2021". I can't read the recall number. But it is a re-flash of the ECU. The letter says: "However, this rev-limiter programming may be overly restrictive, possibly preventing the acceleration performance...

    FJRF013 - Transmission Recall for Second Gear (DE, UK, CA, & US) (2016-2020)

    A thought. If the dealer does not have the parts, the bike probably has not been disassembled. Why not just go pick it up? Ride the rest of the season and have the tranny done over the winter.

    2022 FJR?

    Somebody here probablly knows. You would think that with all the FJR people on this forum, FJROwners and IBR, SOMEBODY would be a Yamaha employee or have an inside track into what Yamaha will do in 2022. The decision for the 2022 model year had to have been made a long time ago for sub...

    2022 FJR?

    Didn't BMW achieve the emission requirements by going to variable valve timing in the R1250 series by using the existing engine and modifying the heads?  Couldn't Yamaha do the same?

    Acquiring Boxed FJR in the PNW?

    A long long time ago, when I was into small block chevy engines, there was a never ending debate about breaking in an engine. Some said run it full out, others said take it easy for a few hundred miles. What seem to make the most sense to me was to run it with light loads and after an hour or...

    Any Info on buying below MSRP?

    I did a quick Google, no web site, but found another dealer in Cully whose site mentions D&H as having been renamed. The new named D&H looks like it is a Kawasaki dealer, but I did not see that they were a Yamaha dealer.

    FJRF013 - Transmission Recall for Second Gear (DE, UK, CA, & US) (2016-2020)

    A little snippy, Ignacio. Some dealers are not doing well. The Yamaha dealer I bought my last FJR from has gone out of business. When a small business is squeezed, short cuts are found.
