    2012 FJR1300 information released

    Fred w asked why I felt like pitching the 05 fjr. The main reason was heat. My bike had a little more than 50k on it. Not huge miles by standards set by others here on the forum. I have to admit that my one and only child @ 5 1/2 years old has kept my wife off the back and me off the road more...

    2012 FJR1300 information released

    When I was contemplating replacing my 05 fjr I must admit that I was a little nervous about what the future might hold regarding the 12 fjr. Went ahead and pulled the trigger anyway back in august on a new Kawasaki C-14. Now that I see this I am a little relieved that yamaha didnt set me on my...

    Havoline Dex-Cool?

    Nobody wants to here it but check out the Toyota red fluid. for aluminum engines, no silicates, borates etc etc blah blah blah. Good stuff though. Available, where else, at a Toyota dealer.

    Installing the Magnum Blaster Horns

    You really need to put a relay in. The blasters draw more amps than the stock horns and could fry the horn switch. There was someone on here that made a plug-n-play wiring harness for this exact problem. I know that murphskits.com has one.

    Unplanned Get Off

    The insurance co is going to add the repair cost if its even repairable at all and then factor in the salvage value. My guess is your getting a check and not a trip to the repair shop. Plus you should want it totalled because ask yourself if you want to ride around on a 145 hp two wheeled...

    thats a good reason why I would not throw down pdp cash on a bike such as the late delivery Super-10. With so many Yamaha dealers in trouble you might not get your new bike or the cash back. Since dealers are seperate businesses from mama yamaha,when they go tango-uniform your S.O.L. . they are...
