Thanks to those who replied. I have checked the battery and it is good. There is just no power of any kind getting through. Zero response. I will follow up with the other suggestions and hopefully I can fix this thing myself. I don't even want to think about how much Yamaha would charge to...

Well, I guess I get to join those of you who have ignition problems with gen II FJRs. Today was the second time in about a year that I attempted to start my 2010 FJR and got zero response when I turned the key. The first time it happened I giggled, slapped, and cussed until the bike finally...

Anyone try the X-creen to reduce helmet buffeting? It looks pretty good on Youtube but I would like to hear from those who have it.

Thanks to those who responded. I get it. Stick with tried and true.

It is almost time for new tires for my 2010 FJR. I've been watching YouTube on using beads to balance the wheels and tires. Anyone have an opinion on this?

Okay, I've just spent a hour or so looking back to see if anyone has reported on using Kisan Signal Minder. I was recently embarrassed by a Harley rider that my blinker had been going for several blocks and his bike had self canceling turn signals. Does the Kisan Signal Minder work okay on...

Day before yesterday I saw two FJRs and a Victory headed NB through Newport, Oregon. I wonder where they were headed.

Thanks to all who replied. I ordered a tube of Sil Glyde and it came today. The problem has been improved but I think I may be taking her apart when the temperature starts to drop again. Until then she will have to remind me of Inewlf's chatty wife.

I picked up my new (to me) 2010 FJR a few weeks ago. It had 8800 miles on it then. I think I got a good deal but there is one problem I hope someone can help me with. The windshield chatters when going up or down. I'm not real mechanical minded so I really don't want to start taking things...

I was going to put my two cents in on this topic but I think it is covered pretty good. I crashed my 09 FJR on March 30th but with no injury to me. I was lucky but the bike was toast. I have had my (new to me) 2010 FJR for about a week now and I'm starting to feel right again. I have a 90...

I'm looking to buy a pair of riding pants that offer protection and versatility but my hefty girth seems to put me in the "sorry you are too fat for these pants" category. I wear 44 Levis or 46 Dockers. To make things worse my inseam is 30" I've checked out several online sites and found...

Well I am happy to see that I'm not the only goof in the bunch. I dropped my black beauty (FJR) last week when I tried to park on a uphill grade. The bike would not lean enough where I parked and as I was getting off it started to lean the other way. There was no stopping it and down it went...

Wow, did that bring back memories. I saw almost the exact same thing in Viet Nam back in 1969. That pilot was resupplying my platoonf much need C-rats and ammo.
