I should have mentioned I already looked at manuals online. I guess I missed where the number of clicks could vary. Honestly didn't read it that closely but doubled seems like a large amount.

I did that but Yamaha is known for using some info from past years and not correcting it when needed. I figured this might be one of those times. I figured someone with that year bike may have firsthand knowledge about the subject and know for sure. The 2015 shock I installed looks and feels ok...

Just replaced my rear shock on my '08 with an OEM from a 2015. The new one has about 40 clicks on the adjuster. Is that how it's supposed to be? My 2008 only had about 20.

Another thing I would mention is adding a backrest or a trunk for her to lean against. They don't want to feel like they could fall off.

Even though it wasn't what I wanted to do, I would take her for very short rides at first. Asking her where she would like to go. Maybe suggesting a local park of for icecream or something similar. She eventually started going. I took it real easy with her at first. We have built a trust and she...

When my wife started riding with me again after a fifteen year absence from the bike, we started with short rides, 1/2 - 1 hr. Then worked up to longer rides. The very first all day ride I took her on, she wasn't ready. I under exaggerated the length of the ride. She wasn't happy at all!! That...

Does she ride with you already?

I realize I'm not that tall at 5'10" but I am surprised that a driver backrest would be helpful. I have the bars back about as far as they will go without extending some lines or cables and my back would probably barely touch a backrest if at all. This bike is a sport touring bike not a cruiser...

I have had both the mirror extenders and the FZ mirrors. The FZ are by far the better choice! I know people say the FZ mirrors don't look as good, and I thought the same thing but once you see the difference you won't care about the looks. Honestly, after having them for a couple years, I like...

<br /> I bought a Yamaha Touring windshield. However, the wind noise is still excessive. I am used to riding a Yamaha Venture, which provides great wind protection. I love my FJR, but I need more wind protection so I can talk to my buddy using our Sena communicators while we are riding...

Sold

I have Helibars triple clamp HRT076 the original model that moves the bars 1 1/2" closer to the rider. Embarrassingly this is the second time I accidentally bought this thinking it was the one that raised the bars also. Maybe that will teach me to be more observant. The guy I bought this from...

That's a good price. Would buy it if I didn't already have that exact one. Use it all the time and love it.
