Does the RDL also allow you to change from a High to Low setting like the stock seat does? I have a 2014 ES, and while I am tall at a little over 6-1, i have a short inseam at about 32" and I really like the height of the stock seat at the LOW setting. I can still flat foot at High, but just...

Yes there is a little bit of play in them that I noticed on my 2014 ES. Madmatt

I paid $15,200 here in Cincinnati for my 0 miles, fresh from the box 2014 FJR1300ES. I bought local even though I had a price nearly 800 cheaper up in Wisconsin. Because they were local, I could trade in a old little Honda Rebel I had which then also saved me a few more bucks (another grand, so...

I've had a 2014 ES since last Tuesday. So far I love it and sadly haven't put a single mile on my Roadliner S since the FJR rolled into my garage. It's a whole different type of ride than a cruiser, not necessarily better or worse, just different. I think they actually compliment each other...

I too have a new ES and have been having lots of fun playing with all the settings. I do wish that they would provide some weight guidelines though on which of the 4 Preload settings is the most applicable based on total load. For example, at my 270 pounds should I still use the Solo setting, or...

Hate to ask such an obvious question but the 2014 ES Yamaha manual only advises to ask dealer to make this adjustment. So, what do I need to do in order to make this adjustment myself? Thanks! Madmatt

Good catch! Done! Madmatt

Wow! What can I say that you guys don't already know? I am in awe of this bike. I have been a cruiser guy for a while now and very active on a lot of forums catering to the Yamaha Road and Stratoliner bikes and after hearing someone talk about how nice a FJR was, i had to see for myself. Took...

That does make me feel a bit better. They do have the absolute lowest prices of A's and ES's that I was able to find and I looked in just about every state within 1000 miles of Ohio. It's been a week since I called them so not even sure if they have an ES still in stock. I would most likely do a...

I've spoken to the salesguy at Don and Roy's and gotten the details. On top of the $13,999 price they add a 400 dollar freight and prep change and a 49 dollar doc fee. Price before tax is: $14,488.00 That is to date the lowest price I have found in all of the US for a FJR and I have contacted...
