    New from Washington State

    I ride with the Touring screen in top position 90% of the time - offers great wind protection. On the few very hot days I simply lower the screen and I get loads of wind in my face

    New from Washington State

    Welcome from another Seattle rider! I changed the OEM windscreen to a Yamaha Touring screen after a few days. The stock screen is truly minimal...I also added the Yamaha Touring seat and feel it's much better on the longer rides (4+ hours)

    can anyone identify this bushing?

    Maybe your new shock had this already? I find it hard to believe that you could install it properly without this bushing in place...you would surely notice I think

    Mileage

    Most people report 1.5 gal left when it starts flashing and the count-up starts. That equals around 60 miles for most people. I consistently take it 40 miles past flashing without issues, and often add 6 gal. This has really nothing to do with how far I go on a full tank, as some tanks are spent...

    Brother's done riding, need FMV for his bike

    So sorry to hear about your brother. I went through a similar situation with my brother 5 years ago - except there was no motorcycle involved. It makes you realize how fragile life is and to treasure every ride you take.

    Hi

    Welcome, and congrats with your FJR! I started my motorized career with a Yamaha FS1 (50cc), which was replaced by a Yamaha XJ900. After two Hondas I am now back with Yamaha.

    Blue Angels again!!!!! Penscola Beach summer show!

    Great pics! I am happy I will be out of town when Blue Angels visit Seattle this year. They are so noisy and annoying (my house is right where the action is) - have really enjoyed the two year COVID break...oh well.

    Why online motorcycle forums (fora?) are dying, so claims this article

    Hmmm...I visit two FJR forums and an ST forum daily. I find this a nice break from work and Facebook :). I have not noticed a decrease in activity, but haven't tracked this scientifically. I find loads of good info on these forums, and think they will remain for a while...

    TOP Box Replacement Recommendations

    How was your box mounted? I have a 50L OEM box mounted on the recommended OEM aluminum rack. I can't see how that could ever come off during a ride. Maybe with the plastic OEM rack?

    Gen IV Rear Shock Leaking

    Sorry to hear this. I have the same model as you, so I'm now worried :). Best of luck.

    Posting Photos - New Forum software (since late 2021)

    Great news. I had given up posting pics in the past, as it was just a hassle. Now I plan to post picture of my upcoming Eastern WA trip!
