    Ignition Switch on Backorder

    Yes they should. If mine goes out on me and I have to go for several weeks without a fix thats gonna be brutal...Surely the dealers can do some research and hunt the part down for you through other yamaha dealers that may be overstocked?

    Anybody a 4-wheel drive expert???

    A friend of mine has a set of wheels and tires for sale. I think the wheels are 15" The tires are 33 x 12.50. Reasonably priced at $600.00 I am wondering if they will rub in the front without "lifting" the truck.

    06 Metzler Tires

    They're there, keep looking :lol: . They are hard to see when there's a lot of tread left on the tire. +1 Look for the letters (TWI) near the sidewall then start looking toward the center of the tire. Piece of cake.

    Audio Connectors to a Starcom

    I installed my starcom under the seat about 8 months ago. I have a blue tooth module and an mp3 plugged in it. After I installed it I got pretty rough with the connectors (yanking, pulling, twisting) to see if I could get some static. And Nothing. All connections are tight after 4200 miles...

    Helmet face shield cleaning

    If it is real bad mine goes in the kitchen sing with a squirt of diswashing liquid. Then a shot of plexus to polish it.

    Who Commutes on the FJR Daily?

    I'm a firefighter so I work the 24 on 48 off schedule. I've got about a 65 mile trip to work but it is only about 3 times a week. Bought the bike on May 31 and have about 3500 miles on it. Don't like to ride in the rain, but I can handle the cool mornings (so far).

    Uncaged: Did the bmw rider know that there was fish involved? Maybe this was the reason for his poor performance! :D

    Heated riding gear

    I ride to work most mornings on my new FJR. It's about 1.5 hour commute. I am thinking of buying a heated riding suit for this winter. Does anybody have one that they suggest.

    Better Sound Report

    I just bought the starcom 1 advance from Jeff (sportbikeeffects.com) and I am very pleased with the sound quality through my mp3 player. I am using etymotic er6i earbuds. You can't tell its playing through an intercom at all. I think your proabably right in that the autocom is the weak link.
