Hi Guys,,I have 126k on my fjr shock and was wandering what is a good replacement shock for the stock one,,thanx,,Gary

i replaced the camchain tensioner with an ape manual tensioner without pulling the timing cover,,if u dont turn the engine over while the tensioner is out it wont jump teeth,,when u bulid the motor n set the timing n u dont have a tensioner in there n it dont jump teeth,,the bike runs much...

howie i built my motor and if i remember right that pin goes into both case and timing cover if it comes out u can slide it back into the engine case to hold the tensioner shoe,,whats this new oem camchain tensioner about???,,it just started doing it,,so i think i will get the manual tensioner...

Radiohowie are you there,,lol,,anyway guys I have an 06 fjr that I replaced the motor at 81000, the new motor has 32000 miles, I am getting the camchain noise from this motor, I read somewhere that they make a manual camchain tensioner,,my question is?? is it hard to adjust and how offen do your...

TRY THIS FIRST,,,, take the linkage apart,,the shifter off n clean n grease all pivot points,,,this is probably your problem,,it wont return all the way to ratchet,if it is the shifter ratchet ,,u can remove the clutch, n shift mechanism without removing the engine or splitting the cases,,u have...

thanx ion,,i changed the tps n it seems to run good no check engine light,,i set it with a multitester,,i think it is going to be ok,,

i have an 06 fjr,, i am having #14 code show up,,so i replaced the air intake sensor,,i erased the 14 with #62,,but now the 14 is back,,this problem is intermittent,,after the bike gets heat soaked it runs n idles fine,,i got a new tps i am going to install,,it acts like the cold start...

hi howie,,i got back on here,,i had a my cam chain noise at about 65k n replaced the tentioner n chain on my 06,,,,happy holidays

hi carl,,i think i have the same problem,,i ordered the tps and the intake air pressure sensor

that was mild,,,what if the pieces of sleeeve got up between the piston n head,,it might have locked up,,punched a hole in the piston bent the valves,,n even could have bent the rod n spun a bearing,n threw a rod right threw the case,,like a 1957 triumph T-110

it didnt go through to the water jacket,,it is just the sleeve that is broken off,,the piston is real thin at the wrist pin area,,when the pieces broke off the sleeve the piston drug them down to the crankcase not damaging the piston the way u think it would,,the ring lands r all there n the...

the rings r cherry,,those r pieces of cylinder sleeve that forced there way past the piston n went into the crankcase,,,my dealer is trying to see if yamaha will cover it,,he has never seen anything like it,,,

let me try to clear this up a little,,i have holeshot pipes p/c 3 n airbox mod,,had it dyno tuned again on the 17th of october,,it made 129 h.p. 85ft lbs of torque,,raced the 08 on the 21st of october n beat it,,went to the track on the 26th of october n fucked it up,,this was my baby i broke...

i am replacing my 06 motor with another 06 motor,,my question is can i tell by the vin number if this 06 had a trans upgrade,,or did they not upgrade the trans untill 07,or 08,,i am planning on taking all the gears out of my 06 n putting them in the new motor,,does anyone know what year they did...

thanx guys ,,but it is shot,,# 1 had 15lbs compression,,pulled the head and the valves r cherry,,big groove in #1 cylinder 1/4 inch wide,,case is cracked right there,,,so i am getting a 2006 motor off ebay,,n putting my upgraded trans gears in the new motor, the new motor has 9971 miles on...
