    South Lake Tahoe Hotels/Motels

    I was there in July and enjoyed the Stardust. For a reasonable price it put me right in the thick of the casinos. Small efficient rooms and very well kept.

    Planning a trip to Arkansas....help wanted

    I think that the prettiest town in Arkansas is Eureka Springs. It's the upper Northwest corner. I'd make my base there.

    Highway to the Sun

    I did it in early July. From East to West. As far as the constructions delays. It didn't bother me where I stopped on that road or for how long..it was beautiful and a joy to be there. The stops just gave me an additional chance to walk about and take pics. In july...going towards Great Falls...

    I need help badly.

    Gentlemen Your help on this forum is awesome. Thank you. I'm gonna try to digest this info and then take it to Yamaha. You all are great. Marty Checkswrecks My house is about 40 miles from salt water as the crow flies. I put about 6000 miles on the recall switch before I had this failure...

    Ok Fellas, I have come to an agreement with Yamaha. I picked up the bike today with it's fifth (5th) ignition installed by the dealer. This is the second recall ignition. The FJR has 25,658 miles as it sits in my garage. I sent my dealer and customer support the following email: Tim and...

    It happened to me too.

    I sent the following letter to Yamaha last week after they called and said my bike was ready to pick up. I have not gotten a response yet. I do not know what is wrong with the bike and have no skills as a mechanic. I only have a personal conceptual theory or hunch which I presented to them for...

    Thanks Brodie. I've had it go dead twice in motion. Fortunately on side streets. Had it been the centerlane of a heavily travelled freeway, it could have been the same result as an incurabale disease.

    No mods. I bought the bike and have put 25k on it with no changes.

    I need help badly.

    What I did that many of yall may not have is take the FJR with new ignition immediately from Houston to Northern Montana. 5451 miles in the first two weeks of July which accellerated the failure process. It seems to take the ignitions about 6000 miles to go bad in my case. I don't know how to...
