Depends on the engine, I guess. Whatever they choose, I don't think it will be an in-line four. Obviously all idle speculation - I'm not holding my breath that Yamaha will come up with anything new in this genre anytime in the near future. They are currently listing the Tracer 9 GT+ on their...

There are left hand braking solutions out there for (mostly) dirt bikes, but I haven't heard of anything that would work on an FJR.

The FJR has a bleak future based upon international emissions regulations. I think it is only available in North America, and for how long? Possibly other markets, but certainly not what is needed to sustain it long term. The Super Ténéré is pretty much in the same boat with respect to...

Gen I uses the GIVI SR346 rack. (SR357 is for all Gen II +)

I would like to think it will be back as a revamped Gen V, but I think you will see at best a different color.

Sorry, I missed that. I wasn't aware of the approx 2:1 ratio, although I expect it isn't absolutely linear. As mentioned, shock settings can make a significant difference too.

Get it load tested. Might be a bad one. If it was just dropping to a low voltage (i.e. 9V or so), I might suggest looking at the starter solenoid and starter motor. Zero volts suggests essentially open although it might show 12+V as long as there is no draw. Of course, you need to make sure...

But the geometry is such that a specific change in dogbone length doesn't translate into an identical change in ride height. In fact, increasing the dogbone length LOWERS the bike.

Silencers = Mufflers (at least in this context) OEM have the connecting pipes as part of the muffler. Some aftermarket solutions have a more generic muffler along with a bike-specific connecting pipe as a separate piece. Decibel killers (inserts into aftermarket mufflers) are added to quiet...

I still have to get down to your area at some point. I was in New England (ME and NH) just once this year and once last year. Never made it as far as VT in these trips.

I find my heated grips are sufficient to keep hands more comfortable with modest temperatures (or wet). Heated waterproof gloves are the gold standard for comfort! I have a pair that I rarely use but they make a big difference keeping fingers warm to the tips as well as the backs of the hands...

You are replying to a thread that is three years old written by someone who hasn't logged into this forum for two years! (Yes, Pirateship.com is a lower cost alternative for domestic shipping in the US)

Come on now! At least use a couple of wraps of duct tape to protect the wheels. Anybody knows that much!

You can't get a finger behind it to push the pin out? Anyway, it probably isn't going anywhere but if you really want to get it out and can't access from behind, heat up a straight pin or piece of fairly thin stainless wire using a butane lighter and stick the hot wire into the top of the pin...

Battery and starter is definitely what I would have suggested first. Did this change come suddenly? Frustrating... Load test battery and then check starting amperes with a clamp-on DC Ammeter. Hope you figure it out (or sell to someone with more patience). Have you had compression checked?

Any more of a jackass comment than your statement, below? I would hardly call a collection of manufacturer's recommendations laughable. As for engine oil, I would change based upon mileage and not worry about going well over the 4,000 mile recommendation if I accrued those miles over the...

You obviously know far more than Yamaha engineers... From the owners manual (2011)

Generally, the GIVI SR357 rack is favored as offering the best topbox support without undue stress to the subframe.

Is that a "no crank" or crank without catching? You may have given up on it but I'm sure a prospective buyer would want to know details. Good luck with the sale.
