    2025 FJR Speculation

    You're 100% right about the announcement month. It's been November for the past five years....usually the last half of the month. But the model hasn't changed significantly since 2016 and since Yamaha has long announced the retirement of the FJR the concensus has been they're selling out...

    Parts Wanted RDL - Let's Not Laugh - Gen 2 or 3

    We're not going to turn a thread or this forum into a workshop for scammers to find ways to route around measures forums take to reduce their infiltration. Please take it down a notch dafish. The aggressive tone isn't helpful. Closing thread. If anybody wants to sell their RDL, please can...

    FAKE 2025 FJR Video

    They've stacked a ton of various 2025 announcements in their channel with liberal stock video, marginal narration scripts, and usually a single not-horrible doctored image and panning trick to enhance the video effect. That one image is creative at least. And they got you to watch and drive...

    Aux power fuse

    So, you're potentially falling in the same trap as the previous owner. Do you know what wire Yamaha sized for that 3 amp fuse? Will the wire degrade if it flows...say....9 amp over time? Why did Yamaha engineers choose 3 amps and not 10? It's your bike, but if it were mine I'd put a 3 amp...

    Aux power fuse

    There is! I haven't blown it myself, but many have and it's been talked about many, many times. Usually when somebody plugs in an inflator or high-draw items. Found a reference for you with the Search function. HotRodZilla knows his technical stuff...

    ISO Brodie's harness or equivalent gen 2 fix

    Try sending Brodie a personal message. There's a mail icon near the upper right called "Conversations".

    Parts Wanted Passenger Backrest Wanted

    Thanks for two separate reports on a person....that's now no longer here. They weren't a bot, but a scammer of some sort after a couple minutes of verification. The forum software tries to catch them before they get in, but sometimes they make it through. Thanks for using the system's report...

    Shaft Servicing Duration

    Never heard of one failing. Back in the day when the FJR was a new platform...I think we thought it would be a good thing to do...maybe because we couldn't yet find other things to do. I think it's become a NEPR-adjacent subject personally.

    startup issues

    RossKean is a smart 'fella--especially highlighting this as two distinct issues. I agree with what he said and would add that the "fast starter syndrome" I've diagnosed before can manifest like you're talking about. The good thing is the first one can be fixed by changing your habit and hopelly...

    Sparking sound

    Yeah, not likely a ticker then. They usually manifested in the first 20,000 or so.

    Sparking sound

    Very BIG if true. It's been nearly 20 years since the issue was first sorted and Yamaha even did a technical bulletin and replaced or rebuilt heads because of it. We guestimated 5-15% of bikes or so on the forum. However, I doubt Yamaha would still honor it as they advised owners back. You'd...

    Sparking sound

    I think it's been many, many years since somebody uttered these words on this forum.....but you *may* have one of the dreaded Tickers from the words you type. Or if you're lucky a cam chain tensioner. 2005 and earlier Gen 1 motorcycles had a fair number of bikes have sub-optimal valve guide...

    Difficulty starting with a warm engine

    Why do you think it's "getting hot" and think you have to stop it? Is it boiling over, throwing an error code, or running strangely? If not these or something other than you think it's hot...I wouldn't shut it off to begin with. Fans coming on, temperature bars in upper segments, and hot air...

    Odometer Error

    Not necessarily on multiple levels. 8% off of what exactly? Did you use a section of calibrated section of highway with mile-post markers, general MP markers, or maybe aerial marks used by aerial surveillance? What degree of accuracy is the 8%? +/- 2%? +/-0.5%? And while the odometer...

    Ticking sound after valve adjustment

    Idle seems way high to start. And, yes, that's not right. It seems specific to a cylinder valve that's clicking. WAY louder, stronger, and more consistent than the subtle amount sometimes FJRs tick. It doesn't seem like a cam chain tensioner as that sound is more of a sloppy chain and not...

    FJR1300 - GEN 4 - 3 Pin Head Light Bulb

    You posted that you have a 2016 FJR? Assuming so, the 2016 Gen 4 year started with a "new LED headlight system and LED tail light design". So, no, it's not an old-fashioned H4 halogen bulb. I believe it's proprietary and sealed. Many Gen 1 to Gen 3 owners with the H4 halogen bulbs have...

    Cannot find procedure for Gen 1 barbarian jumper mod….please help!

    It was according to the Yamaha website as I observed during those periods new FJRs were posted on the website. I tended to do it the month the model was announced. I did my best to record the amounts, focus on the deltas and recall forum discussion on the method of recording weight in 2006...
