I went on the America's 9/11 Ride to benefit first responders. In 3 days and 850 miles, I visited all three sites of the terrorist attacks. There were about 1000 bikes so I expected to see other FJRs. Except for mine, I did not see any. There was only two Concours 14 (except for about 5...

When entering a shopping center from a busy road, I saw a big ass speedbump which could not be driven around (and I could not consider backing out). So, I went very slow over it and when the front came off the bump before the rear started up the bump, I heard a metallic bump/scrape. I have a...

I just received my brand new Smuggler from Corbin. I had heard various posts on fitment with various seats: Stock - Yes, Corbin - Yes, Sargent - Yes, Bill Mayer - Yes and No, Russell - ?. I have a Bill Mayer but I still shelled out for a brand new one hoping it would fit since I have the...

With the Kisan GB starting, I looked at it but the installation goes beyond my tolerance level. My search found the following link: clickywhich agrees with my assessment of Kisan's instructions. My Rider mag had an advertisement for: TireGardThey also give a pdf comparing their unit with a...

I was a bit worried taking my required ERC course (every 3 years to maintain the 15% insurance discount). I have read about too many people dumping their FJR's during this class. This is the first time I did it with my FJR. I was mainly worried about doing a whole day of slow speed maneuvers...

There is an old thread but it never discusses the Scorpio's vs. the Gorilla's. The paging Gorilla is about $200 (half the price of the Scorpio i900). Does anyone have experience with the paging Gorilla? Is there anything the Scorpio has that the Gorilla does not have? I talked with my dealer...

I am thinking of getting a Corbin Smuggler. Anyone out there tired of theirs?

I tried to get advice for removing a stem nut here to install a ram type mount for my Garmin. None of it seemed to be practical for me (air gun, etc.). I had my burly son give it a try and with all of his might could not get it to budge. Therefore, I decided to take it to the dealer before we...

My bike started to have an annoying whistling sound at idle. I believe that at speed it still whistles but I cannot hear it over the engine noise. It is not real loud but almost is like a ringing in my ears. The whistling continues for about a second after turning the engine off. Does anyone...

I finally started installing my new Vstream and when I get off the old windshield, the foam pad seems to be permanently stuck to the windshield. I aborted my installation since the Vstream does not come with a foam pad and I thought that it was a bad idea to install it without the pad. So my...

I have ridden since 1991 but have never ridden with a passenger. I got a 2007 FJR AE in December and all my friends want me to take them for a ride. I have now gotten used to the bigger size of the FJR so would consider giving my friends a ride. However, this will be new territory for me and...

I have heard that sliders protect the fairing but the side cases still get scratched in a tipover. The Skyway man said that one can remove the reflectors and rotate them to reglue to the front of the side case where they hit in a tipover. Thinking about a simpler solution, I wondered if there...

With my car in the shop, I had no choice but to push the envelop and ride my new FJR AE at 20 degrees F. I found the experience very toasty compared to my old "naked" bike. Granted, my commute is only 25 minutes (10 min at 80 MPH and 15 min city). The only discomfort I had was a little sting...

I ordered the Yamaha trunk when I purchased my 2007 FJR AE since the dealer offered 15% all OEM accessories at time of purchase. I wish I had researched other options first since I later learned that you can get the Givi 52 liter color matched to the Cerulean Silver. Anyway, I do like the...

Today I made payment on my 2007 FJR1300 with electric shift. Based on Yamaha's website, I would be buying the AE model. However, the sales contract said I was buying the AS model. Therefore, I did some searching on this site and figured out that the AE is sold in the US and the AS is sold in...
