    Valve check/Valve adjustment in Dallas-Ft. Worth

    Interesting. You would go through all that work and not adjust the two back into spec? I hope they were on the loose side.

    Parts For Sale HealTech Quick shifter for sale

    Which FJR do yo have? Because, most of my FJRs love clutchless upshifting! Except for the 6-speed. For some reason, those require a lot more finesse and are more difficult to seamlessly clutchless upshift.

    Considering returning to FJR

    The angle does change, albeit very little. Now, with the Heli bridge, the angle change is quite significant.

    The adjustable handlebars on Gen 3+ FJRs are the same as the Gen II.

    Starter button

    Whatever they are, they are not stock. Like above, my assumption is that they are part of an aftermarket cruise control.

    What are buttons for?

    Yes, why Yamaha decided to confuse everybody with different model designations on different continents is beyond me. For North America: FJR1300 = early Gen I models without ABS FJR1300A = ABS models FJR1300AE = Auto-clutch models FJR1300ES = Electronic Suspension models And when looking up...

    What are buttons for?

    Good point. They may have come 'from the factory' on that retard AE version. 😁:whistle: They may have come 'from the factory' on later Gen IIs also. But, I know they did not come standard on the '08/'09 standard versions. Ahhhhh: From the FJR Model Comparison Matrix, heated grips became a...

    FJR1300 Model Comparison Matrix

    My nitpicking. I was checking it out for the first time in a while and noticed those things. Well done my friend! It is a valuable resource.

    Considering returning to FJR

    The current Helibar Bridge will get you much more upright than the old Helibar triple clamp. In my opinion, it is superior to the MV Motorad risers and I currently have both installed on different FJRs. A truly custom seat will be much better than the Topsellerie. Everybody is built...

    What are buttons for?

    Ack! All this talk of 'factory heated grips' is puckering my anal-retentive meter! There was no such thing as 'factory heated grips' on a 2008 FJR sold in the USA. There was a 'Yamaha Accessory Heated Grips' you could purchase and install yourself, or have a dealer do it.

    Mile Eater Awards

    For crying out loud. If they will give that cert to you, I guess they will give it to anybody!!! 😁 Well done jackwagon! And I see you now have put more miles on FJRs than I. Bastard! .

    front wheel bearings

    When was the last time you did that? It seems that place is out of business?

    front wheel bearings

    I need two front wheel bearings for a spare front wheel I got years ago. I was just doing a little research and interestingly enough, they changed the part number for the front wheel bearings going from Gen II to Gen III. Odd. I thought the wheels were identical...... More research shows the...
