    New FJR1400

    Looks like Europe may be getting an all new FJR1400 in 2013 (July 2012 Motorcyclist). Could be very exciting. Let's hope it gets to the States.

    Cullman, AL, D&H Cycle

    I second Luke's first two lines. These people are the BEST! The time and effort they put into making sure my order was exactly what I wanted went well beyond the level of service I have come to expect from most cycle shops. Doesn't matter if you are ordering over the phone or in person you...

    Power Commander III

    Put a PCIII on my 08' FJR about a month ago and have just over 1000 miles logged. I used the map for aftermarket exhaust since I am using Staintune exhausts. The PCIII reduced the popping but did not eliminate it completely. What it did do is smooth out the throttle control when rolling off...

    Posting Photos before 2022

    A test from a photo challanged person. Don't know if it needs to be sent to turn into a photo. Here goes. [/img] Now I need to check photo size. This might be too big.

    Tire suggestions

    I agree with DaNav. Match the front for now. When you're ready to switch both I've had Pilots and really liked them. Much better ride than the stock Bridgestones. Switched to Dunlop Roadsmart and they also have a good feeling. Michelins, Dunlops, Avons I really don't think you can go wrong...

    If Yamaha/FJR listened to its customers..

    This really is a "different strokes for different folks" topic. That's why almost everything mentioned can and should be a dealer installed option (with the exception of a 6 spd). You want it, you pay for it. I've had the MC Cruise on my 04 for years and when traveling freeways or through...

    Anyone ever ordered FJR130 stuff from here

    See my last post under "Caps for Heated Grips." I'll let you know if I hear from them.

    Caps For Heated Grips

    I just sent japan.webike an email to see if they can provide any additional information for me on the grips. I'll let everyone know if I hear back. If or when they do or do not respond may give some insight into the customer service aspect of this company and if ordering from them is a good idea.

    Caps For Heated Grips

    Here they are! https://japan.webike.net/products/1512931.html the exact grips with those little end caps. But I'm not going to spend 16,000 yen just to get the caps. There must be a way to find out where/who manufactures them and has a box full of caps. I'd be willing to buy 6 or 8 pairs of...

    Caps For Heated Grips

    Thank you to everyone who has offered their assistance. However, I now understand why my local dealer (not where I purchased the bike) has not been able to help me. I believe heated grips were offered as a dealer add-on in 04’. I do recall having to wait for the bike while they finished the...

    Caps For Heated Grips

    I have an 04 FJR with factory heated grips. I have lost one of the end caps and my local dealer doesn't have a clue where I can get a replacement. Will end caps from a newer model work? Or is there another option?

    AE Walk Through.

    Thank you, to everyone who provided a response to this issue. I've been considering trading in my 04' on an 08' and have been unable to decide between the A and AE. After a test ride on an 06' I was even more confused. I love them both. You've answered most of the questions and concerns I...

    Greater Portland Area Service Depts?

    I had my 16,000 tune up when passing through the Portland area at Beaverton Yamaha and other then taking longer then expected they did a good job. Put everything back together correctly and my trip home went smooth. Unlike my 32,000 mile check at Michael's in Carson City where they tried to...

    Helmet Assisted Radar Detector

    I used the H.A.R.D. system for about 6 months last summer. Overall I liked it. Small, fit nicely into the helmet, easy to see and worked well with my V1. However, my Garmin 2610 would periodically wig out. Loose the sat signal or begin giving strange readings like speeds of 310 mph. I know...

    Cruise Control

    I've put 30,000 miles on my 04' since installing an MC Cruise and it has operated flawlessly. I can't imagine having a bike without it. Being able to relax my right hand and still make speed adjustments with my left thumb is great. The actuator (I think that's what they call it) on mine sits...

    Heated Grips on 08A

    Thanks to everyone for the replies. Heated grips are a must where I live and I like the factory installed look. Now I just have to decide "to clutch or not clutch".

    Heated Grips on 08A

    Has anyone added the Yamaha heated grips to their 2008A? I know on the AE the control is incorporated in the left side of the fairing. Do they use the same set up or is it like my 04 where the control is above the reservoir on the left handle bar? I'm considering buying an 08 and want to know...

    Carrying Extra Fuel

    Thanks to everyone for their suggestions. I went with the milk carton. Only kidding! I found a 2 1/2 gal. red plastic gas can at $16.95 Kragen that has a new style of cap. The cap has a plastic rachet type lock system and vents itself into the cap so that any fluid that might come out goes...
