Selling this pristine 2008 FJR with 6200 miles for $8500 located In the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, town of Watersmeet. This bike is sprung for heavier riders or for touring two up. It has a GP front suspension and Hyper Pro rear shock with progressive wound spring and pre-load adjuster...

I currently have an ipod, 2GB, that I use in conjunction (sync) with iTunes on my computer. Is there anything that would prevent me from buying and using a Sony MP3 player and will the sync function work the same way? Thanks

There may be one or two Yoopers willing to spend $40,000 for a new VOLT to get to the post office in town. My question is, does anyone know how are they heated? It gets a little cold up here once in a while.

I've been elected to select a theme shirt for a group of guys that are going to the Packer/Viking game in Green Bay. I am offering a $25 reward (or donation to your favorite charity) for the best photo-shop submission of Brett Favre's Viking uniform (#4) with Al Franken's head or face. It needs...

My laptop battery seems to be crapping out because whenever I try to use it, the charge says 100% but only lasts for about a minute before it goes in to shut-down mode. Does anyone have experience in selecting a replacement battery that will provide the same capacity and longevity as the...

Went to small carry out shop yesterday to pick up a sandwich. Parked the FJR on what appeared to be a small incline forward. Went in, ordered the sandwich and was in the store about 5 minutes. Walked out toward my bike and as I was reaching for the rear bag to put my sandwich in, the bike fell...

Just installed my FZ-1 power distribution block. Nothing complicated, only adding two accessories, connector for a heated vest and a SAE connector for attaching a battery tender. The charging circuit is working because I can run some power off the battery and the charge indicator comes on the...

I've decided to trade in my old Gateway desktop with Windows Me for a newer model with Windows 7. The Gateway came with Boston BA735 Digital Speakers which I would like to keep. Unfortunately, the proposed replacement computer doesn't produce sound through these speakers. I told the local...

Before I start adjusting rebound and dampening, I would like to know if I am in the realm of reality as far as sag setting is concerned. I bend the scale around 300#. The forks have been upgraded at GP Suspension with 1 kg springs. The rear has a Hyperpro shock with a spring (supposedly) for my...

A tourist is walking along a wharf and sees an old man sitting on a crate. He decides to strike up a conversation. Tourist: Gee, you look like an old sailor to me. Sailor: Aye, that I be. Sailed the high seas fer farty nine yahrs. Tourist: That must have been an exciting career. But, not to...

There is much ado about progressive wound springs (either front or rear) but little technical information. A linear spring rate is simply stated in terms of force/ distance. How are progressive springs rated? Is it measured over a range? An average of the range? How are they ordered from a...

The '08FJR has a peculiar annoyance. When initially starting up from cold, after two or three seconds there is a (what seems to be) pre-ignition on one cylinder. This will happen two or three more times within 10 seconds before abating. The jolt can be felt in the handle bars and is not very...

Has anyone determined if the windshield Auto-Retract Disconnect as described in the Bin-O-Facts is the same for the '08?

Just finished replacing the OEM rear shock on my '08-A with a Hyperpro. Be advised this discussion is only applicable to the '08 FJR 1300A and Hyperpro. I have no applicable knowledge of other models or shock absorber manufacturers. THE GOOD After ordering my FJR, I studied some of the...

Last year I took a ride on my friends '07 FJR and was hooked. With an '08 on order, I started to get into some of the nuts and bolts of the bike and have run into an obstacle regarding the rear shock. Regretfully, I weigh 300# and am concerned the spring on the shock is a 'one size fits all'...

I just visited a dealer for Brand X and noticed on the sticker was the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price. Then, added on, was 'plus shipping and setup charges' which were not itemized. What does Yamaha include in their MSRP? Is the freight included and equalized, e.g., a standard amount...
