Hey XHarleyrider, Seeing I'm in the same neck of the woods as you, you mind expanding on this statement so I can avoid these folks also? "I have not had any luck at all with several Yamaha dealers in the Dallas area. " I have dealt with Stadium Yamaha and have yet to form an opinion on their...

nippin at the heels of 49 and ride solo :yahoo:

Just got done reading many threads on the clutch soaking solution. I must say that taking a wrench to a bike with 500 miles on it doesn't exactly thrill me no less wrenching on the clutch. I'll have the dealer check it out when they do the 600 service. This will obviously be the first time...

Frayne, I went with Sidi boots. I have the B2 and Vertigo boots, not that I do a lot of walking around in them (bring my work shoes with me and change at work) but a co-worker bought the Sidi Doha and they look pretty comfy. The B2 and Vertigo's are comfortable but I wouldn't hike in them and...

Thanks for the replies, I did see all the threads on soaking the clutch plates but I am hoping it's just the break in blues. At the rate I'm going, I'll be at the 600 mile mark here shortly. I may stop by the dealer prior to the service to give a heads up and will mention the part about soaking...

All, After many miserable miles on my Ducati, I finally switched over to the FJR and love my 09 hoping many trouble free miles were ahead with the FJR. Well, recently (past hundred miles or so) I've been having trouble selecting gears,some times 1st, other times 3rd. I have come to a stop once...

Congrats on the bike, your gonna love it. I just bought a 09 and it's the best purchase I could have made. Enjoy the ride, be safe

I was wondering what my 09 would look like with the Hexacones. Now I just have to dig into the piggy bank :) Your bike looks great.

Pickles, Thanks for the info. I'm gonna save a little and make that the first "gotta have" farkle. I'll end up with the stock header, not real into the noise but a little more wouldn't hurt. I agree on the looks, most aftermarket cans have a strap going around the can so it can mount to the...

Rsvlfeej, Thanks for that info, that is exactly what I was lloking for. Guess I need to do some more research when it comes to the differences/advantages between the HID and Xenon lighting. I have yet to even see how effective my stock lights are so this may be a mute point. Thanks again for...

Useless Pickles, Just picked up my 09 but prior to getting it I saw the Hexacones on yours. I'm assuming you did the install yourself?, how was it, any issues to expect? where'd you get yours? That's the first "really want it" farkle I want. I agree, the shape of those cans make it look like...

Thanks for the welcome guys. As far as the farkle list goes,, it seems like frame sliders are one of the things to add to the top of the list. Been looking around but haven't had one jump out at me. The biggest thing I'm interested in is not altering the tupperware. After searching around, I...

I first started my return to riding in 07 and narrowed my choice down to two bikes. The two I liked the most were the Ducati ST3S and the FJR. At the time I didn't like the color choice for the 07 so I went with the Duc. Although I heard the negatives about buying a bike with a small dealer...

Congrats on the new bike. I'm in the market for an 08 myself, did you have to order it or did they have it on the floor. None of the dealers around here have one on the floor but claim they can get one. Happy riding and keep the rubber side down!!
