As of November, this bike has sold. Couldn't find a way to delete the post. Cheers to all who were interested.

Sorry, I'm not getting alerts for this post for some reason. Yes, bike is still for sale.

Just saw this. Not getting "alerts" for some reason. Yep, Further is reference to Ken Kesey's Merry Pranksters. Further was the name of their bus. BTW, we rode together years ago with Tyler on a ride up the coast. I just accompanied for the day and y'all were riding farther up. Cheers.

Hey thanks, nice of you to take the time to make that reply. Interesting sidenote for old timers, it was painted by a now gone company in San Francisco called Underground Colors, which was part owned by one of The Tubes, a crazy theatrical rock band from the 70s. The part owner was drummer...

Bullet proof mile-muncher. No longer ride two-up, and older now. Switching to a lighter Tracer GT. Someone else gets to become the proud owner of this truly unique bike with a stunning, head-turning custom paint job. $5000. Perfer cash, but that can be worked out. Santa Rosa, Calif. -55K...

Why not a belt? They’re even lighter than a chain. They have a service life over 25,000 miles. And they don’t need to be adjusted or lubricated. What’s not to like?

“You all are describing why after 20+ years with the FJR, I went with a Yamaha triple for 2-up touring. The Tracer 900 GT weighs just under 500 lbs, and I get to retain a pair of FJR hard cases” I tried to do the same with the 2019 tracer GT I bought. I still have the FJR to. I switch...

Sorry, this Zumo now has a new home.  Thanks for your interest. Cheers, Chris

Just bit the bullet to upgrade to a new XT, so I'm selling my lightly used, and in perfect condition 590.  Paid over $825 for it 4 years ago, but I'm letting it go for $125.  Comes with a case.  A car mount.  A RAM mount with a DIN style plug already attached.  An extra battery. I called up...

Just replaced my Cardo Q3 Multiset with the newest Pactalk Bold Duo.  So I'm selling my trusty Q3 set for $80.  Everything works just fine. Have never had problems.  Only wear is the foam cover on the speakers has deteriorated.  Comes with everything that was in the box originally.  I'll PM you...

Just upgraded to a Pac Talk Bold set for the wife and I, so selling our VERY well functioning Q3 Multiset for $60.  2 sets of mics for fixed helmets and for modulars.  Everything that came with it originally.  Only worn part is the foam cover surrounding the speakers is very deteriorated.  Will...

bruinFJRguy - What was your impression of the FJ 09? I'm not riding 2-up as much as I used to and might go to the Tracer GT, (new iteration of the FJ 09) at some future date. Don't feel compelled to lug around an extra 160 pounds needlessly, (much as I like my FJR).

Thanks everyone for the great input. I have an appointment today with the Motorcycle Shop to put a new PR4 on the rear wheel I'm bringing in. I get a good feeling from them. We'll see. Maybe I'll use them for more "light duty" service, and go down to K&B for bigger things like valves, etc...

I'm new to the San Fran. North Bay, specifically Santa Rosa. I'm trying to find a Yamaha dealer I can trust for future work. Any North Bay FJR owners who know of, and can recommend a Sonoma Co. dealer? For years I lived in SF and had a great FJR whisperer named Gail at Mission Motorcycles...

Yes, I'm "assuming" it was tampered with. I think it's a safe assumption. It seems very less likely it was broken any other way I can think of. There are small marks that could have been made with a screwdriver. I've also had unlocked padlocks hanging off my Pelican topcase stolen from the...

Thanks for the link to the fiche, Ignacio. Looks like no part available. "...it would seem that it did do it's job if somebody was trying to tamper with it...you didn't have your contents stolen." Actually it DIDN'T do it's job. Nothing stolen because it was empty except for some maps and...

Just discovered a broken plastic lock tab on one of my '08 bags. That's the small "L" shaped tab that the locks' pivoting metal piece sits behind when engaged by your key. Never paid much attention before, but it's surprisingly insubstantial. The tab is part of, and rises up from a plastic...

Spent nearly 20 years looking for best earbuds. Tried Etymonic and everything else including custom. Found these to be best: https://www.webbikeworld.com/r4/meelectronics-m6-earbuds/ Now called the M6 Memory Wire: https://www.meeaudio.com/earphones/wired/ Think you can get them on Amazon...

that would be very cool. What's the point of both rider and passenger having to carry 2 separate MP3 players, really ? Otherwise, the Sena seems like an equally great system. And I really like their dial control thing.

I've been a Chatterbox XBi user for years, not because it's so wonderful, but because for years it was the ONLY unit that would pick up my MP3 music and stream it to my pillion. But after MUCH research and seeing the units demo'd at the MC Show, I'm going to the Cardio Q1 or Q3 which the guy...
