Mine broke with a genuine Yamaha box and a 130lb passenger sometimes leaning back. I consider this normal use.

As the initiatior of this thread, thanks to all for your comments and observations. I have since had my sub frame welded and strengthened, and I am happy with the results. As its all covered it doesn't matter about how it looks as long as its strong. If you have to take the back end of your...

I am pretty ticked at Yamaha right now. My rear sub-frame cracked in the same place several others have experienced. When my dealer contacted Yamaha they said that due to age (4 years old) they would not cover replacing or repairing the sub-frame. This seems like nonsense to me. I know that...

Another thought on this topic.....even if the top box weight limit of 13lbs is observed, how can Yamaha justify this when anyone with a passenger leaning against the top box, would easily generate a torque exceeding the 13lb limit. It makes no sense to me - its a design flaw and Yamaha should...

Cruising through old posts I found this and can say "ditto". I just discovered the same cracks on my 2008 with 16K miles. I guess I need to find an aluminum welder in town! The bike had not been in any crash or lay-down - only abuse could have been overloading the top box, but this clearly...

in case you are still not convinced, another emphatic "Yes" !!!

You will not be disappointed. Had mine done earlier this year. Awesome difference. Why did it take me so long?? :-)

Hardly used, stock windshield. $75 o.b.o Call 559-304-6506

I like it, its going to look really baaaad, in a good way. Send more pics as you get it done.

Rode it to work at 32 degrees, enjoyed the recently installed grip warmers and new Russell seat, rode it home at 70 degrees! Ahhhh, winter in California :-)

Just got my seat back from Russell after taking part in their group buy. The whole experience was impressive. The ordering process was painless, including there being no charge on my credit card until the seat was ready to be shipped back to me. When I unpacked the box, the seat was wrapped in...

Thanks for the great photos and description. I completed the installation this weekend and could not have done it without the photos and notes. Routing the right side heated grip cable in a loop through the new cable clamp would have been impossible without additional photos. Taking my time and...

Sadly the Yamaha folks put as much effort into upgrading the bike we love as they did in spell checking the website. The bike is "the pinnacle of supersport touring" not the pinnicle!! No reason to go window shopping for another year!

This group / self buy has been extended until the end of next week, Friday December 10th. See first posting for details on how to order this very cool and useful farkel. Ian

A Helibar triple clamp is one of the most discussed farkles on this site. Disappointing only 2 people have signed up for the self-buy. I guess you all have got one already!

What the heck is someone doing with all these Yamaha badges? You can add me to the list who had one taken off my 08. I seem to remember it was about $9 to replace.

Another "Absolutely Yes" from me. I am a daily FJR Commuter in Central California. Temps range from 110 in the height of summer to 25 in the early winter mornings. No problem with either as long as you keep moving: sitting at stop lights in 110 degrees is not too much fun! Lots of storage space...
