Bike is in great shape (just a few small cosmetic scratches on the bag. I am the 2nd owner of this burgundy FJR (I purchased it with 10k). It currently has 31k well-maintained miles. Have records of all major maintenance including most recent valve check. Yamaha side bags include Yamaha liners...

Greetings Fellow FJRer's, I wanted to pick your techies brain on a strange problem I'm having after taking my bike in for the 26k valve check. Before the service I've always had some engine braking when I'm cruising in 2nd or 3rd gear and I let go of the throttle. Every bike I've owned has had...

Hi guys, The stock seat is horrible but I've been dealing with it for years. My main issue is sliding forward into the tank. I've read many posts on here about Sargent, Russell, Mayer, and Corbin seats but I don't want to lay down all this cash on a seat that I don't like. I was wondering if...

Hey guys, Hope this is not too stupid a question that I'll get flamed by festus. Would it be possible for an FJR guru in the San Francisco Area come by to give their opinion on my rough running engine (I'll pay you)? I'm using a Carbtune II for TBS. The pressure was at 220 in cylinder 3. I...

Hey all, After installing a PCIII and doing a TB sync months ago the terrible 4k buzz virtually disappeared (with the stocker map, I like it better than the "smoothness" map which still had a bit of buzz). Today I went for a short ride and its back! Worse than ever. The bike runs fine, idles...

I changed and flushed my cooling system out a few weeks ago and put in Dex-cool (the orange stuff) which was recommended to me from another site. So after doing a search on Dex cool here and the internet, I'm FREAKING OUT! The stuff sounds bad for gaskets and I think I should get it out of my...

Well I heard it just might rain here in California (please, we need it badly), so I needed some more "bonding" time with my Cherry. First day I rode the "63 miles of bliss" that is Hwy. 25. Day 1 Map Going south from Hollister is a cruiser's paradise. There are a few twisty areas to keep...

Do any of you guys ever get that burning feeling between your shoulder blades while riding? I've had a few bikes and have had this problem on my WeeStrom also. I went for a long ride today and it was real bad and affected my riding. I don't ride tense. I keep my arms slightly bent and...

January is supposed to be the rainiest month in the Bay Area during winter. Historically, if January is dry, then the year is going to be dry :dribble: I hope that is not the case because we already have a serious drought for years. So what does one do on these nice "Summer" days in the...

This was all over the BARF forum. I hope its not true because it could start a domino effect with the other manufacturers. MotoGP needs MORE bikes on the grid not less.

DARN I DON'T GET A TITLE DO-OVER..... TYPO, I MEANT TO SAY HAND GRIP FITMENT Hey guys, Have a handgrip dilemma. When I got my used "Cherry Baby" she had the popular aftermarket heated grips I've seen often on here. They are much longer than normal and the previous owner had put spacers to...

Well I finally did it, she fell in a garage mishap today. No major damage, just a big 4" gouge in the plastic of the upper cowling :angry2: . I should not have been pushing the bike around in my garage because I had surgery on my ankle a month ago. :unsure: I just started walking on my...

I thought this was a nice piece written by a local FJR rider (maybe you're reading this Derek) in our paper. https://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?.../MTIA13VJNQ.DTL Here's the text: "I first started riding a motor bike about 10 years ago when I was 60. An elder brother died in a motor...

:angry2: I was syncing my TB and my butter fingers lost one of those rubber nipples that cover the vacuum outlets. It seems to be in the black hole (the place where the socks go). Any idea where to get those? Is it something I have to order and wait for? thanks, jen

I have searched on seat options for the FJR and viewed the various pics and reviews but have not read any answers to my dilemma. Which of these seats will keep me from sliding forward into the tank? Seems like just about every Japanese bike I've owned the stock seat slides you right into the...

I want to swap the clutch slave cylinder on my 07 (cause of my dainty hands) however the clutch slave cylinder on my bike has 3 bolts holding it down. It doesn't make any sense to me since all the fiche I look at only shows 2 bolts. Anybody have any idea on this? Did I get a different engine...

https://farm4.static.flickr.com/3019/295679...5aa38e6.jpg?v=0 Sorry not the best picture, but this is San Francisco and it was very cold and foggy today. I just picked her up today :yahoo: Ain't she pretty? :D The bike had 12K but was very well taken care of. Looks like it came right...
