Just wanted to remind everyone that in your attempts to smooth out the FJR engine, to not overlook the throttle body sync. It should normally be done at regular intervals anyway, though the frequency escapes me right now. I sync mine whenever I swap the spark plugs because I'm already under the...

I was just looking at Southwest Mototire's prices on the Avon Storms and see that they have a special note on the 120/70ZR17 front tire that says "not recommended." Have they gotten a hold of a bad batch of Storms? I've been wondering myself because my present worn out Storm on the front rides...

Hello everyone! I'm getting ready to take another trip out west with Reaper in a couple of weeks. I'm interested in receiving any Garmin routes or tracks of excellent twisty roads that you have ridden in the past. Please only send routes or tracks where you know that the pavement is excellent...

If you regularly cover your FJR you need to make sure the mirrors are folded in. Otherwise, the wind action on your cover will cause the paint to be rubbed off the top edge of your mirrors. This is tested and true FJR followers, at least with the Yamaha brand FJR cover.

I've got about 2600 miles now on the Bridgestones that came with it. Anybody remember what kind of miles they got out of the oem Bt-020's? I'm only 300 miles from SFO. I mean, surely my tires would last 3 or 4 more days---right? I've got a new set of Avon's in the shed, but i just detest...

I'm riding the Blue Ridge Parkway south from Front Royal Saturday morning. I'll be getting started early. Anyone interested in meeting for a quick breakfast and an early ride, say, be riding by 7AM?

Yep, life dealt me lemons, so I made lemonade. My trip from Gahanna to Vienna today was fantastic! Very little wind until I got over the mountains, no rain, no snow, and no close calls other than a cager here in Vienna trying to change lanes with me still there. I went ahead with the route I...

I got away from the Memphis area Sat. morning headed for Gahanna, OH with a planned stopover in the Louisville area. It rained all day on me Sat. with high wind and no sunshine that I recall. Before I got out of Memphis and with only 8 vehicles between me and them, I saw a wreck. One car slammed...

I have a top case that came off of my '03 FJR that I want to use on my new '07. How do I go about that? Is that something the dealer could handle or do I need to take it to a body shop? Do I need to be armed with paint codes when I go there? Would a good body shop be able to look up the code or...

To make a long story short, I had some work done on the bike (ticker fix, TPS recall, etc.) and when I got it back and rode it a couple of days it started leaking coolant. The leak occurs where the thermostat assembly inlet pipe bolts to the top of the engine, ont he right hand side in the area...

OK. I've already had my bike in to the shop for discussion of various issues facing me before my warranty expired next fall. I explained that I thought I had a ticker, that mine had been recalled for the TPS replacement, I can no longer start the bike while in gear with the kick stand up (I have...

OK, I bought a Yamaha trunk off of E-Bay to mount on my '03 FJR and the bike now "dances," seems to be a little less planted at highway speeds. I thought maybe this was due to my rear tire being worn out, but with a new front and rear tire I still feel this little side-to-side dance when...
