Thanks for your input Ion Beam. FYI -The missing numbers occur whether the engine is hot or cold. My FJR was at the shop when you replied so I was not able to perform the tests you suggested. The dealer says they contacted Yamaha Technical Representatives and were told that this jumping of a...

Ken and kiwi - How interesting our numbers are so similar. I talked to the dealer today and they thought the TPS was fine (even though it skipped many numbers) but agreed to get me a new one, which is on order. I should have more info by Aug 19. I am optimistic, since replacing the TPS twice...

Thanks kiwiaudio. It is nice to know I am not alone. Here's the latest on my issues. I only use Sport Mode but I did check out the response in Tour mode and the abruptness was more subdued. But then again, all of the responsiveness is subdued in that mode, which is why I don't use it. I...

Short Version: My Gen III 2013 FJR 1300 EFI system has significantly degraded from “absolutely superb” at delivery and through the first 5000 miles. Now, at 6000 miles, I am experiencing annoying off/on throttle abruptness which is particularly nasty in first gear and in the twisties. I also...

I recently purchased a 2013 Gen III FJR after putting 100,000 + miles on my Gen I. I am looking for hands-on practical advice from Gen III 2013 FJR Owners as to the quietest (and least turbulent airflow) aftermarket windshield for the Gen III. Background: After thorough research on various FJR...

Noland, Thanks for your interest in my thread. To answer your question, most folks consider my riding style to be aggressive, solo riding. One of my favorite sports this time of year is Duc hunting. I love to chase down and pass Ducatis on the very twisty, 14 mile long mountain that is 20...

I posted the thread below back in June, 2010 prior to spooning on my 19th set of tires on my 2003 FJR (at 80,000 miles) I was somewhat surprised not to receive any responses. Being the risk taker I am, I forged on without the benefit of the wisdom of this forum. To my surprise I believe I...

Getting ready to spoon on my 19th set of tires on my 2003 FJR. I have tried almost all of the "high mileage" sport touring tires and, in general, I have been happy with everything except treadlife. Most folks consider me to be a fairly aggressive rider and my average for front or rear tires is...

Looking to buy a set of Gen II stock FJR Mufflers in Very Good to Excellent condition. The 2006 FJR I am looking to buy has D&D mufflers which I would like to replace with the stock mufflers. Would also be willing to swap the D&D Mufflers for a stock set. The D&D have a great sound but I...

I am preparing to install the 15th rear tire on my '03 FJR. My searches of this forum for the relative mileage people are getting on Pilot Road 2 and Dunlop RoadSmart Rear Tires have produced only a little bit of information from HCycle and HaulinAshe. Now that these tires have been around for...

FJR Long Term Reliability? Any Common Problems? I love my ’03 FJR which I purchased new and has 56,000, well-maintained miles on the clock. I have only had one minor problem (Throttle Position Sensor replaced at 36, 000 miles and just a few months before the recall). I would be interested in...

16 - 100 vs 15 - 100 is definitely not the problem. I had similar rough riding problems under light load at 65 MPH, and an occasional stalling coming off of idle when hot. I would recommend that you perform the TPS diagnostic immediately the next time the symptom is observed. Based on my...

Just completed an absolutely fabulous 16 day sport touring trip with my wife on her Hayabusa in an attempt to ride every twisty road in Colorado. The FJR performed flawlessly with absolutely no hint of any problem. Thanks to everyone for their insight and advice. My short summary is to beware...

First of all – thanks to everyone for their quick response, insights, and assistance in helping me with this matter. This is an incredible forum with many knowledgeable individuals willing to take the time to share what they know. I now refer to last weekend as “The 40 hour oil change”. That...

Update: Intake air pressure sensor output is roughly linear with vacuum and 8" of vacuum gives an output of 200 which agrees with the spec. This implies a vacuum leak of some sort. The lines look pretty good though. That brass colored "pressure regulator" and all the lines and connections...

Dead ’03 FJR - Intake air pressure sensor? Adv diagnostic help and wisdom requested Symptoms and diagnosis: My ’03 FJR (42,000 miles) suddenly would not start yesterday with no previous warning or symptoms. Fault Code #16 is displayed, which the manual claims the symptom is “A stuck throttle...

If you have an EFI surging problem or experience occasional stalling coming off idle, this information may be of interest to you. Back in March, I reported a very intermittent problem to this forum. It occurred every few thousand miles over the first 37,000 miles on my '03 FJR. It would...

Ionbeam - Great information! I had no responses to my thread, so I took the FJR to the dealer on Tuesday morning. I suggested to them that I believed I had a faulty TPS. Just before going to the dealer, I briefly looked at the shop manual regarding TPS diagnostics. I found the diagnosis...

I would be interested in hearing from folks who have replaced their Throttle Position Sensors with a description of what symptoms the replacement fixed. I would prefer to hear from these folks first, prior to opening the topic up to broadband speculation as to solutions to my problem. The...
