Does anyone have a Riding Lawn Mower or Zero Turn Mower? I have ten acres of land and used to either rent tractors with bruxh hoggers and mow it myself, but the rental business doesn't rent tractors and brush hoggers anymore. Then I hired people to come in and brush hog the land occasionally...

:blink: Bummer, I remember reading posts from many of you who had lost a favorite dog or cat and the depth of grief one experiences. I've had to put down two dogs and had two cats put down, yea it hurt, but I don't know why putting down Ginger (because of renal failure) is soooo difficult. I...

:blink: I don't know about the rest of you, but for me, the FJR is the culmination of lots of years in motorcyclling, many other bikes owned and experianced and found lacking in one way or another, but the FJR does so many things so well that I'm just sad it took me sooo many years to find it...

I want to thank all of you who took the time to send me information on how to remove the front wheel and what torque wrench to buy. Warchild, your information along with photos is a Godsend and I appreciate all the time you took to put that together for the FJR community along with sharing that...

OK all you mechanically gifted people. I'm asking for guidance and little tips on this project that has been dumped into the lap of this mechanically challenged FJR owner. I was washing and waxing the bike today when I noticed the front tire looked a little low. Got the air gauge out and it...

:blink: Was at a Discount Tire Store today having the tires rotated and balanced, while waiting for them to accomplish those tasks, I went to the Kawasaki/Honda Dealership next door to take a up close and personal look at all their bikes. They had a Kawasaki C-14 on display without the bags as...

Michelle, this mainly is for you as I know that you couldn't get the time off to enjoy the fruits of your labors...life just isn't fair sometimes. Anyhow, everyone that was supposed to be here has made it safely, not like last year where some participants never made it due to an accident. As...

:blink: Well, back from a eleven day solo odyssey on the FJR. Drove through Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, back through New Mexico and Texas. The distances driven ranged from just a little over 750 miles a day to some places such as the Grand Canyon, I didn't...

:blink: I was just wandering through the board today and noticed a group of you that will be riding through Yosemite and Mammoth Mountain on June 2nd. Hope you all have a safe and great ride. I didn't want to hijack your thread so that is why I'm starting this one. As Yosemite is one of many...

:unsure: OK all you wise sages. This is totally off topic, so I guess this the appropriate area to post this. If anyone has viewed Scarbutt's video in the Test Section entitled Colorado Trip 2004; it has two songs used as background music. Would any of you musical geniuses know the name of...

:unsure: First off, I apologize if I am stepping into an area that I shouldn't, but Ari Rankum's question of what a dogpile got me wondering, there are a number of terms used in here that I an unfamiliar with. Many times I can infer the word's meaning through the usage but one area that I am...

:unsure: There have been a lot of discussions about radar detectors, how to overcome or circumnavigate LEO's using various lidars, radars etc., etc., the best radar detectors, blind spots etc., etc. My question is: If you have a radar detector, and you are stopped by LEO. Will the LEO look...

:unsure: Hello everyone, I know a number of you have purchased a Corbin smuggler for your '06 FJR. Were any of you able to find a locksmith that was able to swap out the provided third lock (to be used on a Yamaha top case.) How much of a pain was it to swap out? Did locking tab on the...

:unsure: I know there was a thread earlier on how many FJR owners are pilots, my question is how many FJR owners are engineers or mechanics? Seems as though many of you all have an uncanny ability to discuss things as to the pros and cons of the design or know how to solve a problem at the...

:unsure: Just out of curiosity, is there a radiator protector made for the '06 FJR and if so what material is it made of, how easy is it to mount, does it negatively impact airflow, how much does it cost and where can you obtain this little critter?

:unsure: Would anyone have a source to obtain the Yamaha FJR 1300 clear tank protector in the U.S.? I'm looking for a dealer name, address and or phone number. I know they exist as I have seen photos of some bikes with them. It actually has Yamaha FJR 1300 in black print and is clear so you...

:clapping: :assassin: :yahoo: Yes, I have definitive proof this bike is a great sports-tourer. Was on a 2,000 mile ride last week through Texas, New Mexico and Colorado. Friday was on the leg from Snowmass, Co. to Durango Colorado. Had a nice lunch at Ouray, Co. and got on the bike to...

:yahoo: Hello Everyone, I have joined all those who have preceded me when I took delivery of my new '06 FJR from Tony @ Yamaha Sportscenter on May 15th. Some initial impressions: 1.) What heat? 2.) No turbulence, there was a definite pocket of quiet air behind the windshield. 3.) I have...

Has anyone used the various tank protectors out there and if so, what did you use and what was your impression of them. Did they do what they were supposed to? Did they look "cheesy" or well finished? Did they stay on the tank or did the adhesive not do it's job properly? If you took it off...
