2020/05/07 Recent Coolant / oil leak, maybe last oil change Well, I'm back again, with a new, but more perplexing problem. I've searched this forum for guidance. But, about all I've identified is that "Jestal" is widely missed for his oil related explanations. I'm gonna' try to keep this as...

Last Saturday, 09/21/2019, me and some friends met at a local Kawa- saki/Suzuki dealer to enjoy the frivolities of an annual shindig that they host. Upon reaching their parking lot, and slowing from the 80mph pace enroute, I noticed a strange noise I believed was coming from my front wheel...

FYI - Rhetorical rant.... So, here I am again. Dead '07 FJRA, ~35K miles, and presumably, staring at a third starter relay install(original, 20170518 replace, and, in need once again). I've been reading various reports here on similar faults. I have not yet begun further diagnosis, but the...

I'm NOT trying to advertise this bike. The listing was sent to me by a friend, due to the unusually low mileage for this 2005. Apparently, it's a trade-in at a local Indian dealer. According to the image detail, the ODO shows 6,187 miles. The text says 6,221. So maybe somebody just had to take...

03/09/2017 "Dead FJR" profile: 2007 FJR(A), ~31.5K miles, oem YUASA battery replacement August/September 2016. Except for a headlight bulb replacement, I've never had an ounce of trouble from this bike. But, it is seldom ridden. Last ridden on a cold 03/04 morning, and returned home to its...

Through my experience, and experiences discussed here, many are aware of the oil level "growth" issue after an oil change. I certainly don't have the answer, but I've got a circumvention that I accidentally stumbled upon. It does not 100% eliminate the growth, but certainly retards it to a...

This link references a stated 2005 FJR. In the event that the listing has vaporized by the time you read this, the owner claims ownership of this 2005 FJR for the last 6 years. https://dallas.craigslist.org/mdf/mcy/3100485509.html Just out of curiosity, how can this be? I own a 2007, and...

I'm having a discussion about the FJRAE, with a friend. Friend says the AE will shift gears automatically with- out rider intervention. I say, no, the gear shifting, either via left bar toggle, or left foot control, remains the rider responsibility. But, the clutch activation is the only...

2007 "A" model, ~14K miles. This bike had a PCIII dealer installed at ~2.5K miles, and maybe some of the other smoothness mods(Barbarian, spring, etc.) applied also, by the previous original owner. The bike operates flawlessly, and absolutely no problems are experienced. These mods have...

I need some OEM parts(front pad) clarification, please. Referring to: https://www.fjrforum.com/forum/lofiversion/....php/t8660.html at topic: "Front Brake Pads (kit)", the following appears. Each front caliper requires 4 pads, so you need 8 pads total to replace all front pads. OEM Part SKU#...

I recently added coolant to my '07 FJR, which at least for me, meant R&R of the fairing panel. I know many have performed this simple main- tenance w/o the R&R, but it's just too tight for me. I have a few simple(I hope) questions. 1). Is that hinged panel, held by dzus fasteners, able to...

On a few occasions, I've heard some finer points of the FJR detailed. A few of these reports included something called "Monda/Mundo" motor. Apparently, the general inference is that the FJR is desirable, due in part, to the inclusion of this motor. The general context seems to indicate that...

Viewing: https://parts.yamaha-motor.com/partimage.gifx?d=40803,5,0 Is #32 the bracket that holds the idle adjustment screw, and mechanism? Because looking at: https://www.fjrtech.com/getdbitem.cfm?item=28 I have no idle adjustment screw visible as in that image. It appears that the...

Sorry, I'm new to the FJR and, either through faulty argument construction, or because it does not exist, I've been unable to locate a previously related topic. On the front cover of my owner's handbook, my model number designation is specified as FJR13- 00AW©. I'm assuming: A = ABS W =...

Hi, I've only been cruising this board a day or so. But, if anything, I've learned the admiration that many/ most here have for this D & H cycles organization. I guess this really is a question for D & H, for a definitive answer, but do you think a YES extension is available for a '07 with...
