Hey everyone, been a long time since I posted here.  I'm having a repeat problem with blowing the main 50 Amp fuse on my 05 FJR ABS.  The bike has just over 200,000 km on it and is ridden fairly hard, tend to get the front wheel in the air once a day. Yes I know that's bad.  Also have pulled the...

Looking for some advice/confirmation of my thoughts. Bike is working excellent after engine being pulled, freeing up the cold start valves, TBS and a good trip coast to coast and back. But riding today as it revs up to 6000 RPM it works great and smooth. As soon as I hit 6500 it jumps around...

On Feb 15, 4 of us our trailering to Georgia, hopping on the bikes and riding to San Diego and back. Plan on 4 days to get to San Diego and taking 8 days to come back stopping at Las Vegas for a night and hoping to see the Grand Canyon. Looking for any suggestions along the way. - 1st...

Have to replace the front rotors on my 2005 ABS. Yes I know I need to replace both sides, but stopped at one of the Yamaha shops and he quoted me $200 for the set or assembly. I'm thinking the $200 covers just one of the rotors and I need to buy 2 of the part number and the cost to replace is...

After pulling the engine, replacing a few gears, shifting fork and everything I could think of including new foot pegs, the bike has been running excellent. Even a little more power probably due to new plugs, valve adjustment and awesome performance mod called 'cleaning your bike' which always...

Well I've gotten it all apart. Will be posting a bunch of pictures as there are not many around on what these things look like taken apart. Only thing I found a real pain was the oil pump chain guard. That was a bit of a bugger as you have to suspend the transmission chassis above the main...

Not saying there wasn't any warning about this modification, and I do really like the sound it produced, but have had two side effects that aren't that great. 1) Minor one, where the ends of the pipe tend to get black. Need to keep after that, but that little peace of steel that brought the...

Just got back from a trip South to the Dragon, Diamond Back, Moonshiner 28, etc. etc. Great trip.... however... I just hit about 68,000 miles on the 05. When coming onto it hard in 2nd gear I feel two distinct clunks at around 5,000 and 7,000 RPM. Feels like a tooth is missing out of 2nd...

Looking to do a custom farkle and need a set of Gen 1 handle bars. Will take with or without grips or bar ends, etc.

So we did a trip to the Dragon from New Brunswick. About 3800 miles. Had put a set of PR2s on about 1000 miles before that. So total miles on these tires was I would say around 5K. Any comments on the odd wear, or did I just love the twisties a little too much. Front: Center had tread about...

Doing a little custom farkle and need a rear seat. Don't care what shape, really only need the plastic frame. Anyone out their have a spare or damaged one they would like to sell?

I'm just wondering if anyone has some proven numbers on the power increase by modifing the FJR with (1) K&N Filter (2) new pipes (3) Dynojet PV (4) Dynojet PCIII. For a 2005 model that is? Just trying to figure out if there is more power on tap? I could also loose 100 lbs which in weight to...

BMW Demo's today at one of the shops. Always like to test bikes, summed up two bikes as uncomfortable and uneventful. BMW S1000RR - definetly faster going from 0-120 mph than the FJR. But to be relative, sit on a block about 10" high, bend forward till your boys are a little crushed, put...

Looking to do a trip to New Zealand next April for the sole purpose of biking around the island. Anyone from New Zealand on this forum with advice or anyone done a similar trip and have recommendations.

Can you get noby tires and chains on the FJR? When I put the bike in the basement I hadn't even considered that I'd be heading out to Florida in the middle of winter. And the path from the rear basement door to the garage has about 6" of ice and a foot of snow. Here'e some quick facts. (1)...

Well snows got the best of us up here in Canada, so enough is enough, 3 of us are headed South. Short stop at Bike week, but then on to driving. Thanks to Jeff, Rick and Ed, we've got some good route suggestions, a place to park our trailer in NC, hop on the bike's and keep going South as far...
