    X-creen windshield extender

    The XScreen Sport (Not the Tour) on a Yamaha Tour screen is the way to go. The Sport is light enough that it doesnt stress the shield and it takes out buffeting. You can look way over it and still be comfortable. Ive tried all the windshields and this was the best combination by far.

    Yamaha Touring Windscreen vs Rifle

    Ive tried all the shields, Rifle included. Ive cut them down, raised them up, installed spacers, well you get it. The hands down winner was the Yamaha touring screen with an MRA Sport (not Tour) on top. It breaks the turbulence and directs air to top of helmet, not the sides. Im also 5-11, 32...

    Traded my FJR

    Yes, the R was great for short fun rides. Even with the MRA the wind beat the crap out of me at anything over 70 mph. The GT is great for everything now that I have it set up.

    Traded my FJR

    After 12 years and 200k miles on two FJRs (2007, 2015) I made a pretty drastic change. I traded for a KTM Super Duke 1290r! After all the time and miles on the Feej, the Duke feels like a scooter to sit on. Insanely light and powerful, its the most fun bike Ive ever been on. However, after a...

    GYTR slip on

    Would really prefer not to ship them and have to risk damaging the goods if I dont box them bombproof especially this time of year.

    GYTR slip on

    Sell for $350.00. Excellent condition,like new. Great sound and good looking! Took it off bike b4 trading. (2015 A). Prefer someone in Florida as shipping would be a pia.

    Temp sensor?

    Ouch! Boy am I embarrassed. Should’ve searched. Thanks for the replies all. I was mentally at the dealer replacing sensors and thermostats.

    Temp sensor?

    My bike runs at 163 degrees at normal conditions at speed. That wasnt the case today. This morning the temp readout was all over the place. Never seen this before. 60 degrees, cruise set at 80 mph. Temp readings would jump from 157 to 172 to 161 to 168 to 159 etc. at intervals of a second or...

    Daytona arrow sport boots

    Brand new in box, size 41 Euro which is supposed to fit 9.5 US in these boots. I wear a 9.5 everything and these are just a touch too small. I wore them around the house thinking they'd stretch out but they didn't so I can't return for a 42. These boots are beautiful! $250.00 and I'll ship.

    Frozen throttle

    Never mind. I crimped the cable so bad it froze the wire inside the metal casing. Looks like a new cable for me.

    Frozen throttle

    I think I crimped my throttle cable under the T bar after changing plugs. Took tank back off and freed cable but still no turn at grip. First time changing plugs. Bike started right up but no twist at grip. Anything obvious I can check or am I screwed?

    Yamaha Touring Windscreen

    Oops. Adding up "the solution" $ it's only 570.00! By the way, I'm sitting on a Bill Mayer and have the Heli bars all the way back.

    Yamaha Touring Windscreen

    Here's how I ride in "the cone of silence". It can really be done but it's not as simple as getting a bigger windshield. We all know the noise is created by air rushing over the helmet. Buffeting is created by dirty air coming over the sheild at odd angles. Back pressure is created by the vacuum...
