public service announcement... I bought a handful of Purolator L14610 filters a while back. I read a cross reference sheet that said these will fit. There was no leak after the oil change but a week later I took a 500 mile ride and returned to find a puddle of oil under my bike in the garage...

Something I've noticed out on the open road. This is hard to articulate but hopefully someone will understand. I am not an aggressive rider and never hit redline so this isn't a big concern, just curious more than anything. If I slowly open the throttle to wide open, the bike pulls strong...

Who has mounted a RAM ball above the instrument cluster? I would like to mount my GPS higher, above the gauges and below the windshield. I don't know if that plastic is strong enough to hold a RAM ball with a GPS hanging off it? Ideas or pictures would be appreciated. My ride is a 2007 (Gen...

I have a Garmin 2597LMT that worked perfectly for me until a fall in the car tugged the USB charging plug off the circuit board. An attempt to resolder a new plug failed. SO.... that leaves me looking for a new GPS. I still have all the accessories and ram mount for the 2597, but since I'm...

I went to change my rear tire and noticed my rear axle pinch bolt is missing. Not sure how long it's been gone. Can anyone tell me what the pinch bolt dimensions are, so I can get a local replacement? Judging by some spare odd bolts on hand, it seems like a 8MX20 but I'm not sure of the...

I need to hear from some people with experience. I searched the forums and online but there are lots of conflicting reviews. Problem: Lots of buffeting on the top of my helmet. I already have three different windshields: Stock, Tall, and the Rifle Barn Door. All of them are great in their...

I have a question for those that have --or have had-- a long commute. I've always been blessed to have short commutes to work. Today my commute is 8 miles and takes only 20 minutes in my truck. But I have been miserable at this job. My doctor said to me yesterday, "get the hell out of...

I live in sunny Phoenix, Arizona. I'm looking for mesh over pants that I can wear over my work clothes (usually boots, slacks + belt, and a dress shirt). I would love some feedback on which pants you guys have had good experience with. Important features for me are: +Zippers all the way up...

I have a 2007 AE. I'm trying to adjust the YCCS engagement RPM. Need help from those that have done it before or have the service manual handy. I jumped the diagnostic plug under the glove box and I am following this procedure...

I need suggestions on a good route East to West, from Jacksonville back to Phoenix. This will be a slow route over 5+ days, trying to avoid interstates and see some beautiful scenery. I would appreciate any route recommendations from anyone that's gone this way before. Any points of interest...

Hi everyone, I have a 2007 FJR1300AE and I need to bleed the clutch mechanism. I don't have the Yamaha service manual (yet). I was told the non-Yamaha manuals don't give the procedure. I would imagine there are lots of guys on this forum who have done this before so I'm asking around for input...

My new-to-me 2007 windshield has some movement in it, forward and backward. I'm wondering if this is normal. The up and down movement is free and quiet and smooth and it does not move around while riding. It's only the forward/backward in the video that I'm concerned with. To better explain...

Anyone here participate in riding games / contests? I am active in some other forums where we play tag around the state, or A to Z. It gives me a reason to get out and ride to new places I haven't been to before. Also, the pictures from different places in my home state are interesting. Is...

I pulled a J&M CB unit (jm2003cb) off my previous bike. I was hoping to mount it on my 2007 AE model but due to the lack of a clutch perch, there aren't any mounting bolts on the left handgrip! Has anyone else used a J&M unit on their AE and can comment on how they mounted it?

Selling my VStrom, would like a FJR or Concours next. The FJR1300AE version would be of interest as well. I like the Red or Black or Blue colors. I know chances are slim but I thought I'd throw this out in case someone in Arizona was looking for a VStrom style bike...

Selling my VStrom, would like a FJR or Concours next. I'm not opposed to the FJR1300AE version. I like the Red or Black or Blue colors. I know chances are slim but I thought I'd throw this out in case someone in Arizona was looking for a VStrom style bike...

Looking for a good deal on a new or used FJR1300AE with low miles and warranty near Phoenix. Prefer not the silver color. The only one I know of on the showroom floor is at RideNow and they aren't good to deal with. -Steve in Phx.

Hi all, I recently found a used 2007 FJR1300A for sale in Phoenix. It had some modifications done to it, including a sticker on the side that reads "Len's bike" in cursive lettering. I was hoping "Len" would be reachable on this forum and could give me more information about the bike. I'll...

Hi all, I'm looking for a late model FJR1300AE, preferably a 2008 or 2009, in good condition. I'm in Phoenix. I can only find dealer stock and the dealers are unwilling to deal. :angry: Point me to any deals you know of. Thanks! -Steve in Phx

Hi everyone, I'm seriously considering purchasing a 2008 FJR1300AE model at a local dealer. It is used, with 3200 miles on it. I need some of you to help me answer a few questions before I go back to them again. Please forgive the ignorant questions but I need input from FJR owners that may...
