    Considering returning to FJR

    If the angle does not change then it is a real pity. Many thanks for clarification.

    Considering returning to FJR

    You may be spot on on this. I am also 59 now. My current Super Tenere is ergonomically perfect for me (I have installed Helibars and custom seat), but the engine is not what I enjoy. And if you are not doing offroad, then the engine sound/behavior is the biggest part of fun, which I am currently...

    Considering returning to FJR

    Many thanks for the answers. As I wrote, I did have gen2 once for 9 years and there I had installed the Helibars triple clamp and also Topsellerie comfort gel seat. However, though it gave some relief, it did not completely cure the problems, at least not to the comforty level that I enjoy on...

    Considering returning to FJR

    Hi guys. Its been some 5 years since I swapped from 2008 FJR AS to Super Tenere. ST has been no doubt much more comfortable, but I have found out that I do not do any off -road at all and there are not many gravel roads left in our country to exploit its versality. As for riding emotions, then...

    My first take on Super Tenere

    Hi guys. I was a regular follower of this fine forum for 10 years until I swapped my FJR last year to Super Tenere. I promised to post information about my impression about ST. So I did a tour to Germany a couple of weeks ago, see my write-up in ST forum here...

    Time for a new mistress

    After long and cold winter I could finally do my maiden ride on the very new ST. Whoa, what a bike! I rode 9 years on FJR and thought that's as good as it can get. Well, no offense, but it feels to me that the Super Tenere is even better for me. Very comfortable riding position, good wind...

    ECU flash for smoothness in 09 FJR?

    I ordered the PCV for my 2008AE with smoothness map preinstalled. I told the seller of the PC that I need a smoothness map and they loaded it on before shipping. That cured all the throttel problems.

    Shifting AE Smoothly and Hesitation at Low RPM?

    the best way to smooth the off idle stumbling is to install Power Commander with a smoothness map. I did it together with spring rewind and trhottle tamer, but the PC really cured the problem.

    the day has come, sold FJR

    I have been following this fine forum since I bought by FJR in 2009. What a wonderful place with lots of fun and advice! Now, since i bought new S10 I decided to sell my 2008 FJR AS (ES in Americas), I simply can't afford enough attention to both of them. Yamaha dealer offered me €3000 as a...

    Time for a new mistress

    After 9 years of pretty close and faithful relationship to my FJR 08 AS I decided to upgrade to mistress 2.0. Here she is on the assembly board: the Super Tenere 2018 XT1200ZE Raid edition. It will stay at the dealership until spring though (riding season is over here) and I can go there every...

    thanks a lot for this report, I also have the AE model, so perhaps I will will need to follow the advice one day. Right now I do not have any problems, the oil is Yamalube FS 10W40.

    In memorium...Richard Christensen

    Very, very sorry to learn about this, Sue. We had a true privilege to host you and Rich at our home in Tallinn, Estonia, back in autumn 2012 and we became good writing firends since then. What a wonderful man! I did exploit his kindness quite few times in receiving the aftermarket parts from US...

    Valve Clearance How-To Video

    Oh, very sorry. As a non- native english speaker I am perhaps not too good in finding correct expressions. Ross is right, it was meant as a friendly admiration. I wish I had the same patience in keeping my own bike in such a condition. I mean, even below the covers everything looks to be shiny...

    Unknown rubber bit...

    could be left from the previous washer or anybody been there before you. One edge looks to be cut, not torn and not the factory mould/prodcution. You did not see any worried trucker looking for something in the roadside near that place?

    Valve Clearance How-To Video

    thanks a lot, very useful viedo. It looks like you do not ride your bike at all, its in showroom condition. No dust or dirt. How do you do it? Can you post a video on that as well?
