Okay here is the deal. Insurance is going to total my '06 FJR. I bought it with some very nice expensive farkles installed and I've added some more since then. I hate to see them all go to a salvage yard when I suspect many forum members might enjoy having them. But, and this is a big BUT...

Tried to start my 2006 Gen II, after not using it for six weeks, last night. Initially when I tried to start it I thought it fired once then "coughed" and then made a "huffing" sound as the engine turned. I thought it might have been turning over a bit slow so I decided to charge the battery...

I've tried searching the forum and I can't find any discussion of an ECU re-flash. It strikes me that an ECU re-flash would be preferable to adding a Power Commander which it seems a lot of owners have done. I know someone who does excellent re-flashes of Concours 1400 ECUs but don't know if...

I was out riding today and I noticed the turn signal indicators on my 2006 Gen II were very hard to see in the bright Sun light with Sun glasses on. I'm thinking I need to add some LED turn signal indicators to make them more visible. But when I take the sun glasses off I still can't see the...

I'm jumping in with a location idea for next year's EOM. I'm sure others will have suggestions and I may even have more than one. How about Virginia's very motorcycle friendly Natural Bridge Park & Historic Hotel? I've been to a number of motorcycle rallies there, both large and small...

After succeeding in disconnecting the throttle accelerator cable . . . not sure exactly how i finally accomplished that . . . I am having great difficulty installing the "carburettor" cable on my 2006 FJR1300. After closely examining a Ron Ayers, Yamaha, Parts Fiche illustration of the cable...

I put this all together on short notice and thought I'd pass the word here. Come forget your troubles and spend a full day "in the wind". I've laid out a scenic ride up through the Catskills. Our destination will be the Heartbreak Hotel in Jefferson, NY, where we will have a delicious lunch...

Can anyone tell me who manufactures this windshield? The prior owner does not remember and I'd like to know in case I need to replace it.

I've searched through the forum and could not find any mention so I'm asking the dumb, obvious question. Since the oil drain plug is on the left side of the motor along with the oil filter are owners draining the oil with their FJRs parked on the side stand or the center stand? It would seem...

My appologes is this has been covered previously but my search of the forum did not find it. I have a portable Heatroller I use with my electric jacket liner and I'm struggling with a good location for it on my FJR. Mounting on my Concours is easy. I can't afford to buy a permanent-mount...

I've noticed an issue with downshifting on my 2006 since I've bought it in April. Many times my motor refuses to downshift more than one gear without letting out the clutch completely between gears. The problem does no occur 100% of the time but it does seem to occur about 80% of the time...

I found, on Cycle Trader, this 2007 FJR in Georgia that I think just might be the right one for me. But I can't get any response from the seller to my efforts to contact him. This motor has every farkle I think I would ever want except for highway pegs. Which makes me a bit suprised that it...

Being that today is Friday, I thought it was the perfect day to ask this question. Keeping in mind that I have yet to even ride an FJR, I think the design layout of the Gen I instrument cluster is far superior to the renditions that followed in Gen II & III. Gen I Gen II Gen III So as...

I have an HJC Sy-Max II modular helmet, manufactured in October 2008 and received as a present in December 2009, that the chin bar latch is failing. :( I noticed today that the chin bar was not latching securely and when I examine the mechanism found the the latch on one side does not seem to...

While looking for a 2006/2007 I found this 2003 FJR1300A for sale on a local CraigsList and then also on eBay for $200 less. I suspect the diplomat may be Russian from the stickers on the saddle bags lids.     I'm starting to wonder if this Gen I motor is a good deal I should consider...
