So I just finished an oil and filter change on the FJR prior to my trip this next week to Kitty Hawk N.C. After I buttoned it up and ran it I realized I hadn't changed the crush washer on the drain plug. Just left the previous one on the bolt. Stupid me I had one on hand and everything. There...

So I was out for a ride on the first warm day of the year, today and noticed the temp gauge was running a little warm 5-6 bars when it's usually at 4. Nothing serious but wondering why. When I got home I took a close look at the rad from the front and back sides. Man are those fins on my 06...

As you might know Canadian 06 FJR's have a coded key ignition. There is a flashing LED in the tach face to show that it's armed. If I leave my bike for a few days without riding the LED stops flashing. The bike starts fine whether it's flashing or not. I'm doubtful that the mechcanics at at...

Well I have the wheels off for a new set of Avons for my 06 and Yamaha is still being cheap with the grease. Practically nothing on the splines. Some at the hub but still not alot. I guess they figure that the average person will never look at splines but will see the hub when a wheel is off...

I'm interested in a Corbin for my 06 and know a few on you have bought one. How are they working out for you? I think someone purchased one with 2" plus foam. Any Pictures? What I've seen looks a bit strange if you do only the riders seat. I had one on my old FJ1200 and loved it but I'm having...

Well I experienced a flat on the front of my 06 this morning while on the highway. Didn't do anything strange, the steering just started to feel really heavy. Noticed it immediately and pulled of at a ramp that was right there. CAA (AAA) came with a flat bed and the driver knew want he was...

I suspect that my bike might be a bit lazy. I now have about 2500 km (1500 miles) and am starting to investigate higher engine revs. What I have noticed is that rolling on the throttle at 60 to 70 mph in fifth, the bike accelerates but not really strong. Then after about two seconds it pulls...

I'm wondering how much free play there should be in the throttle (06). I've got about 1/4" and feel it's a bit sloppy. My old FJ had more like 1/8" and was much smoother getting on and off the gas. Seems to be a bit of snatch in the drive train. I know the chain drive can be a bit jerky when...

Hello all I have been watching this board for three months since I ordered my 06 A. I've been "back" riding for 11 years, the last 10 on a fantastic 92 FJ 1200. I like to do a bit of a touring and have accumulated 147,000 km (about 91,000 miles) on it. Been a great bike with no problems at all...
