    N-Line Accesory Shelf (gen 2)

    I have the accessory shelf for a gen 2 FJR. Shelf only, no hardware. In good condition, has some Velcro attached on top but that should come off if you don't like it. Located in Sacramento. $60 + shipping PM me an email address and I can send pictures. For some reason the image link wont work

    Jerky On / Off throttle

    Well, I added the G2 throttle tube and pulled all the slack out of the throttle.....much better now, like it should have been in the first place....not sure why Yamaha couldnt figure out something as simple as a throttle mechanism at the factory....In all the 20 bikes Ive owned Ive never seen so...

    Need help diagnosing electrical issue

    Well, I got it figured out. Putting the tank on got rid of the flashing gauge. It turns out the hazzard light were on becasue I flipped the switch to them at some point I guess. I have all the accesories working. Using my voltmeter I traced the issue back to the relay power wire. I picked up...

    Need help diagnosing electrical issue

    I will plug the tank in. I know my ground harness has an issue. Its suppose to go into the shop to get the ground harness replaced. It went in for the recall but they discoverd it was too late and Yamaha is going to replace the whole ground harness. I take it in for that next week to get the...

    Wiring up my fuzeblock

    I am re-doing all the accesory wires on my FJR. The original owner added a ton of crap but ran all the wires direct to the battery. I currently have everything re-routed to a fuzeblock FZ-1. However, I got to the PIAA wire harness and the power leads are very short. I am rthinking the easiest...

    Camping two up on the FJR

    So has anyone used a Upack on the FJR? Anyone have pictures, experiences 2 up with one? It seems like my only option for camping two up. I should also note that my bike has a givi rack on it and not the factory rack

    Camping two up on the FJR

    Camping two up on the FJR

    Damn, you guys have me rethinking the camping. I already do some of the tips like I dont do meals at the campsite, I eat out. I just need food, clothes, tent and sleeping bag. I use my clothes for a pillow and my girlfriend will do the same. My biggest challenge will be mounting the tent to the...

    vista cruise and heated grips

    I have tried that but the wire seems to interfere with the tension disks for the vista cruise....I just dont want to have to cut my grip....but even then I am uncertain that the vista cruise wont be putting too much pressure against the grip.....I may just leave the vist cruise off....

    I have BMW grips, a vista cruise and heated grips. I had to replace the heated grip elements becasue of something the previous owner did and install the G2 throttle tube. I put it back together and I cant seem to get it back together and work properly. Either the vista lock wont hold or the...

    K1600GT Ride Report

    Being a long time BMW fan, I demoed a K1600GT. It felt just too big. I also didnt like the clutch feel with the slipper. I think BMW needs some work in that department. The K12 and K13 clutch has had many issues as well, although the FJR clutch isnt exactly perfect. I ended up buying a 07...

    R1150GS

    I had an 04 1150GS. They are great bikes! The final drive issue is a bit overplayed by the internet. My biggest issue with the GS was buffeting. I still miss mine and wish I still had it. Handled much better than the FJR and the suspension will soak up even the knarliest roads. The boxxer is a...
