    Hit the kill switch when stuck in traffic

    I got tired of trying the search feature, so I'll just ask: When you're in traffic and see that you'll have to idle the engine for long periods, do you hit the kill switch and restart when you can go? I've been doing this for a while now, but I'm wondering if there is a downside to the practice...

    Why do you think my FJR's transmission failed?

    My old FJR ('06 Gen II with a bit under 80k miles) lost 4th gear while on a trip, so I traded it on the fly for a 2014 ES model and completed my trip. What made my '06 FJR's transmission fail? Or is the transmission a known weak point of the FJR's design? Oil changes were at 5k mile intervals...

    New FJR, a couple of questions

    My old FJR ('06 Gen II with a bit under 80k miles) lost 4th gear while on a trip, so I traded it on the fly for a 2014 ES model and completed my trip. With the new bike I received some clear plastic pieces that look like they're supposed to self-stick somewhere. Anyone know what they are for...

    49 state '06 tank drain doesn't; allows water into gas.

    The drain to remove water from inside the fuel filler does not drain. Instead, after rain ride or washing, when I open the filler cap, accumulated water runs into the fuel. I did a quick search here and I have the factory manual, which I will look at; but posting here might turn up issue(s)...

    I paid my now former dealer...

    Quite a while ago I paid my dealer to do the following: Fork oil change, new spark plugs, valve check/adjust. Yesterday, I removed the tank and heat shield to change the spark plugs and replace the CCT (Cam Chain Tensioner). What I found is that not a single fastener-- for the plumbing atop the...

    Cam Chain Tensioner revised again?

    The CCT has a new part number and now sports a green dot. Not a blue dot. The new number is 1MC-12210-00-00, the old number is 5JW-12210-01-00. To my naked eye, excepting the color of the dot, it looks like the old one.

    Quick question: Which Mobil1?

    Service SJ? Or something else? Please, please, no oil controversy. I just want to know which Mobil1 I should buy at the auto parts store today... local WalMarts don't carry a suitable Mobil1. Thank you in advance. Just a single knowledgible reply will suffice. I tried search...

    '06 temperature gauge high when bike is not moving

    Lately, it seems my bike reaches higher temperatures according to the gauge when I'm stuck in traffic. Once moving the bike runs at what I consider historically normal temperatures; in fact, the temperature drops amazingly quickly to normal once the bike is moving. A couple of times recently...

    Motorcycle Consumer News is going to poll FJR owners next month

    I think they allow polls from non-suscribers... is someone going to put the form here? Well? Whatcha gonna say? EDIT: This is in the June 2007 issue.

    The FJR as a sportbike

    Recently, I rode with a friend who was on an Aprilia Futura, which is the same as my other bike. I always knew the FJR was no match for the RST as a sporting bike, but riding along side the Futura put the comparison in stark contrast. Sport-tourer vs sport-tourer. The longer wheel base of the...

    G2 throttle cam installation

    Ok, yesterday I received my G2 throttle cam to fix the abrupt throttle tip in on my '06 FJR. Today, I'm home sick with a chest cold and will be seeing the doctor later... but I'm well enough to go outside IF the installation is simple. So, a few questions: Does the bar end weight come off...

    Possible additions to the list of oil fileters that will work...

    Ok, here's the list cribbed fron BOF '06 thread here in the forum: We can eliminate those that clearly do not work from the above list. Now, on the following page, I found some more possiblities. Scroll down to "5" I quote a bit from the above linked page: I bolded the ones not on the BOF...

    How about paint that matches the engine colors?

    Has anyone here found a readily available spray paint that matches the medium metallic grey on the alternator cover? I'm going to try looking at Duplicolor at WM or K-Mart later today or tomorrow, but any advance suggestions would be appreciated.

    Rear wheel removal on ABS '06

    I've read the links on various tech pages and tried search. On p. 4-24 of my shop manual, the instructions say to remove the rear wheel sensor and on p. 4-26 there is a warning not to touch that sensor to any metal. Anyone know why; anyone know the best way to avoid that possibility (cover...

    Is the '06 FJR frame new?

    Another thread here gave me the link to Yamaha's on-line parts catalog, so I looked up the frame numbers for an '06 ( PN 3P6-21110-00-00) and an '05 (PN 5VS-21110-00-00). Does this mean they are different, or the same?

    Gear lube suggestions....

    Please pardon me for 2 new threads in one day... but as with the wheel weight thread I tried Search... and 13 pages were returned. That said, my local dealer is out of the Owner Manual recommended rear end lube. What are acceptable, readily available substitutes? I don't want to start a gear...

    '06 wheel weights

    My '06's wheels have a ridge down the center and the wheel weights are attached. Is that new? Are these wheel weights a dealer-only item or are they available elsewhere? Thanks.

    FJR's availabe close to Buffalo, NY or Erie, PA... at less than MSRP?

    First off, I'm new, but I've lurked for about six months. Nice board. Now, I've decided to buy an '06 FJR. I've been able to find a few bikes, but the closest so far is about a 500 mile drive and the dealer is only talking coming down to $13,199 US dollars, plus $125 set up = $13,324 OTD (plus...
