I bought a Canadian 2015 FJR1300A(I live in Colorado Springs, Colorado), and the display will only read in kilometers. I am thinking that if I swap out the ECU with an American model ECU I should get both Miles and Kilometers. I am not made of money, but if someone has an American model ECU for...

Problem has been solved, thank you SLK50 for your suggestion.

Have an upcoming trip to Alaska in 4 weeks and just got a whole bike service. My clutch master cylinder had a bunch of shit in it and after trying to clean it, apparently the seals have failed and it won't hold pressure. The shop said that they can't find a replacement(new) clutch master...

SLK50, Thank you for your suggestion, I had already tried partshark and partzilla, but I had not considered Amazon. Found a place called partsfish on Amazon that had the part in stock, and by calling them directly I got a better price than their advertised price on Amazon. My riding season is...

Need Yamaha part number 3P6-85980-09-00, the rear ABS sensor. The dealership says it will take 2 months to get one from Japan, there goes the whole summer if I can't find one.

Goodyear Tripletred Assurance has been great for me for the first 30K miles, lots of life left in her too.

Rzrbak, Wow! You have WAY more confidence in your mechanical skills than I have in mine. Congrats on being able to do an engine swap on your own. I am just thrilled that it did not end up being necessary for me :)

RossKean, You are spot on, I'm not going to worry about it, I'm just going to ride it :) Thanks again.

TomInPA, Oh, I will definitely be having a few words with the shop. Between towing and diagnostic charges I am into this for close to $500. It would seem to me that supposedly "certified" Yamaha mechanics should have been able to do a better diagnosis. Thanks again to everyone on this forum...

Ok everybody, it appears that my baby has risen from the dead and she is running just fine. Thank you to all the people on here that helped. The world is a happy place again :) I'm off for a long-overdue ride !!!!!!

RossKean, Well, I'll be damned. At your suggestion, I went out and tried to start my bike at WOT, and after 3 tries she STARTED! Son-of-a-bitch, she has been sitting for 2 months now, and maybe, just maybe, there was nothing wrong to begin with :( My bike is in a detached garage and it is...

FredW, I didn't hear any such damage, but the second opinion is a decent idea, thank you.

FredW, I originally towed the bike to the shop because it would not start, after trying for a week and half. Up until that point, the bike had been my daily driver, so it had not been sitting for any length of time. The battery and stator are new. RossKean, You have officially talked me out...

RossKean, My 2006 has 131,000 miles. Not really sure what happened, but after a wet compression test at the local shop I was informed that I have 3 cylinders running at 100psi, and one cylinder running at 70. I was told that ideally, they should all be over 200. Supposedly, the valves were all...

My 2006 engine needs to be rebuilt or replaced according to my local shop. I found a 2004 engine on Ebay that is at an OK price. My question is, can I switch out the 2006 engine with the 2004?

Back home safe. THANKS to everybody for a GREAT weekend !!!! Well, all except Julie, Darkside traitor ;)

That's all well and good, BLUFJR, except that I'm pretty sure 6am isn't even a real time, at least not in my world :)

There is a very large concert going on that weekend in Loveland, so Hotel/motel availability is limited.

Hi All Please count me in for the rally, reservations have been made at the hotel. Looking forward to this Philellis123

Clay-motion, Would really like to see your pics of the double darkside bike, surely there is some way to post them here. Maybe some help from one of these tech genius types?
