How it mostly effects me is; I'm set up for a curve, I have the right gear maybe about three K on the tach, I'm just holding the throttle steady when I suddenly notice the the road camber flattens out so I need to slow slightly and let off the throttle some and that's when I get way too much...

I just finished changing my tensioner, I think it made a little noise from time to time but because it is a first gen with 48K I thought I would change it just in case. I had hell with the bolt that goes in the end of the tensioner, I dropped that bolt in the frame six times and had to fish it...

Apparently this phenomenon is vastly misunderstood, however it is very real to those who are familiar with it.

This is an old thread I know but a slipper clutch would be a welcome addition to the FJR. If you are a corner junkie (or ride in the rain) and have spent some time on a bike equipped with a Slipper clutch you will miss it on the FJR. With the closed throttle fueling shut off modern bikes are...

I just pulled the jumper on my 03 yesterday and I have to say it was very difficult to find even knowing exactly where it was supposed to be. I pulled the windshield to access that small cover in front and the fairing top on the right and I had to probe around for a while to find that...

Great Thanks

This is exactly correct and there should be a way to correct the linking at part throttle also. more important than idle to me.

I have another question; I don't think I ever bought a bike and kept the stock windscreen. How is the screen on this 08? I'm 6'1" (or was).

That's really good to know? That's why I posted here, Thanks I don't know much about the Zumo 550 with XM radio, except it is expensive...

He was waiting on the title to come in and it did just a few minutes ago, so if I want it today I have to drive him back home, a 100 mile round trip right through Houston (I would rather take an ass whipping instead), or wait until Friday morning and his brother will take him back and I don't...

Yes, they are included. the only thing he does not have is the plugs for the frame where the bags go...

Okay, it's 'tomorrow' now. Enquiring minds want to know -- is it there? No not yet, he actually got that overnight request for the title in a little late, so it looks like in the morning. :rolleyes: Apparently he just moved near here and has taken a job that consumes all his time and that...

Well after speaking with the guy that has the 08, I committed to buying it. It's black bone stock but does come with a Garmin Zumo 550 w/ XM Satellite radio and a new set of Pirelli tires. 11K on the clock. It will cost me about 600 more for the 08, but it is 1 year newer with 1/3 the miles...

I just got off the phone with Yamaha and the "Main Switch" recall was completed and the " Harness sub-lead" was also. There were two service bulletins; 1. top rack mount (oem) 2. Something about the alternator? No more info on this available from them... In the recall notation their was...

OK, Thanks Yes, it does have heated grips and a auxiliary power socket (small), I forgot about it.

I do have a set of gauges and when I do the spring I will check the balance. I don't think the clutch deal is fluid related? I think it is just me not being used to the nature of this bike, I don't remember it being an issue while riding it either. I always change all the fluids when I get a...

I'm also looking at an 08 soon, but like you I like that 07 color. This bike is 7800.00 and the 08 is about a grand more. Thanks for noticing those items because I did not know it had any mods other than a throttlemeister which I have to have anyway.

The 07 pictured above did not exhibit any surging, however I did not ride it too far so I really don't know if it has any symptoms or not but I'm fairly sensitive to this sort of thing and none was noted, it was a great first ride. It was a little lean @ cold start but that is not a problem for...

It may be something that has gained popularity here, but it is certainly not an issue with most modern production bikes. I have had just about all of them, but none with that necessity. It may be mentioned here frequently as a means to repair the surging issue I'm reading about, rather there is...

I'm reading some complaints about surging. Can someone fill me in on that issue? I'm also reading about a lot of Throttle body syncing, is that an issue with this bike? Thanks...
