    front wheel bearings

    Yes, I used a long punch and was able to drive the opposite bearing out through the wheel centre. The second bearing was easier with the extra space if I remember correctly. I did mine about 8 years ago because I felt a little roughness in one bearing when doing a tire change.

    Bike Wont Start

    Try Yamaha customer service at 1-800-962-7926 . I'd be curious to see if your dealer has even contacted Yamaha. There should be a reference # for the case if they did. Customer service will want your VIN # and should have a record if a call was logged by the dealer. Hope this works out.

    Drive train "crashing" when engaged on a cold engine

    I've only owned 5 or 6 bikes all Japanese but they all clunked going into first if they weren't warmed up. My solution is to usually start it in first gear and go (no warmup) but if I start in neutral then I just grit my teeth and endure the clunk. Never caused any damage. I have a DL1000...

    New FJR rider as of today

    Also the fix for the scuffed mirror is to toss those factory ones and install FZ1 mirrors. They give a better rear view (no elbows!) and look better too. my 2cents

    FUN! Electrical

    My 2006 A model FJR had those exact symptoms in 2020 at almost the same mileage (97000km) and it was spider S6 burnt. I cut it off and soldered all the wires together and its been all good ever since. It was RossKean that pointed me in the right direction (thanks Ross!). Here's the thread from...

    The dreaded whine - questions

    Have a friend on his second Honda ST1300 those bikes have a whine you could hear 100yards away. FJR is silent compared to that.

    Paint for swingarm , rear pumpkin, etc

    So I went ahead and painted the bracket with the Dupli-color silver wheel paint and finished it with a matte clearcoat and it is almost a perfect match for the original colour. I had to do some rims on my daughters car so there was enough left over for this bracket.

    Paint for swingarm , rear pumpkin, etc

    I need to repaint the rear drive and one of the footpeg brackets in Silver, just wondering if the silver dupli-color wheel paint is a match to a 2006 or what might be . Thanks

    no start on 04

    You might try leaving the charger on longer to bring the battery up to full or try boosting it from another vehicle. However, If your battery was discharged during cold temperatures it may have frozen and will probably not recover from that. Having enough power to pressurize the fuel doesn't...

    Henry's Cover

    I was in Labrador last summer with a VStrom DL1000 and slipped on some sand breaking the left footpeg off. Had to ride for a day using the shifter pivot and occasionally the rear footpeg for a foot rest. Wasn't any fun. Next day at a truckstop asked if anyone local could weld aluminum was sent...

    Oxford Heated grips

    I got a deal on the Oxford Sport heated grips about 8 years ago. They were about 1/4" too short so I had a spacer made to fill the gap between the grip and bar end weight. Best accessory ever for Spring and Fall rides. The sport grips are also fairly firm so I would recommend looking at the...

    Last ride of 2021

    Haven't been riding much since Covid and my 06 FJR had 99820km on it so New Years Eve decided that she should go into 2022 with a milestone recorded on the odo. After a 2 hour ride at around freezing temps, here's my result. She's now at 100011 and ready for a bath and a few months rest. Best...

    CCT

    I have a 2006 which developed a rattling noise on the lower right side in 2015 with about 45000miles on it. I put a new CCT on that winter 2015-16 and it had the green dot. While playing with both i found the original (no painted dot) had a lot less spring force than the new one. Noise is gone...
