It's been around 6 years since I replaced my Yuasa battery and now it gives me some signal that it could be near end of life. So I googled Yuasa YT14B-BS and links are turned up with price $153. It was around $85 in 2012 so it is quite a jump (~50%). Is this a result of Trump's tariff war...

I caught this auxiliary light listing on walmart web site for FJR...

Last weekend I was on a long distance trip to Zion and my AE shift warning light was on in the middle of freeway riding at about 80 mph. The light was on for about few minutes and disappeared. Half hour later I pulled over to a gas station to check out if anything wrong. Shift rod and bracket...

Has anyone tried to fit gen III centerstand to gen II bike? I've looked at the diagram of both model and they look almost identical except for the pedal type on gen III. The diagrams however don't indicate any dimensions so it's hard to say about the fitment. Pulling my bike on its centersand is...

I'm looking to retrofit my Shoei helmet standard shields (CW-1) with pinlock pins and antifog insert. the missing piece: pinlock pin and drill bit. Does anyone know or try to do it yourself against standard shield before? I don't know what size of the drill bit nor what kind of pins to work with...

I noticed oil leak around the bottom of the pickup rotor cover on my gen II 06 with around 40k miles. I did valve check last year but did not change the rotor cover gasket (should I?). Perhaps the gasket is now out of service? Any other possible cause? Appreciate your inputs. Dai

Where are good grounding points on FJR? I've installed a 12v power strip to my bike for connecting auxiliary lights following the instructions posted by Warchild on FJRTech.com. It is suggested to connect terminal 85 of a relay to any good grounding points. Does anyone know where they are on...

Hello, does anyone happen to have a front fork cap for gen II laying around unused/parted out? The OEM part number is 5JW-23111-01-00. I've stripped the head nut when removing the cap from my right front fork. As a result preload adjuster bolt is hard to screw up or down unless with force. Thanks,

Today a friend of mine asks me if I know of a motorcycle insurance since her auto insurance does not cover motorcycle. I told her to try Progressive and we went on rambling about how her boyfriend wants to get a new bike... Anyway I suggest her friend to take a MSF class to get started first. So...

how about compare it to Suzuki Bandit 1250SA? :-) The bandit weighs less, more nimble and fun. Of course it can't compare to FJR for power. I own both and enjoy both every minute.

Hello, I was wondering if anyone knows places to calibrate torque wrench around Los angeles or southern CA area. I just bought a used Snapon torque wrench off ebay and might need to calibrate it. What is normally the price of calibration? Thanks so much.

I ran across this web site with 2013 FJR image when browsing for 2013 new Kawasaki Ninja 300cc: https://www.newbikesinfo.com/foresight-new-yamaha-fjr-1400/ I don't know how someone comes up with that bike image but I don't see much difference from the current model overall except exhaust, turn...

I've order three parts at my local yamaha dealer and was notified that one of the part has to be back order with 1 and 1/2 month waiting. I decided to cancel the entire order but was charged 10% restocking fee. I haven't yet picked up the other two parts. Is this a common practice at all Yamaha...

Hello FJR AE owner, I plan to change the front tire in the next month or two. Page 4-17 of the service manual calls to: 1. Disconnect the front wheel sensor coupler, believed to be underneath the gas tank. Is this really necessary? 2. Remove the front brake disc (rotor). I want to have the...

I'm new to FJR and read some other Internet site about doing throttle body sync up while changing spark plugs. What is the throttle body sync up for and does GEN II need that service as well? Thanks in advance.

For the fist time after getting my FJR a month ago, I inspected my air filter last weekend. But getting to the filter was a pain in the neck. I had to remove the shift rod (just one end) and the shift actuator. One bolt on the actuator is really stubborn, perhaps over torqued. Initially I...

I picked up my bike from a Yamaha dealer last Saturday after leaving it there for recall service the day before (Friday). Immediately I notice the gas dial flashed with only one bar left. I ran the bike home and it hesitated after a couple miles. I filled up the tank with 6.2 gallons! I remember...

Anyone here uses Progressive Suspension TRK-2 tire repair kit and how is your first hand experience and impression? The kit works for both tube and tubeless tire so I may want to give it a try. I have both a Vulcan 900 cruiser (tube) and FJR. Thanks,
